This morning (Tuesday) I spotted a Northern Waterthrush at Sell's Lake then
a female American Redstart, a first of the year bird. There was another
push of Wilson's Warblers that have been absent for a few days.
Yellow-rumps still in good numbers.

Good afternoon, birders,
Given all of the action out in the Grasslands and down in Co Sprgs and Pueblo,
has anyone hit Bear Creek at all recently? Lair o'the Bear, etc.
I want to go do some fishing up there, but that won't be 'til afternoon. I was
wondering how the morning birds are showing?
One Black Swift flew over me while I conducted bird survey on Purdy Mesa
(just west of Grand Mesa) today! I remember Rich Levad said he never saw
one in Mesa County in all they years he spent birding there. Bird was low
over flooded pasture and flew right over me!
Fruitgrowers Reservoir was birdy
COBirders,

Warbler (sometimes singing) at the HQ Willows easily seen

Got a three-second look at what seemed to be a Myiarchus flycatcher while
leading a 3rd grade class around Bluff Lake today. After the students

space (go down the stairs and turn right) and quickly
To add to Glenn's report I had two Ash-throated Flycatchers, and a Magnolia
Warbler (also reported yesterday).

Today in the flooded area SE of Longmont I caught a flash of a small bird with
a red rump and bright green lower back, thats all I saw of it in the leaves
before it disappeared. I thought maybe a Summer tanager in first spring plumage
but is that likely? Any help identifying this bird
