The pair of Lucy's at Gatewood Cottonwoods were still present yesterday. From 141 turn northwest on 4 1/10 Rd. Go 1 mile to an access road on the right with a small brown marker (stake) noting allowed types of vehicles. This is Gateway Cottonwoods. The Lucy's were primarily seen in a tree that overhangs this access road just a very short ways down this road fairly close to a wooden tee-pee made out of branches that you can't miss and before the road comes to what looks like an open area used for parking/camping that has a rock firepit. The male was singing frequently, making him easy to locate.
-- As Joe rightly noted, these birds are breeding here, out of their normal range, and this is a first Mesa County record of breeding Lucy's, so please avoid playing songs or calls, pishing, or anything else that would cause disturbance to their breeding. Good luck!
