were good ones! Today's 9 birds of 6 species included two that were
first-of-season birds.
Warbling Vireo 1 (FOS)
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1
Swainson's Thrush 1 (FOS)

Fittingly, the last day of what's been a warm and windy month was warm and

Hi all
The Weld CR 124 pond is drawing down and offers nice shorebird habitat--and
birds! Did not walk into Weld CR 122 (.5m west of Weld CR 75/122) but
suspect same conditions there. Weld CR 116 playa is full of water, no
shoreline and two shovelers.

Hooded warbler was seen in the thickets across the stream at 39.577202,
-104.982320.
It is off the gravel trail that goes from Mineral to the west on Lee Gulch
trail. About 50 yards in there is a dead tree with a limb that comes straight
out then goes straight up at a 90 degree angle.
