[cobirds] 3 FOS Birds, Fountain Creek Nature Center, El Paso Cty, 4/29

Hi, everyone.

 

This morning Jeanne and I went to Fountain Creek to look for some of the birds reported over the weekend. We ended up with three unexpected birds that really made the morning fun.

 

First we saw a Western Wood-pewee on a snag at the south end of Rice's Pond. Our earliest before today was May 5th in 2011.

 

Then on the way back to the car we saw a group of bushes getting their leaves and noticed movement in the branches. We were delighted to see a Nashville Warbler and a Vesper Sparrow moving about.

 

Good birding, all.
