[cobirds] Blue-gray Gnatcatchers building nest in Red Canyon Park

I drove up to Red Canyon Park this morning because I am leading a Denver Audubon Master Birder Field Trip on Saturday.  Today was the coolest day this week but I wasn't able to get up there until almost 10 because I have a early class I went to first. It was still quite productive:  one pair and a single Gray Flycatcher, singing Bewick's Wren, singing Canyon Wren, several Plumbeous Vireo (singing off and on), several Spotted Towhees (singing), a few Black-head Grosbeak (singing), 3 Western Tanagers, 2 Blue-gray Gnatcatchers (building a nest as seen here), and several each Scrub Jays, Chipping Sparrows, and Common Ravens.  Big miss was Juniper Titmouse and Black-throated Gray Warbler.

I did get some very nice photos of the gnatcatcher pair building their nest that I have uploaded to my Birds and Nature blog. I also got a very good tho brief video clip of nest building but haven't got it uploaded to the internet yet so will post tomorrow.
