[cobirds] Ovenbird at Tempel Grove, Bent County

Birders,

On a day when migration was decidedly "off", Norma Verhoeff and I found
an Ovenbird below the Melody Tempel Bench at Tempel Grove, Bent County,
CO. This site provides a calm oasis during the opening weekend of the
dove season in SE Colorado. I'll second Dave Leatherman's warning that
it's high chigger season at Lamar Community College, and only the unwise
will enter there without applying lots of DEET. I tried to go to Van's
Grove today, and two dove parties are currently camping in the middle of
the grove. While Hasty Campground doesn't allow hunting, it is full to
capacity with campers, as are all sites at Overlook Campground on the
north side of John Martin Reservoir. Water levels there are so high that
there are no migrant shorebirds.
