Folks,

 

Yesterday after working on the plains, I wandered up to Jumbo / Tamarack SWAs to look for northeast specialties and see if some of the recently reported migrants were hanging around.  At parking area 1 of Tamarack SWA on the west side of hwy 83, I briefly observed and briefly heard calling a Black-billed Cuckoo along with several Yellow-billed Cuckoos.  I mentioned this to Joey Kellner this morning and he and his group were able to refind and photograph the bird in the same location.  This is where the Eastern Wood-Pewee has been vocalizing now for a second straight year.

Today, I took my chances on the Grace's Warbler in Cheyenne Mountain SP and found him singing a bit south of the previously reported locations.  On my return trip I heard a singing Dickcissel in the grassy area(s) near the amphitheater.  Last year around this time, I  encountered signing Dickcissels in marginal Dickcissel habitat in the foothills of Douglas County.

Good Birding!
