[cobirds] Centennial Birds (Arapahoe)

An earlyish Green-tailed Towhee in my Centennial yard this morning, along with a yard first Eastern Kingbird. I don't come upon the latter all that often in Centennial, so this was a real treat. A flock of a dozen Cedar Waxwing swung through this afternoon. A Mountain Chickadee first appeared on 8/23 and was around today, too.

Lark Buntings and Vesper Sparrows at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens (8/28). Chipping, too, of course. 

Common Nighthawks have been gone (to me) since 8/25, punctuating almost nightly sightings of flocks of the bird, usually feeding, since August 1. I'm sure other migrating birds will pass by before too long. 

Over the past week, the local Swainson's Hawk family is circling overhead, perching on wires, and screeching, dramatically and loudly, all morning long. They've buzzed our yard a few times, often pursued by the local Blue Jay family (also screeching all morning long).
