[cobirds] Ted's Prediction Came True

[Larry Semo]

Hello all,

 

As Ted Floyd prognosticated this early morning that there would be a
fall-out of migrant passerines across the Front Range, I can certainly
inform everyone that he was spot on, at least in Broomfield that is.  As
the rain was letting up at my office in Interlocken this morning, a
Western Wood-Pewee flitted about.  Once I had the opportunity to get out
of the office for a bit, I walked this very short drainage along my
office and had birds galore.  Later in the day, Doug Faulkner and Brad
Steger observed many birds as well along this approximately 300 yard
long drainage.  Following is a list of birds we had that do not breed in
the vicinity of our office:

 

Olive-sided Flycatcher

Western Wood-Pewee (6-8)

Cedar Waxwing

Yellow Warbler (5-6)

Townsend's Warbler 

BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER

Wilson's Warbler (24)

MacGillivray's Warbler

Black-headed Grosbeak

Western Tanager (2)

Lark Sparrow (2)

Brewer's Sparrow (some).

 

I hope others were able to get out today and enjoy the first big push of
grounded migrants this fall.
