I was able to get out early this morning (3 June) for a couple of hours from 630am to 830am and I had a few things of a little interest for early June (Summer Season).
Pueblo City Park (The May rains have brought the June mosquitoes to Pueblo):
Hammond's Flycatcher - 1 singing in the pines
Red-breasted Nuthatch - 1 (does breed here)
Pygmy Nuthatch - 2 (breeding here now, at this low elevation)
Green Heron - 1 (the other one is sitting on a nest that can't be seen)
Mississippi Kite - 1 (sitting on the nest, didn't notice the other adult)
Ring-billed Gull - 1 young bird
Hairy Woodpecker - 1
Pueblo Nature Center ($4 parking fee, unless you are a Pueblo Nature Center/Raptor Center member):
American Redstart - 1 first spring singing male (as soon as I got out of the car in the parking lot, I could hear it)
Red-breasted Nuthatch - 1 calling in the riparian cottonwoods (assume this is a migrant, and not breeding here)
Violet-green Swallow - 1 (migrant on the plains)
Brown Thrasher - 1 (probably breed here)
Ash-throated Flycatcher - 2 (breed here)
thrush sp. - 1 (seen briefly, probably migrant Swainson's Thrush)
I thought I heard another warbler sing one time, (I know what it sounded like), though since I never heard anything again and didn't see anything, except for Yellow Warblers, the Redstart, Common Yellowthroats, and Chats, I'll have to leave it, as who knows.
Pueblo West:
White-winged Dove - 1 singing
Also, on 2 June, two Acorn Woodpeckers continue (not surprising) at Pueblo Mountain Park in Beulah, s.w. of Pueblo, Pueblo County. Several warblers were present, Yellow-rumped, Virginia's and MacGillivray's all singing.
Good luck to everyone who is going to the CFO Convention, if any rarities are found at public locations, please let us know.
