June is the time for oddities, and high on that oddity list would be a singing DUSKY FLYCATCHER at Crow Valley Campground, Weld, acting for all the world as if it was on territory this morning. Also at Crow Valley was a pair of Western BG Gnatcatchers, the subspecies I'd expect there, but there are no nesting records that I know of for this area, and perhaps, for the county
On private land near Milliken there was an INDIGO BUNTING, 6 or so Lazulis, and an Indigo x Lazuli plus a Wild Turkey nest.
Loloff had no rarities, but is still stuffed to the gills with avocets and stilts, some now with young.
Duck Lake just west of Fossil Creek at 32 Am Avocets, 3 BN Stilts and scads of ducks of a good variety
Ketchner (excuse me if the spelling is wrong) ponds, just e. of Strauss Cabin Rd, heading s. from Harmony road near Fort Collins (that would be LARIMER COUNTY).... had a WHIMBREL, plus a couple each of Snowy and Great Egret. Last week, I had a Caspian Tern here.
Good Birding
