I led a Boulder Audubon Field trip to Gilpin County today; we had a lively group and enjoyed beautiful scenery, pretty nice weather until it started clouding up in the early afternoon and fair birding.
We managed five warbler species (Wilson’s, Audubon’s, MacGillivray’s, Yellow and Common Yellowthroat), six sparrows (Chipping, Song, White-crowned, Lincoln’s plus Green-tailed Towhee and Gray-headed Junco) but missed Fox Sparrow and three empids (Cordy, Dusky and Hammond’s) among our 50+ species for the day. Most unusual for time and place was a Broad-winged Hawk soaring over the Snowline Lake area west of CO 119 on CR 12.
