[cobirds] Today at Crow Valley (Weld) and Jackson Res (Morgan)

Greetings All,

Sorry, this will need to be brief, as I am lookin' at 4 hours of sleep. Today, Larry Arnold and I birded Crow Valley and Jackson Res, mostly.

Today, there was a MOURNING WARBLER (imm female)  -- Jackson State Park, about half way between visitor center and "boat launch" in Russian Olives. Oporornis, with hood broken in center of chest by yellow which bled into throat. Called like Mourning Warbler as well

Large numbers of Wilson's Warblers moving through (nearly 70 at Jackson) + 3 American Redstarts

At Crow Valley: Ovenbird, Red-eyed Vireo, Baltimore Oriole, but races of WB Nuthatch, 3 RB Nuthatches, Pine Siskin, BC Chickadee

At Norma's Grove: Indigo Bunting (and by Joey Kellner and friend -- Ash-throated Flycatcher)

Shorebirds at Jackson: Massive numbers, only rarity being 2 Buff-breasted Sandpipers. Between Jackson and nearby Andrick Ponds (which had 8 BN Stilts, a fairly unusual bird for Morgan) we had 22 species of shorebirds. 

At Andrick Ponds SWA, 1 Northern Waterthrush.

Good Birding
Steve Mlodinow
