[cobirds] Red-eyed Vireo and American Redstart, Boulder

Hi everyone (again),

I'm just getting my fill of mostly well-known local rarities in these few days I'm back in town here before I leave again for SW Colorado, hence the flurry of postings. This morning I swung by the South Mesa Trailhead in Boulder County, just off the road that takes you to Eldorado Canyon. Joe Roller had told me about a possibly (or probably) nesting pair of Red-eyed Vireos near the parking lot a day or two ago. I heard one singing as soon as I stepped out of the car, but it then stopped and was silent for about half an hour. It finally resumed in that same general area, and I was able to get fairly good recordings of it.

In the process of recording it, I discovered a strapping, singing male American Redstart, moving through the boxelders. I got a recording of him too.

And while I have your attention, I should also mention that I easily refound Christian Nunes' Grace's Warbler 2 days ago (6/11/13) up along the Spring Brook Trail where it had been found and previously observed, as well as the Black and Eastern Phoebes at the 75th Street crossing of Boulder Creek.

Thanks!

Eric
