The riparian strip along the irrigation ditch behind my house is usually very quiet, so when the birds are hopping, it suggests a fallout. The main species present this morning were Wilson's Warblers (20 or so), Western Wood-Pewee (4), and vireos (3 species including Red-eyed, Warbling and

Hi COBirders, After four busy days we kind of expected a drop in numbers today. With the new front, a lot of wind, and a little moisture, we did have a turnover in birds. Early on we had lots of Wilson's Warblers, and several Swainson's THRUSHES, and FOS Hermit Thrush and Townsend's Solitaire.

Went out for a little bit at 10pm to see what I might hear since there is a low cloud deck (pretty hard to come by in CO overnight this time of year) and the low-level winds are out of the northish direction.  The scattered showers are making things a little more concentrated I am guessing.
