This morning for a hour, I walked around the eastern end of the Osprey Picnic Area, below Pueblo Reservoir dam in Rock Canyon, Pueblo County. The most interesting birds were the mountain birds, that don't breed here in Pueblo, which should be up in the mountains by now. I saw a singing male Wilson's Warbler, male (not singing) MacGillivray's Warbler, female Yellow-rumped "Audubon's Warbler, Western Tanagers (singing), Lincoln's Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow, and a Swainson's Thrush. These birds would be noteworthy, if they are seen on the plains in June. I'm sure the North American Birds Regional Editors for Colorado, would be interested in all sightings of mountain birds from non-breeding locations, during the Summer Season (which is June 1-Jul 31). Other highlights in Rock Canyon today, were a singing first year male Orchard Oriole and singing Brown Thrasher.
Good birding,
