Today Nick Moore and I decided to see what was around Hale. The tastiest tidbits were in the woods at "Hale Crossing" at the NE corner of MM and 4. In those woods were a singing Summer Tanager, an imm Magnolia Warbler in rather worn plumage, and a singing Red-eyed Vireo (the vireo was incorporating rather perfect snippets of Eastern Wood Pewee and Great Crested Fly into its song).
At Hale Ponds there were
5 Red-eyed Vireos (3 singing males, likely paired with 2 females),
A Willow Fly
10 GC Flycatchers
70+ Orchard Orioles
4 Baltimore Orioles
1 RB Woodpecker
3 YB Cuckoo
2 Green Herons
Migration is on the way again - southbound. There were >125 Wilson's Phalarope, all females, and the drying Neegronda.
Waterbirding was otherwise (perhaps predictably) somewhat lackluster, but a Mountain Plover in the prairie dog town on the south side, towards west, of Lake Henry was a nice surprise.
Lastly, there was a Lewis's Woodpecker where CO 194 crosses the Fort Lyon Canal
