Re: [cobirds] Ovenbirds in Boulder County

If Ovenbirds in Boulder County interest you, I had at least one singing on the Fowler Trail by Eldorado Canyon, in the moist and dense area along the creek between the bridge past the canal from the Springbrook Trail and where the trail cuts over into Eldorado Canyon.  The habitat is similar to that at the top of the Skunk Canyon trail a little to the north, where I missed them last Saturday, but where they are regularly seen and heard.

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.
