Greetings All,
Today, a slow day at work and a beautiful day outdoors led to an early exit from work. I went to Estes Park (L Estes), and I found the golf course to be closed to golfers (or so one would assume given the 6 foot tall fences around the greens). Given the large number of strollers, I walked along the golf course side of the stream leading into the w. end of L Estes. In a small grove of birch (perhaps alder.. I must admit to not looking closely at the trees), I found the PROTHONOTARY. It pished in exceptionally close (6 feet or so) and seemed to be basically on its own (there was an Orange-crowned in the vicinity, but naught else). The bird was just w. of the last (easternmost) wooden bridge on the main trail that traverses the n. side of Lake Estes (and on the golf course side). Other migrants were fairly scarce with about 15 YR Warblers, 3 Wilson's, 2 Orange-crowneds, 5 Lincoln's Sparrows, and one RN Sapsucker. Good Birding Steven Mlodinow -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
