Over the week-end I did some birding at the Royal Gorge Park (not the for-pay now amusement park but the free and not-yet developed park owned by the City of Canon City). One can get to the edge of the Royal Gorge Canyon which is breathtaking and not uncommonly flown by White-throated Swifts. Instead of the usual 5-15 birds were a flock of more than 50 White-throated Swifts engaged in a feeding frenzy, evidently a flock that had stopped over to fill up for the rest of their migration. I got some photos of the birds that I have uploaded to my Birds and Nature blog.
Other birds in the park, which had burned severely last year but has been reseeded with native grass and wildflowers, included a large number of returning Pine Siskins that were first of the season birds for me and a few Yellow-rumped Warblers.You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
