[cobirds] Re: Canon City finds; Ash throated Flycatcher & Leucistic YRWA

For whatever it's worth, after several years of living in Ash-throated Flycatcher breeding territory in Fremont County, they usually seem to get back in the first few days of May.  Don't remember ever seeing one in April.  Fascinating discussion!

To add to Eric's great sightings, the Yellow-crowned Night-Heron was present at Sell's Pond both around 11:30 AM and 3:30 PM today.  Also, the northeast shore of Brush Hollow Reservoir had 43 Willets (eBird high count for Fremont County, speaking of Fremont County and eBird) and 2 Western Sandpipers.  10 Least Sandpipers were at Blue Heron Ponds.

Had a great day of birding down at Canon City today. We started off by finding the yellow-crown night-heron reported by Brandon Percival at Sell Pond. Highlights along the adjacent riverwalk were a western tanager, orange crowned warbler and what appears to be a partially leucistic yellow rumped warbler. After the riverwalk we went to Brush Hollow Reservoir. We found a pair of ash throated flycatchers on the west side of the lake, tucked into a canyon. Ebird listed them as rare so wanted to pass the info along should somebody want to see them.

I am adding pictures of both for reference.

PS - thanks to everyone who had posted updates on the yellow throated vireo!
