DFO's 9/6 trip to the Ken Caryl and vicinity had a nice time afield. At open space areas of Ken Caryl Ranch (no public access, but check for upcoming DFO field trips as opportunities to visit) we had Common Poorwills calling before sunrise, 11 Rock Wrens in their favored hogback slope setting, accented with Sage Thrashers, Green-tailed Towhees, Vesper Sparrows, dueling Say's Phoebes and more. 2-3 Steller's Jays at the crest of the Dakota Hogback near Massey Draw were out of habitat and suggested some movement (maybe just local). A weedy, sunflower/willow patch near Massey Draw had a female Orchard Oriole amid lots of goldfinches and others. Other highlights were Eastern Kingbird, Red-naped Sapsucker, and Mountain Bluebird.
-- What was lacking for the morning was warblers (just 2-3 Wilson's and 2 Audubon's noted), Spizella sparrows (1 Clay-colored was all we had), flycatchers other than Say's, vireos, buntings (1), and tanagers (1).
