When going to Fleming this afternoon to pick up a puppy, I spent about 45
minutes at a ranch area with many cottonwood trees outside of town. Nothing
out of the expected, but it was wonderful to see a loud pair of nesting Red
Headed Woodpeckers, several very visible roosting Nighthawks (I thoug
The Western Gull was last seen Sunday shortly after 8PM lying on the swim beach

It was a great birding day in Huerfano County. Starting with the
Yellow-billed Cuckoo returning to be photographed. After a quick breakfast
we headed up to Spring Creek Trail head just above Cuchara, to search for
our nemesis bird of the moment...Golden-crowned Kinglet. While on the way
up we spot
Tammy and I were awakened by a singing Hooded warbler this morning in the
Aberdeen section of Pueblo east of City Park. It sang from tall trees around
our house. I managed to get a brief glimpse of it. The rest of the time it
was just a loud voice. We did some early atlasing in a block west of Beul
A quick walk around Welchester Tree Park (8th Ave. West of Simms) this
evening around 6:00 produced very little but the usual suspects, but
there was a broad-winged hawk working the west end of the park. And if
you are fond of the sound of magpies squabbling, this is the place for

Birders,
I found 3 singing CASSIN'S SPARROWS along the Lefthand Trail yesterday, 6-4-11.

end. Listen to the West. Some may remember that thi

Birders,
The Western Gull continues at Chatfield as of 4 pm today.
Tammy hadn't seen it yet so after Barr Lake (nothing unusual) we went to
Chatfield and with all the people there getting that shoulder to shoulder
quality recreational experience I was sure the gull wouldn't be at the swim
beach
This morning Theresa & I had 3 singing Ovenbirds along the 5.5-mile Mountain
Top Loop Trail at Spruce Mountain Open Space. I predicted we would find at
least one, given the time of year & that the habitat looked good, but I'm not
sure this was previously a known breeding spot for the species. A
