Continuing to observe new arrivals in the Estes Park ares, on my daily walk to get the newspaper and count birds, I always check a specific house with feeders along my route. Band-tailed Pigeons frequent these feeders when they are here in Estes Park. The first ones of the season arrived today. Checking eBird, the only other recorded sightings this season are in the Silverthorne area, Summit County to the south and west. Checking prior-year sightings in eBird, I found only one instance of Band-tailed Pigeons arriving in the Estes Park area before this date, and only two for the month of April.
I also had one Vesper Sparrow and one Brown-headed Cowbird. First reports in eBird for the Estes Park area this season but on time based on eBird reports from prior years.
