Birders,
Since Dave Leatherman asked for my input about the habitat of the
Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher I found at Adobe Creek Reservoir in Bent
County in September 2002, I'll weigh in. The improbable habitat used by
that bird was stunted tamarisk (salt-cedar) trees along abandoned inlet
canals
John Bruder reported it was still present this morning.
Good birding,

Great discussion.
In the distant past, the name for Ferruginous Hawk was
"Ferruginous Rough-leg", because of its feathered tarsi,
a feature it shares with the "regular" Rough-legged Hawk.
I still call them "Ferruginous Rough-legs" to remind me
to look at the tarsi.
Or maybe because I seem stuck in
Buteos are never boring! Even our most common one, the Red-tailed, has
variation both subtle and dramatic for a lifetime of interest and wonder. I
have appreciated hearing everyone's perspectives on Dave's bird.
I wanted to note that a few weeks ago Chris Petrizzo and I saw a similar

I just came across the Ferruginous Rough-leg nomenclature this past
weekend - I just got a copy of Charles Aiken's Birds of El Paso County from
1911 and it was there - I should share more from it sometime - lots of name
changes and species divisions and lumps that are different from now.

Who was it that quipped on co-birds a few years back when noting hawk
variability, "It's a Red-tail until proven otherwise"?

Three days of birding in RMNP since September 5 is not a big sample but I
noticed an apparent lack of birds both quantity and variety. Everywhere we
went, we commented how quiet it seemed. I can only speculate that both the

The Connecticut Warbler was banded today at the Barr Lake Banding Station,
Adams County. As far as I know, it has not been refound today.
Here is my checklist, if you'd like to see some pictures.

A lovely day at the banding station! Banded 59 birds of 14 species,
including a Nashville Warbler, which is a relative rarity, and a
Connecticut Warbler, which is the first ever caught at Barr in the fall
(there is a record of one caught on 5/24/93).
We did a really fun one hour virtual progra
I had to run artwork up to Loveland today and was on I-25 heading north,
when between the Mead and Berthoud section of interstate, I had a large all
dark bird come right over the interstate not more than 25 feet high soaring
from west to east. At first glance my brain said Turkey Vulture, as it
