JACKSON COUNTY:
---On July 24 Brad Steger reported a Great Egret at 18 Island Reservoir off US34 about midway between Walden and Muddy Pass/Rabbit Ears Pass.
JEFFERSON COUNTY:
---On the morning of July 23 a cooperative male Painted Bunting was found by Claire H. at the Chatfield State Park Audubon Center feeders. It continues to appear off and on thru July 29, making it perhaps the most-viewed individual of its species ever in Colorado. If the feeders are down in early morning or in the evening, be sure to check for the bird in trees, shrubs and on the ground in vicinity of feeder poles. On July 28 one specific area where it occurred was the area west of the southernmost of the two buildings, including the bench where mixed seed that included millet, apparently its favorite, had been placed. Thank you for updates posted to COBIRDS, including those about its feeding habits.
OTERO COUNTY:
---On July 23 a male Painted Bunting and adult Black-throated Sparrow were reported as "continuing" along Higbee Valley Road (Otero Road 804) by Kevin Keirn. No details on the locations of these birds were provided but presumably these were along the Higbee Valley Road from the cemetery continuing southwest to the end of the road a couple miles hence. Also seen along this road, famous for its Zone-tailed Hawk(s) last summer, were Summer Tanager, Ladder-backed Woodpecker, Mississippi Kites and Ash-throated Flycatcher. The turnoff from SR109 onto Higbee Valley Road is about 12 miles south of LaJunta.
---On the morning of July 27 a yellow (f or imm) Hepatic Tanager was photographed in a cone-laden juniper in Picketwire Canyon (37°39'18.5"N 103°34'04.2"W) south of LaJunta by Steve Mlodinow. Also seen or heard in this area were Black-throated Sparrow, Summer Tanager and White-throated Swift.
OURAY COUNTY:
---On July 27 an adult White-winged Dove was reported from Dennis Weaver Park (yes, THAT Dennis Weaver) in the town of Ouray by David and Susan Disher.
