I drove up to Pueblo Mtn Park on Sunday to see the reported nesting Acorn
Woodpeckers. Both the male and female Acorn Woodpeckers didn't show up
right away but I wasn't able to get there until the hot midday. And I did
not hear a Grace's Warbler singing though I didn't remember that they were

Hi CoBirders,
Just a clarification on my report from Chatfield for June 16, fwiw. I
walked along the South Platte for a river distance of about 2 km, but with
traveling on side trails and some coverage on the Douglas side as well as
Jeffco, birding distance was probably more like 3+ km.

A lone Red-necked Phalarope was hanging out with a single Wilson's
Phalarope in the large flooded area on east end of Weld CR 48

Thanks to Paul Hurtado and to Nathan Pieplow for their contributions. Not
sure I agree that this bird's vocalizations are typical (per discussion
at Xeno-Canto) for Dusky Flycatcher. I randomly grabbed this Chaffee County
Dusky Flycatcher recording from Xeno-Canto:
P.s. Here are links to recordings of some inarguably normal songs from
that same Saturday, June 7, in Rocky Mountain National Park:

Two Ash-throated Flycatchers were in our yard this morning, calling and
checking out nest boxes. We're just west of the South Bay (county park)
of Horsetooth Reservoir, on the ridge above the pavilion.

Let me preface by saying I have never seen a Little Egret, but there is a it's
right now photographing that appears to be one! Two extremely long head
individual head feathers without normal shaggy look of Snowy Egret.
It is in the irrigation ditch off of WCR 48 near Lower Larham.

Alright I guess my excitement was premature - Steve M saw the bird this morning
and said he is leaning toward hybrid or aberrant Snowy...

Well Steve's not 100% sure - bird shows two long individual head plumes and
clean yellow feet without yellow extending up the back of the leg at all.
(Both plus for Little). It shows some moderate plumes on back end, very little
on the chest, and Steve feels that the bill size is more Snowy
I don't know if anyone has seen the Acorn and/or Red-headed Woodpeckers since
it was reported by Mark Chavez I believe on June 15th. My wife (Laura) and I
spent about 1 1/2 hours (10:30 am. to noon) looking for these birds this
morning to no avail. I'm not saying they were not there, we just

Are there any summer records for Cassin's Finch on the plains? What else might
sound like a Cassin's Finch on the plains at this time of year?

This morning while taking out the trash, I heard a Cordilleran Flycatcher and
than saw the bird as it was calling away. He then moved to the backyard as he
chased the Mountain Chickadees and their young(nested in our box for the second
straight year). While watching the activity which
Have you considered the possibility of Egretta garzetta, the Little Egret
of Eurasia? To me the excellent photographs are like this species at every
point. See Sibley (older version) p. 89. The two long head plumes are key.
Has this species been recorded in Colorado?
