Hey birders. I decided to do my birdathon today despite the pittiful weather in much of the southwest. From 7:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. I birded (with the exception of 2 hrs. spent indoors on the internet) and produced some nice finds. 102 species were seen in this time frame.
Highlights were: Fruit Growers Reservoir - Glossy Ibis (1), Whimbrel (1),Red-necked Phalarope (~20) Trail along river that runs north/south from West Main St. in Montrose - VERY happening this morning with first sightings of the year of Western Pewees, MacGillivray's Warbler (1), American Redstart (1), Warbling Vireos, and Gray Catbirds. Black Canyon of the Gunnison (South Rim)- Clark's Nutcracker (new for my state list!). A single Virginia's Warbler and Dusky Flycatcher were seen/heard on the drive up. Since I arrived on April 11th I've accrued a state list of about 175 birds. I'd be over 200 if I could twitch all these birds around Denver I see posted! Good birding all, Andrew Keaveney Bio-Logic, Inc. Montrose, Colorado -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
