I watched a pair of Blue Grosbeaks today at Dixon Lake gleaning something
from a small elm (I think) near the gate at the north entrance. When I
looked at the leaves of the elm it seemed like at least 3 different
insects/diseases were making a mess of the leaves. So I'm not sure what
they were
I've had them every day since April 11th. Usually around 20, sometimes 40.
I'm in the Big Thompson canyon west of Loveland, East of Drake. Looks like
they are eating sunflower chips.

Another slow end of season day, banding only 8 birds (plus caught another 9
birds that had already been caught this year). Of note was our first of
season (finally!) Western Wood-Pewee - our average per year is about 10,
and we normally catch the first around the 5th of May. Flycatchers of all

I and a friend started birding at sunrise at Sawhill Ponds. I do a breeding
bird survey here every spring and wasn’t expecting to see any migrants.
South of pond 12 in the middle of the area at about 6:30 am, we were amazed
to hear a Veery sing three times!! We never saw it, but its song is
unmist
