HI all:
It is certainly a rare year for us when the winds don't seem to send the birds scurrying for cover. But in SE Colorado this weekend, winds were few to none, making for great bird finding conditions. My wife Lisa and I spent the weekend in SE Colo and had a blast. Here's some of the hilites...
Friday: Broad-winged Hawk, adult, Lathrop State Park, Huerfano County
Blue-winged Warbler: Lamar CC (Prowers)
Black-and-white Warbler (female) LLC (Prowers)
Nashville Warbler, LCC (Prowers)
Saturday: Two Buttes (Baca Cty) with many other birders
Black-throated Blue (found by Joey Kellner group)
Yellow-throated Warbler (JK group) (Lisa's nemesis bird is no longer a nemesis. As Joe R said, now you'll have another nemesis bird!)
2 Black-and White Warblers
Solitary Sandpipers (2)
Ash-throated Flycatcher
At Nee Noshe
5 Black-bellied Plovers
At Lamar CC
1 Curve-billed Thrasher
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Sunday May 5th
LCC: Northern Parula juv
Ruby-throated Hummingbird adult male
Gray-cheeked Thrush
Temples Grove, and thanks Joey and all for the directions!
Hooded Warbler male
Summer Tanager (juv)
Nashville Warbler
We sure enjoyed seeing and chatting with many front range birder friends. Nice to see you all. Ended up with 13 species of warblers and the best year in recent many. But NO Yellow Warblers!
Best to all.
