I birded below the CU stadium and Rec Center between 1:30 and 2:30 this afternoon and was amazed at the number of Western Tanagers! There were DOZENS. A Swainson's Thrush was softly singing in the thick vegetation where the path starts up the hill below the stadium. Several other Swainson's(?) thrushes were softly calling to each other in the thickets below the Rec. Center. A female Yellowthroat was incessantly chipping in the bushes by the bridge and a silent wood-pewee flitted in the tree tops. I heard the Warbling Vireo singing in trees on the hillside below the stadium but I do not know how to i.d. the eastern vs. western race.
Many territorial Yellow Warblers were singing and others were chipping in the trees. I did not see Walter's mystery warbler and missed the No. Waterthrush...and probably other birds.
