[cobirds] The Prophesy of Guarente, or, Migrants Galore Today in e. Boulder County

Hey, all.

Well, Bryan's prediction was spot-on for the Greenlee/Waneka/Hecla complex of eastern Boulder County. It was cool and cloudy this Sunday afternoon, Sept. 27, with new arrivals galore. Here's a summary:

* 2 ring-necked ducks and another Aythya, the first diving ducks there this season for me
* 2 gorgeous juvenile red-necked phalaropes

* 1 adult sharp-shinned hawk, first-of-season for me for the site

* 1 mountain chickadee

* 7 ruby-crowned kinglets, a high count

* 5 red-breasted nuthatches, also a high count

* 1 Townsend solitaire, first of season

* 1 hermit thrush, first of season

* 10 lesser goldfinches, some of which were probably arrivals overnight

* 10 chipping sparrows and a couple of Spizella spuhs

* 1 Oregon junco (with a tinge of pink-sided, it seemed)

* 12 white-crowned sparrows, all of them apparently gambelii

* 1 Lincoln sparrow

* 7 orange-crowned warblers

* 100+ Audubon warblers (didn't see any myrtles in the mix)

* 15+ Wilson warblers

* 2 Townsend warblers

* 1 candidate black-throated green x Townsend warbler

Thanks, Bryan, for the exhortation to get out and find stuff!
