Correction, I meant to Mark and not Matt, sorry about that. Typos are more common when you are tired. Sorry again,
Brian

Today I made the drive from Englewood to Chico Basin to see what I could find. I started at the Banding Station when I stopped for the outhouse and met Dan (I can't remember his last name) and his group. I found a few birds but only had 17 on my check list (even the banding station was going slow at that time) and felling disappointed headed down to the HQ to sign in.
Here I met no disappointment.In all I had 43 birds and had the pleasure to tag along with Art, Matt and David. We found three vireos, Plumbus, Warbling and Cassin's, all in the same grove! I also found two Swamp Sparrows skulking around the pond near the ranch house but could not refined them latter. In addition I saw nine warblers, the high lite being a Northern Parula, a lifer.
Dan and his group helped me find a female rose-breasted grosbeak, my 300th Colorado bird and a lifer. Another good highlit was Art Mat and David helping me get a great view of both a Virginia Rail and a Sora. Most common birds, Lincolns Sparrow and Western Wood-pewee. Thanks to Dan, Art, Matt, and David for helping find various birds. It was a great day at Chico.
Here are my checklists
