I found a number of first of the year (FOY) birds for Canon City along the Canon City Riverwalk today including a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak and possibly a female with him, but both were at the tip top of a 60+ ft tall cottonwood so could not get good view of her (or pics). FOY Lazuli Buntings were singing all along the Riverwalk up to a half mile east of the Sell's Lake trailhead. I heard at least 4-5 singing and did see and photograph one of them. FOY Western Tanagers, at least 5 males, were also along both trails going east from the Sell's Lake trailhead. The Black-chinned Hummingbird was still working on her nest above the parking lot.
I found at least a dozen Cedar Waxwings feeding on fruit in hackberry trees and tender shoots on other trees in Veteran's Park which is located along H50 in town. And I spotted a FOY male Bullock's Oriole on the west side of town high up in a cottonwood tree. I got pics of Lazuli Bunting, Western Tanager and Cedar Waxwing that I have uploaded to my Birds and Nature blog <http://birdsandnature.blogspot.com/>.
