Apparently the rains grounded a number of migrating Orange-crowned Warblers as I saw more than a dozen today foraging in a mixed flock on the Canon City Riverwalk just west of Raynolds. Most vocal in the flock were several Black-capped Chickadees but several Brown Creepers were also vocalizing. Also in the flock were a few Ruby-crowned Kinglets, a couple of Mountain Chickadees, 2 White-breasted Nuthatches and several Downy Woodpeckers.
I got a photo of one of the Orange-crowned Warblers that shows it holding it's left wing down rather far, something I didn't see when they were flitting quickly about. I hope it doesn't have an injured wing as that would be a serious problem for it's continuing it's migration. I have posted that photo on my Birds and Nature blog.

Also I found my first of the season American Dipper near the far west end of the Canon City Riverwalk earlier this week and have a couple of photos of it on my blog also.
