[cobirds] Migration at Chico Basin Ranch, Pueblo and El Paso Counties June 1st

Chico Basin Ranch closes for spring after the last open session 7am-1pm tomorrow.

Kara, Sam, I birded there today.  A few warblers were about today:
A male Blackpoll Warbler (which I had missed everywhere this spring), singing Northern Parula, singing American Redstart at Headquarters Willows -- Pueblo County, (plus a rattlesnake in the grass) and a another Northern Parula in the banding station Woods (El Paso County).  

Other late migrants that should be on their breeding grounds elsewhere, that we saw today: Wilson's Warbler, Audubon's Yellow-rumped Warbler, Olive-sided, Willow, and Western Flycatchers, Western Tanager, Lincoln's Sparrow, Swainson's Thrush, Plumbeous Vireo, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, 

Some late waterfowl continue as well: female Common Goldeneye and male Lesser Scaup.
