At the pond along the Larimer/Weld County line north of Highway 14 (2 miles
south of Cobb Lake), there were 7 Whimbrel hunkered down in the snow at the
north end of the pond. Along with the Whimbrel were several Willets, about
4-5 Wilsons Phalaropes, several Yellowlegs of both species and about

This morning, an empid called me out into my yard. I'm leaning Gray
Flycatcher, as the bird has been twitching its tail, downward it seems to
me, all day. I've been fooled by twitchy Duskies before, so I need to
inspect my photos and videos before I call it.
Glad that bird got me outside, too.
COBirders,
I had a pretty major fallout of Chipping Sparrows at Long Pond in north Larimer
today. Mostly on the shore of the lake picking at the mud, they numbered in the
hundreds. They were everywhere. It was really quite something to see. I did
pick out one Clay-colored Sparrow among them.
I also have a fall out of Chipping Sparrows but not as many as Rachel.
They are covering the ground under my feeders.
On a different note, my neighbor has a hole in their siding and a pair of
Mountain Chickadee's have started building a nest in the hole. I'm at
6000' and it seems low for a
My group of 5 birders spent an hour at Melody Tempel Grove in northwest Prowers
County (north of Lamar) just now. Very birdy but few unexpected species,
nothing rare (per eBird). A molting first spring male Summer Tanager was the
highlight.

We got heavy rains last night and it stopped about 8:00 am. Figured the
birds might have been tight in cover so spent a few hours out and about
around Alamosa and Monte Vista. Once it warmed up, the birds started to
move and things picked up. Here's what was out and about today.

April went out like a lion.
Starting around 2:30 pm this Tues., Apr. 30, afternoon, we got heavy sleet
and snow in eastern Boulder County, so I headed over to Greenlee Preserve &
environs to see what was out and about. Conditions were trying, but the
birds were plentiful, among them the
After being frozen out yesterday and getting snow overnight, we opted to
try for a late start this morning. We arrived at 8:30, to grey skies, snow
on the ground, and cold temps. But the Yellow-rumped Warblers were
"everywhere", so we decided to open just a few nets and see what happened.
A
I'm still leaning Gray Flycatcher, given the consistency of the downward,
flicking tail and the apparent hook on the bill. Checklist, with so-so
photographs, is here: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S55606416. I'd
welcome confirmations. Second opinions, too.
Thanks,

Had 2 males at my feeder today, 2 weeks earlier (May 14) than last years 1st

Not Chipping Sparrows, buttoday while on my way to work I briefly
