A walk around Manitou <http://www.coloradocountybirding.com/county/bird_a_county.php?name=Teller#7 25> Lake (fee - $5) today at noon found many Tyrannus kingbirds, which historically, we do not get up here outside of fall migration. Both western kingbirds and eastern kingbirds were in abundance flycatching over the beaver ponds.
In addition, my first (in 21 years) double-crested cormorant at Manitou Lake! Juvenal plumaged. Also, found a few lincoln's sparrows, apparently on the move. A few gray catbirds. Otherwise, the regular fanfare. At my home, north of Woodland Park, a green-tailed towhee continues to hang out in my shrubs and pond. Lots of broad-tailed and rufous hummers, occasional cassin's finch, evening grosbeaks, band-tailed pigeons, chipping sparrows, all three nuthatches, loads of imm juncos and the usual.
