Speaking of nighthawks
I was birding near Crow Valley with my son last week. A few nighthawks we’re
flying, we saw 2 still snoozing in trees and on a post, even just an hour
before sunset. We were hunting for a visual of some singing bird and once we

On Sunday, June 9, I also encountered a singing Grace’s Warbler in Spanish
Peaks SWA on my Cokedale breeding bird survey route. The bird I heard was
just south of the SWA headquarters buildings, no more than a mile northeast

Yellow-headed Blackbirds in the cat-tails on the East end of Harriman Lake

one of them when it was driven off its patch by one of the hundreds of
About a week ago in the evening near dusk, I was in the garden and about 10 or
