[cobirds] Yesterday in Weld County (and Boulder)

Greetings All

With Crow Valley closed, I started near my home at Golden Ponds in Longmont
Few migrants were present, but an imm male AM REDSTART and adult male MAGNOLIA WARBLER were singing on the s. side of the river, e. of the bridge, on the side of the trail away from the river.

Then off to an area near Milliken, w. of where Hwy 60 crosses the S Platte. This area must be birded from the road. 
An adult male SCARLET TANAGER was calling repeatedly from the edge of the road and flew off when I reached for my camera. Several BH Grosbeaks and one RB GROSBEAK was singing in the area and a few migrant Western Tanagers were still present. An AM REDSTART was here as well.

The "natural area" that heads w. from the main portion of Glenmere Park in Greeley had a small group of migrants at a grouping of Box Elder including a singing PLUMBEOUS VIREO and a female MAGNOLIA WARBLER. Farther to the west, there was an ALDER FLYCATCHER (I think about 20 have been seen in CO this spring)

Eaton Cemetery was relatively inactive.
Seeley, Neff, Neuman Reservoirs were a yawn. Windsor Res had many Western and a few Clark's Grebes, but little else.

Sorry for the delayed report.
Good Birding
