[cobirds] Singing Least Flycatcher in Grand County


Today I found a singing Least Flycatcher in Grand County.  From the junction of U.S. 40 and county road 39, a few miles east of Kremmling, go south on road 39.  You drop down a hill and then cross a large, wet meadow where snipe are common.  At the far end of the meadow, pass a house on the left and then enter a deciduous woods.  The bird was about 100 feet left the road, and about 100 feet in from the edge of the meadow.  It was giving its two-note song, repeated many times in a rapid cadence.

 

The most interesting bird for the day, other than the flycatcher, was a Gray Catbird in Pioneer Park in Hot Sulphur Springs.
