[cobirds] Ovenbirds at Cheyenne Mountain State Park (El Paso County)


If Ovenbirds interest you, I counted around 20 of them singing this morning at Cheyenne Mountain State Park, particularly along the Cougar's Shadow trail but not exclusively there.  It is possible I double-counted a few of them that I heard farther off - if I heard them 1-2 minutes apart I counted them but it is possible that a few could've been repeat individuals.  

Some other birds I enjoyed hearing (and occasionally seeing some of them) were Hermit Thrushes, very exuberant Yellow-breasted Chat, so many Warbling Vireos, House Wrens, Spotted Towhees, Broad-tailed Hummingbirds and Black-headed Grosbeaks and several other species in smaller numbers as well.

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.
