[cobirds] Ash-throated Flycatcher, Larimer County
This morning I made a short stop at Arapaho Bend Natural Area in Fort Collins and saw several butterbutts (yellow-rumped warblers) and about 30 violet-green swallows flying catching insects. The great surprise was a new bird but a cooperative one so I could positively ID it, an ash-throated flycatcher. It was catching insects at the lower edge of the cottonwoods and I watched it scoop a large insect, maybe a grasshopper, into its beak and land. Dave, it was unmistakable with the size, color, and markings. Libby Edwards Fort Collins Colorado -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Ash-throated Flycatcher - Larimer County
The past few days, an Ash-throated Flycatcher has been checking out nest boxes near our house, just west of the South Bay area of Horsetooth Reservoir. A pair has nested nearby the past few years, so we'll watch to see if a mate shows up and they nest here again.
