[cobirds] Williamson's Sapsucker, Eastern, Black and hybrid phoebes also on Canon City Riverwalk

Yesterday I also found a female Williamson's Sapsucker on the Canon City Riverwalk near the location I saw the possible Greater Pewee.  I saw one today also and it about a quarter mile east of where I saw one yesterday, may be the same bird.

In the past several days I have seen several Black Phoebes, at least 2 Eastern Phoebes and likely two Black X Eastern hybrid phoebes on the Canon City Riverwalk between the Sell's Lake parking lot and Raynolds Ave.

Today I saw 2 MacGillivray's Warblers, both females.  Lots of Wilson's Warblers moving through, seeing adult males more.  Still some Yellow Warblers though numbers diminished.  And there was a big push of migrating Western Tanagers--I saw 25-30 in less than an hour! 

If you come down to look for the possible Greater Pewee, be aware there are a good number of Western Wood-Pewees moving through and many are not calling.

Note:  The Canon City Riverwalk from MacKenzie to Ash Street hill is still closed off for sewer replacement.
