CO Birders :
While visiting my son in New Castle this past weekend , I took the opportunity to do an early morning visit to Cameo and Coal Canyon in Mesa county before it got too hot and the motor bikes and ATV's started up.
I did get to see and photograph Chukar my target bird , male and female , they seem to have moved much further up Coal Canyon than previous years , probably because of the active shooting range in the lower part of the Canyon.
And I did find a Gray Vireo nest in juniper in Coal Canyon , took me over half an hour to find it , could hear the bird singing but just could not see it despite being only 6 feet from the sound . So eventually I found the nest and the bill of the vireo just poking above the rim of the nest . My question is what sex was this bird , can both male and female vireos sing the same song from the nest ?. It was singing the same song as on Sibley.
