[cobirds] Yard/patch birds - Franktown, Douglas

Yesterday and today we saw several species for the first time this year.
    May 3 -- Our yard/patch
Black-headed Grosbeak: showed up below our feeders where we see lots of Spotted Towhees. We heard it sing 2-3 times.                     Showed up again today, same place, same song.
Yellow Warbler: heard singing from the top of a big big cottonwood. Also heard along the Walker Trail today.
Ovenbird: heard singing sporadically -- 5-10 times. This morning, it sang in earnest -- every 30-60 seconds.

   May 4 -- On the Cherry Creek Trail south from Walker Road
Gray Catbird: singing
Yellow-breasted Chat: singing, if you can call it that
Brown Thrasher: singing and trying to stump us as to its identity.
Lark Sparrow: singing in two places.

Others: May 3: a flock of 20-30 Chipping Sparrows; Broad-tailed & Black-chinned Humm.
    May 4: 3 Western Kingbirds; two in a chase.
