I didn't get it posted night before last (as a quick acting viral infection stopped me in my tracks) but there was a first of the year Black-crowned Night-Heron at Sell's Lake. I wasn't able to do any birding again until this afternoon and the Night-Heron was gone. However, I found a Green Heron at that very busy pond. The two Black Phoebes along with an Eastern (tho may be a hybrid) and a Say's Phoebe continues at that location providing views of all 3 phoebe species often within 25 feet of each other. The single Wilson's Phalarope that I noted was here on Thursday has not been joined by at least 10 others There were dozens of Yellow-rumped Warblers, both Myrte and Audubon's, working the trees around this private pond that is viewable from a public parking area.
The Hermit Thrushes and American Pipits I did post about Thurs night had moved on by this afternoon.
On Thursday I also found 2 Black Phoebes foraging together near the MacKenzie Ave parking area for the Canon City Riverwalk. The Greater Yellowlegs foraged in a pool of water in an agricultural field. Also had a Peregrine Falcon dive after some bluebirds, of which both Western and Mountain were in very good numbers.
I heard a familiar call on the Arkansas River that I believe is a shorebird but I cannot place it--'kee, kee, do,, kee, kee, do'. Let me know if that is familiar to you.
