visit to our nets. I thought they might be all gone. I have not heard or 
seen any Bullock's Orioles lately which are early migrants as well. Eleven 
bird species were captured.

Wilson's Warbler -10
Western Flycatcher -1
Dusky Flycatcher -2
Western Wood-Pewee -7
House Wren -1

The Chico Basin Ranch Banding Station is operated Monday - Saturday through 
September 29th. Depending on the weather, banding will conclude around 
11:30 AM. Come visit the Ranch to see what is migrating through the area 
and stop by the banding station.

[cobirds] Common Nighthawks - Arapahoe

[Jared Del Rosso]

The last two late afternoons / early evenings (approx. 6:30 - 7:00 PM) have 
brought flights of Common Nighthawks over my Centennial home and 
neighborhood. Some appear migrating southward; others appear to be feeding 
in the neighborhood. 

Two nights ago, I saw about 20 of the birds, in two separate flocks: one of 
about six and one of about a dozen, give or take. I relocated about four of 
the birds feeding fairly low over side roads near the High Line Canal 
Trail. 

Last night, it was just three or four birds flying eastish. 

For metro area birders hoping to spot these birds before they leave the 
state, most of my sightings this summer have been 30-90 minutes before 
sunset, confounding our sense of them as dawn / dusk birds. I've seen a 
single crepuscular bird -- flying away from me, as I biked the High Line 
Canal Trail a few weeks ago. 

Unrelated -- yesterday evening, a little before sunset, agastaches were 
filled with White-lined Sphinx moths (about a half dozen) and two 
hummingbirds who seemed to do the impossible: tolerate each other as they 
fed in a single plant. It was quite remarkable. Some of the moths will make 
these absurd, wide looping flights around the plants and me when I "flush" 
them from their feeding activity.
