[cobirds] Re: Chico Basin Ranch, El Paso/Pueblo Cos. 5/20
I forgot a couple of other noteworthy birds from today. At the Headquarters, there was a singing White-winged Dove, and at the banding station, Nick Moore found a first for Chico Basin Ranch of White-throated Swift. A single bird flying over with swallows just before 11:50am this morning. All of us were able to photograph it. According to Bill Maynard, this is 333rd species of bird for Chico Basin Ranch and first new bird this year so far!

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler update
Birders, First, I'd like to thank Mark Peterson for posting my morning report of a male Blackburnian Warbler at Van's Grove on Road JJ 1 1/2 miles east of Road 16. Although I saw it twice this morning, it eluded two parties that looked for a short while. How a tiny bird that prefers hiding in dense leaf clusters in the canopy can be hard to spot is beyond me! I did hear it sing three times this morning, a huge clue to locating it. I misplaced the rain guard for my binoculars while at Van's Grove this morning, and returned to look for (and successfully find) them at 2 p.m. Naturally, the Blackburnian Warbler was easily detected, this time by listening for the high, almost inaudible call notes. A few other species were present that may be of local interest. This morning, two Willow Flycatchers called back and forth. This afternoon, a male Indigo Bunting and a male hybrid Indigo x Lazuli Bunting were present. We'll, it's back to the old salt mine for me. I did see my first Least Tern of the year at John Martin Reservoir this morning, the latest return date in over 20 years of monitoring this species.
