Hey, all.
Looks like red-necked phalaropes have been *the* story of the ongoing
weather event here in Colorado.
Hannah Floyd and I thought our 21 *red-necked phalaropes* this Sat.
morning, May 21, at Lagerman Reservoir, Boulder Co., were nifty, but now
we're seeing the reports of 100+ at various
Birders,
The Phillips family has requested that birders *not* visit the ranch
tomorrow (Sunday).
The roads are in bad shape due to the precipitation (vehicles are mostly
going sideways) , and they 'd like to keep them from getting worse.
It's also begun snowing again out there.

We wentout this afternoon to see what the snow brought, and on our Willow
Lake Drive, saw all three bluebird species. The Eastern, a stunning male, flew
along the road between the first & second turns. Plus 3 Westerns & 3 Mountains.
After observing it on the fence, we didn't see it again,
At least 3 flying among the swallows

After an uncommonly quiet spring migration thusfar in Denver City Park, the
weekend snowstorm stirred things up a little.
Saturday morning found at least 60 Violet-green Swallows fluttering low and
slow over the surface of Duck Lake, catching breakfast. The most of those
there in previous memory
The Philadelphia Vireo was just at
38.270420,-104.708361
in the trees along the road east of the fishing pond between Rock Canyon
and the Osprey Picnic area. It's very gray, but singing it's head off
(slowly).
The pair(!) of Red-headed Woodpeckers are currently along the road just as
you enter
It’s not every day in May that you wake up to piles of snow everywhere, but I
was excited at the avian possibilities.
I began at Belmar Park, which yielded no rarities but several birds that I
don’t see every day but always bring me joy: American Avocet, Black-Crowned
Night Heron, Cinnamon
FOS = First of Season for returning migrants

DFO’s trip to Chatfield did not encounter a landbird fall out, except swallows,
but we did find flocks of Red-necked Phalaropes at the marina sandspit totaling
an estimated 500 birds. Very impressive.
