Wow! While watching feeder birds in my back yard, I just had a beautiful male western tanager land in a nearby shrub.
Cherry Creek SP observations over the past few days have a couple of minor interesting birds...and habitat so flooded that the "shoreline" near Cottonwood Creek extended to the footpath, with water now receded. Willets were on the footpath (new shoreline). One great tailed grackle was near Cottonwood Creek as it crosses the road on Wednesday 5/4...no further sightings. Last weekend most of the sparrows were Brewer's.
Wilson's snipe have been present in their usual location, just east of the wooded area where Cherry Creek crosses the road, for about two weeks. And, when the area was flooded last weekend, I saw and head a Virginia rail there.
In Chicago Mon-Tues I had pigeons (I know, rock doves), starlings, ring-billed gulls, and house sparrows as I compete with Ira for an Illinois list. A couple of warblers flew to the other side of the Chicago River, and I was without binocs.
