Riverwalk. Though I spotted it a few times I could not get a photo of it.
Also Plumbeous Vireos on the Riverwalk as well as good numbers of other
neotropical migrants including many Yellow-rumped Warblers. Lazuli

Yesterday, my wife Lisa and I along with John Stump took a run at the big day

species in one day as possible within the San Luis Valley. The previous record

At Loloff reservoir, there are hundreds of phalarope and at least a couple

but I thought it would be a good place for people to catch up on
Just left Boulder Creek at 287 where we saw the Black Phoebe fly catching for
about 15 minutes. We were viewing across the creek from the southwest corner.

Hello, Birders.
Below are some birds I audio-recorded around Boulder County earlier today,
Saturday, 5/17.
1. A Northern Waterthrush singing its laser cannon song (thanks, Scott, for
that!) at Walden Ponds: http://www.xeno-canto.org/178475
2. A Gray Flycatcher actually singing at Walden Ponds,
Can someone explain where one might park to view this bird? Looking at the
area from google earth, it doesn't appear that there's any clear public
access to the area. Are people just parking along the highway roadside?
Thanks,
Eric

Last weekend's weather front brought lots of birds to the banding station at
Chico Basin Ranch (fee area). Numbers banded were up from last Saturday all
through this week. We were not open on Sunday or Monday due to high winds and
cold temperatures.

McMurry Natural Area in north Ft. Collins, Larimer, is pretty birdy right

Blackpoll Warbler and American Redstart within 50 feet of the parking
It was a long day of birding today, starting as the sun came up in Pueblo City

Birders,
With the Bent on Birding tour, I found an adult male Bay-breasted
Warbler this morning below Two Buttes Reservoir (Baca County). The
warbler was at the east end of the woods, east of the easternmost cliffs
on the north side of the road, about even with where the cliffs come
closest
Hi all,
In my yd. on 5/15 was 1, Veery, on 5/16, I had 1, Swainson's Thrush. Today in
the yd. were 2 m. Western Tanagers, and many Chipping Sparrows and
Yellow-rumped Warblers. I live in Jefferson County, in Littleton.
Marston Reservoir,[Denver County] on 5/15 and 5/16 had 6 Willets.
We were lucky to run into Duane at Lamar and later at Two Buttes. He let us
know about the Bay-breasted Warbler near where were at. Kay found it and was
eye to eye with the bird. We watched for about two minutes, lost the bird,
and re-found it for another thirty second Chamber of Commerce
Lots of birds at Manitou Lake and along Trout Creek lately as with
everywhere else in Colorado right now.
Had a dowitcher today that I believe to be Long-billed for 2 reasons: 1)
most likely dowitcher in spring migration in CO, and 2) a couple scapulars
with white fringe.

I have been monitoring the winds since before the Mother's Day Weekend
snowstorm on the web. It has been a great example of how to stop
migration. The snowstorm trucked through Colorado with the low pressure
center around the La Junta (approximated) then headed northeast. After
