[cobirds] Migrants and Hummers--Lakewood-Green Mtn/Jeffco


Things are starting to pick up here in Lakewood.  Yesterday, we had a four male hummer day including Black-chinned (most common), Broad-tailed, Rufous, and Calliope.  The dispersing Bullock's are traveling through the neighborhood, large groups of Bushtits are moving through again,  and we has an early male Western Tanager eating Buckthorn berries in the backyard. It will be interesting to see how the fires and drought conditions affect this year's fall migration...
