[cobirds] Eastern Colorado Saturday

Kathy Mihm-Dunning and I headed out east to see if ANY migrants were about.
Well there WERE some migrants at every stop.

Flagler SWA:
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - 1
Eastern Phoebe - 1
Blue-headed Vireo - 1
Winter Wren - 1
American Robin - 0, NONE! Zilch! Zippo!
Gray Catbird - 1 (late-ish)
Yellow-rumped Warblers - lots
Wilson's Warbler - 1 late
White-throated Sparrow - 1
Lincoln's Sparrow - 8
Red Crossbill - 3 (a tad odd for the location...no pines in the
area).

Arriba City Park:
Great Horned Owl - 1
Merlin - 1 Taiga race mobbing the Great Horned Owl! At the same time
a
Richardson's (prairie) Merlin was mobbing the much darker
and slightly
larger Taiga! Remains of several Eurasian Collard-Doves
found at several
locations in the park. :-)
Blue-headed Vireo - 1 (yes, two in one day!)
White-throated Sparrow - 1

Private Ranch in Lincoln County:
White-throated Sparrow - 1

Jackson Reservoir State Park (Campground):
White-throated Sparrow - 1

In addition to the above goodies we had good numbers of:
Ruby-crowned Kinglets
Hermit Thrushes
Yellow-rumped Warblers
Orange-crowned Warblers
Dark-eyed Juncos (Pink-sided, Oregon & Slate-colored)
A few sparrows of the genus spizella still present.

So, there ARE migrants finally coming though...better late than never! :-)
