[cobirds] Followup on New Species on BBS Routes in South-, Central- and North-Eastern Colo

Hello Again,

 

   Following up on my post this past Tuesday in which I asked for ID help on birds I'd seen on my BBS routes... 

 

   Quite a few people reviewed the pictures I had of what I thought might be an Ash-throated Flycatcher in Baca County and what I thought might be a Hooded Oriole in Kit Carson County.  The consensus was that the Ash-throated Flycatcher ID was correct and the Hooded Oriole ID was not - the bird is actually a first-year male Orchard Oriole.

 

   I thank everyone who helped me on this.  Over a dozen people responded, which I think speaks volumes to the remarkable nature of the folks on this listserv.

 

Keep Smilin',
