Hi, all. Quite understandably, we tend here at NFC-L to post our observations a bit after the fact. Guilty as charged!--I've been known to wait days or even a week or more before I actually post.
So I thought I'd mix things up tonight, and just let y'all know that there's a decent nighttime Chipping Sparrow flight under way *right now,* Lafayette, eastern Boulder County, Colorado, USA. During the recently concluded 2am hour, I was hearing Chipping Sparrow flight calls at a rate [JUST HEARD ONE, 3:11 a.m. local time] of about one every four minutes. Nothing like the huge flights of thrushes, etc., the East Coast listeners will get in September, but, still, a nice reminder that there's plenty going on in the skies above our houses, even in the West, [THERE GOES ANOTHER, 3:12 a.m.] even in July.
