On a bike ride through Louisville this morning, I had a FOS singing
Bullock's Oriole in Warembourg Open Space north of Cherry St. Also present

Notable was a complete lack of warblers along a riparian area (Coal Creek).

Hi, COBirders~
On April 30, I heard the familiar chatter of Chimney Swifts over my house as I
was leaving for a morning walk. I had a visual on two of them, and now 2 days
later, I have heard more chatter overhead. So comforting to hear them back!

of them live below 8,000 feet in Colorado.
I think that if they are in Hinsdale, they would be along the Piedra River,
which is the low
point of
