[cobirds] Western Tanagers moving through Canon City in good numbers

Yesterday I saw about 2 dozen migrating Western Tanagers along the Arkansas River as it runs through Canon City.  I got a couple of photos of one who hawd just had a quick bath in a ditch that I have posted on my Birds and Nature blog

Today I checked Brush Hollow State Wildlife Area.  Though fairly quiet bird-wise, there was a singing bird I believe was an American Redstart though since I did not see I would hate to call it with the potential for mimicking (especially since Ted Floyd recorded a Yellow-breasted Chat that sounded perfectly like a Curve-billed Thrasher)

And a late report:  I watched a Western Screech-Owl in a tree in my backyard last week for 45 minutes.   That is the second time since I have lived a few hundred yards from the greenbelt around the Canon City Riverwalk that I have spotted one of these in my yard.
