Yesterday I found an apparent second pair of Black Phoebes along the Arkansas River near the MacKenzie Ave bridge. This is a location where this species has nested for some years. They can often be seen from the bridge on MacKenzie Ave but do be very careful as there is a lot of traffic here and many are speeding.
Today I found a single Black Phoebe on private property where there has been historic nesting.
Also today I observed a Black Phoebe gathering and bringing vegetation and mud to a site I have suspected as a nest site but was unable to confirm in previous years. I got photos of her and her mate who stayed nearby including one with her in flight carrying nesting material. I have uploaded these to my Birds and Nature blog.
There are a few Turkey Vultures nesting in Canon City.
