[cobirds] Say’s Phoebe and Tree Swallows, Boulder County

CObirders,

I was with a group of ~12 birders this morning that hiked the White Rocks trail (trailhead is on Valmont Road between 75th and 95th Streets in Boulder County) north to the base of the White Rocks.  We were very surprised to have 4 early Tree Swallows fly over the group!  We wondered what they might be eating— later, we saw small "clouds" of gnats(?), the first I've noticed this year.

A Say's Phoebe was sitting on a mullein where we turned around just before the trail heads uphill!

It felt and sounded like spring!
