On Sept 14 a male Nashville Warbler was with a mixed Warbler flock (also Wilson's, Orange-crowned, Yellow, and Common Yellowthroat) at Massey Draw beside my home in Ken Caryl Valley. In my yard I also had a Rock Wren stop in at a rocky area in the front, a Townsend's Warbler, and the first Brown Creeper and Cedar Waxwings I've had near my home in quite a while.
-- On Sept 15 I began at Chatfield SP near dawn, hoping for a Sabine's or some such. But not. The marina sand spit had a female American Redstart in the willow clumps out towards the tip. The Platte delta area had a Chimney Swift flying south through Barn Swallows, a Great Egret, and my first two American Wigeons in the park for this season. At these two stops the only shorebird I saw besides Killdeer was a Spotted Sandpiper at the marina tires.
Massey Draw near my home had an Olive-sided Flycatcher and lot's of Lincoln's Sparrows, and a Sage Thrasher visited my yard.
At Hine Lake in Robert A. Easton Regional Park I saw six Chimney Swifts flying south during 25 minutes amid many southbound Barn Swallows, and a nice count of 11 Swainson's Hawks included a little kettle of 9.
On Sept 16 I had my first Dark-eyed Juncos (Pink-sided) in the yard since early spring.
Right now, Sept 17, a lovely Green-tailed Towhee is breakfasting at the front yard feeding station.
