Nathan Pieplow <[email protected]>: Sep 03 10:48AM -0600 Thanks to Bob Righter for his kind words about the *Peterson Field Guide to Bird Sounds*. The correct link to the website is: _http://petersonbirdsounds.com_ (http://petersonbirdsounds.com/) No purchase of the book is necessary to listen to the 5,500 sounds on the website! The geographic area covered by the eastern volume extends west only to about I-25, but I am hard at work on the western volume right now.

Went to Blind Lake (no fish) and it was a healthy climb. I saw my first Townsend's Warbler of the year. Another bird I don't see very often is Golden-crowned Kinglet and it was there with many Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Dipper, Yellow-rumped warbler, Junco, Thrush spp, and Hairy Woodpecker rounded out the day.
