[cobirds] Ken Caryl Valley open space - more Ovenbirds; Jefferson Co

Following up on Mike's recent post I covered some trails in the "Foothills Open Space" of Ken Caryl Valley (no public access to this open space), south of Mike's area of coverage, and including the area where I reported Ovenbirds a week ago. I tallied 24 OVENBIRDS while surveying along the Lost Canyon Trail, and parts of the Shaffer Trail and Upper Massey Draw Loop Trail. 22 were singing on apparent territories, but one was carrying nest material in an aspen grove beside Massey Creek, and another was closely positioned with one of the singing birds, as if paired. A singing male INDIGO BUNTING was along Shaffer Trail near the top of Lost Canyon Trail.
