[cobirds] Gun Club Road at DIA. Ash-throated Flycatcher - Denver County

Exploring rural portions of Denver County (i.e., the farmland area surrounding DIA) today, Judy Henderson, Jeff Dawson and I were fortunate enough to find an Ash-throated Flycatcher on Gun Club Road, where it crosses Third Creek, approximately 2 miles south of its intersection with E. 112th Ave.  The bird, only the second reported from Denver, was photographed extensively by Judy as it foraged in Scotch Thistle on the east side of the road.
Nearly as rare, for July at least, were a Sage Thrasher and a Cassin's Kingbird found along Hudson Road on the east side of the airport.
