COBirders,
Brandon Percival just called at 7:35 A.M. He is looking at, and trying
to photograph, a calling Acadian Flycatcher in Van's Grove in Bent
County.
Consult the CFO county birding guide for directions.
If accepted, this species will become the first Colorado State Record.

This morning, not long after 7 a.m., I had a White-eyed Vireo at Sondermann
Park in Colorado Springs. I saw it well, and it was actively calling, in the
dense thickets near where the Lilac and Mesa Valley Connection Trails meet.
A White-eyed Vireo was previously found in this location in May of
Sorry for the late post, got in late last night and crashed.
Overall the migrants were thin (e g. Van's Grove, where Brandon is
chasing a potential Acadian Flycatcher this morning, was silent
yesterday - only a single Swainson's Thrush in there). Here are
highlights:

Sunday, May 10, at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife

Yesterday I reported seeing what I was thinking was a young-of-the-year
Swainson's Hawk out on its own at Crow Valley. In the Clark and Wheeler hawk
field guide the authors state (photo and caption on page 199 in my second
edition) many young birds arriving back on the breeding grounds for thei

Much slower birding this morning as compared with yesterday. Still

I saw a Palm Warbler at two locations below the dam this morning. I first
saw one was on the railing of the walking trail bridge over the Big
Thompson river. It soon went down and began working along the rocks next to
the river. About thirty minutes later I saw a Palm Warbler in the willows

they were all Mountain race. Today was also another "big bird day".
Only one warbler banded (MacGillivray's, m), and only one thrush

I was at this spot in the afternoon/evening (4:30-6PM) on Monday May
11th, and accidentally scared off a Green Heron from a small stagnant
pond just north of the bike trail, just west of where it intersects
with the trail leading to the Mason / Cherry parking lot. The Green
Heron flew low towards
Hi Cobirders
I have posted my Black-throated Blue Warbler Photo from Chico Basin Ranch on
the surfbirds North American Common & Scarce gallery. It has been great having
