[cobirds] Yellow-throated Warbler continues in Pueblo 4/30

The singing male Yellow-throated Warbler, that Van Truan first found
on April 21st, continues to sing in Mineral Palace Park in Pueblo.
Today, it was in the southern part of the park, near the Main Street
Entrance. Other highlights in Pueblo County today, were Broad-winged
Hawk in north east part Pueblo City Park, single Gray Flycatchers in
my yard in Pueblo West, and in the Osprey Picnic Area in Rock Canyon,
below Pueblo Reservoir dam, and a Solitary Sandpiper at Lake Minnequa
in Pueblo. Lots of tree damage throughout Pueblo, from the heavy wet
snow.

[cobirds] First Creek at Denver Open Space - Denver County

DFO Trip - First Creek at Denver Open Space - Denver County
30 April 2017
DFO members warmed up for the upcoming big month by heading out for a five hour walk at First Creek. It started out cold, ended up windy, and in between there were over 50 species seen. Some of the highlights included Great Horned and Barn Owls, four Solitary Sandpipers, two Willets, three Least Sandpipers, and a Baird's Sandpiper. There was also a Mountain Bluebird and a Northern Mockingbird that Rebecca Laroche found for us. Raptors were pretty much anywhere you looked in the sky and all of the Horned Larks and several American Pipits kept things interesting. The funny thing is, this spot will be so much better in just a few weeks. There are still many species that haven't arrived yet.

[cobirds] Black-throated grey warbler still on Boulder Creek, Green Heron on the ponds near Foothills Parkway

Saw the posts about the Black-throated Grey Warbler and figured that would be a good spot to walk this morning. Starting from the Arapahoe bridge, the Dipper was hanging out under the bridge, and it stopped for a few minutes to groom, which allowed me to get some pretty good looks.  Heading up the path, I didn't see any large flocks of warblers, or much of anything else for awhile except a few robins and grackles.  When I was almost up to 30th, I turned around and walked back downstream.  I saw a few Black-Capped Chickadees in the trees, and then the Warbler was there.  After watching it for a few minutes, it disappeared into the trees again. 
Whiile I was there, I thought I would check the ponds that are close to Foothills Parkway.  No ducks to speak of, a few Canadian Geese, a Kingfisher and some swallows.  At the last pond, as I walked down towards it to get a  better look along the pond, a Green Heron flushed out of the reeds and flew towards the south end of the pond.  I walked down to that end after a little while, and it popped out of the reeds again and flew back to the north end of the pond, disappearing into the reeds again.  A Pied-Bill Grebe was diving in that pond as well.
Along the little creek that runs in that area were a few White-Crowned Sparrows, a few House Finches, and more Grackles and Red-Winged Blackbirds.

Good Birding -

[cobirds] Bluebirds on the move El Paso Co.

While outside for about an hour I had 4 different groups of bluebirds (about 15 total) flying overhead near the west side of Powers Blvd. Last 2 groups were Mountain BBs as I did not see any hint of orange on them. They are fighting a strong head wind today to head north.

[cobirds] Bird rehabilitator, Douglas County

I rescued a chipping sparrow from a road in our neighborhood. It can't fly but has no apparent injuries. Anybody know of a rehabber in the Denver area? Apologies if this is not the right forum for this question. I won't be able to care for the bird after a few days.
Thanks,

John Ealy
Roxborough Park, Douglas County
