Wow! That is a great accounting Dave. Maybe all of those birds will head down our way in Lamar. So far, fall migration has been slow. Linda Paulsen Lamar, CO Prowers County

--Nina Routh, Mike Serruto, and I birded Crow Valley Campground today from about 9am-2pm. Hundreds of scouts were camped in the elm grove n of the Main Picnic Shelter. They were hauling logs out of the south fenceline area ("doing conservation work" according to the adult leaders involved) and doing lots of stick fighting and throwing, but, really, for such a big group, it was not all that noisy or disruptive to birding or the birds.
Highlight species were:
*Nashville Warbler (m, race undetermined) low in the weeds/willows southwest of the Main Picnic Area
Gray Flycatcher (1) probably the same bird that has been around for a while now
Hammond's Flycatcher (2-3)
Dusky Flycatcher (1)
Least Flycatcher (1)
Townsend's Warbler (at least 6 (one of which might have had some Black-throated Green in it, no good photos unfortunately), almost every one we saw was in Siberian Elm)
Red-naped Sapsucker (1m) FOS for me down low
Cassin's Vireo (3: 2 dull, 1 bright)
Warbling Vireo (1)
Orange-crowned Warbler (4)
MacGillivray's Warbler (1f)
Black-headed Grosbeak (1)
Western Tanager (2-3)
Sharp-shinned Hawk (2)
Ferruginous Hawk (1 flyover)
Pine Siskin (3)
Red-breasted Nuthatch (4)
White-breasted Nuthatch (1)
Hairy Woodpecker (1 mountain form
Townsend's Solitaire (3)
Solitary Sandpiper (1)
Cassin's Kingbird (1 heard well)
Hummingbird sp. (1)
Oh yeah - Wilson's Warbler (at least 50, probably more like 75)
We ran into Jack from eastern Boulder County who said he was with a group earlier this morning that had a Great Crested Flycatcher in the Group Area in the nw corner plus a couple unidentified hummingbirds, one of which might have been a Calliope. We did not see the big flycatcher and only had a brief glimpse of our hummingbird, which also went unidentified.
Total of 42 species for the cg and a brief drive thru Briggsdale.
