Hello, Birders. I had a bit of time this snowy Sunday afternoon, Apr. 13, so I made the quick jaunt over to South Teller Lake, Boulder County, where the snow was horizontal out of the north. Hard enough to see the lake, and even harder to see the birds, but there were many of them, including: 6 Wilson's Snipes bunched along the shore 2 Say's Phoebes making like swallows and searching in vain for insects amid the whitecaps 34 Tree Swallows, 3 Violent-green Swallows, 7 Bank Swallows, 6 Barn Swallows, and 18 Cliff Swallows (photo of the Cliff Swallows here: http://tinyurl.com/ndck5jw) 1 American Pipit walking around 3 Vesper Sparrows bopping around on the trail Then I retreated to Greenlee Preserve, ever-birdy. There I found 2 Franklin's Gulls, 2 Yellow-rumped Warblers, 2 Brown-headed Cowbirds, and ducks galore, including 3 Wood Ducks and 9 Blue-winged Teal. (By the way, back on Thursday, April 10th, when the weather was nicer, Greenlee had continuing Bushtits, a territorial Spotted Towhee, a Rubicon Kinglet, and a continuing Say's Phoebe.)
