| David Suddjian <dsuddjian@gmail.com>: Oct 04 11:17AM -0600 Four juvenile Sabine's Gulls flew south over Littleton Cemetery this morning. It was quite a surprise to see them, as I looked up from the Spizella sparrow flock at passing shadows and saw these pretty gulls passing low over the trees. Back home this morning at Ken Caryl Valley there were flocks of Mountain Bluebirds flying over. These were the first I had seen around my home this season. I always enjoy their calls as they pass over. David Suddjian Ken Caryl Valley Littleton, Co Sent from my iPhone |
| Jared Del Rosso <jared.delrosso@gmail.com>: Oct 04 09:01AM -0700 *Yesterday, nighthawk.* Since moving to Centennial (western Arapahoe County) in 2016, I often see one late Common Nighthawk in October. - 10/10/2016 - deKoevend Park - 10/3/2019 - near deKoevend Park - 10/5 - 10/6/2020 - Willow Spring Open Space This year, it's possible my wife saw that lone late migrant. I was inside yesterday (10/3) and otherwise occupied, while she was watching clouds around 5:30ish. She said she saw one flying southward. She's not a birder, but has had enough opportunities to see, look at photos, and talk about this bird, owing to my pre-occupation with them (explained *here <https://www.humansandnature.org/the-nighthawk-s-trajectory>*, in a blog I posted last year with the Center for Humans and Nature). She id'd them by shape and by those diagnostic white marks under their wings. Usually, I wish the last migrant well, on behalf of the entire species' southward journey. This year, I was 15 minutes late to that and the bird was already out of sight. Perhaps I'll see another one yet this fall. If not, perhaps this one took my goodbye with it. *Today, junco* My first of season Dark-eyed Junco appeared in my yard today. It must have been an Oregon, for it took me a moment to be sure it wasn't a towhee, with that dark-colored head (from a distance, without binoculars). But no, by size and sound, a junco indeed. - Jared Del Rosso Centennial, CO |
| Scott Somershoe <ssomershoe@gmail.com>: Oct 04 08:09AM -0600 Right now I have a flock of at least 5 chestnut collared longspurs on Chatfield dam where the pavement turns to gravel at the roundabout. Not even a green big year bird! Scott Somershoe Littleton CO Sent from my iPhone |
| David Dowell <dave1wx@gmail.com>: Oct 04 06:50AM -0700 'Tis the season for Sprague's Pipits. On Saturday (October 2), I found that Pipit Hill (north of Hale in the South Republican Wildlife Easement) is now behind a fence that was built within the past year. Although most of the fences in the area have signs describing the property behind the fence, this fence had no signs. There were two gates, each closed with a chain but not locked. Are birders allowed to access Pipit Hill? If you happen to have information about the status of Pipit Hill, or know who we might contact regarding the status, please share with the group. Thanks. David Dowell Longmont, CO |
