[cobirds] West Slope Sept 26th

The Thick-billed Kingbird was still calling a lot and hanging out near Mack, Mesa County yesterday (26 September) at the usual location, from around 9-11am (it was nice to see a few familiar faces), and it sounds like it's still around later too.  It seems to be hanging around the house, we could see it with the scope well, sitting on branches in the cottonwoods, it never came close to the road when I was there.  Thanks to everyone for continuingly updating sightings about this major Colorado rarity.  It was fun to see this species in Colorado, after looking all morning back in 1992 at Waterton Canyon, for the one there the afternoon before.

Another highlight, were found juvenile Sabine's Gulls at the Rifle Airport ponds along I-70 in Garfield County.  The fall colors around Aspen and Independence Pass were very nice on the way back.  Be alert to delays for road work in Aspen though.
