Bird Conservancy of the Rockies (nee RMBO) held its 30th Birthday Celebration
-- at Barr Lake today.
On the guided bird walks there were several first of the season species, but my favorite
was a Swainson's Thrush, seen along path to the banding station. I checked eBird
to see where else in the state they were showing up so far this year in April but saw NO reports, although
some will likely occur today.
Bird was seen well nearby with several observers noting the prominent eyeing, buffy cheek patch and pattern
of breast spots. Hermit Thrush, the usual early thrush, was ruled out by the above features and lack of reddish tones
in the "non-dipping" tail.
Loads of swallows, a Yellow Warbler, many other migrants seen by others.
