Hi Everyone, I poked around Crow Valley Campground this morning 5/22. Lots of
thrushes around, including 5 Veeries. A female Tennessee Warbler was at the
east end. An Orchard Oriole was in scrub south of the group camp. A Least
Flycatcher was at the southwest corner. Trees are slow to leaf out
Total of 41 species at Crow Valley (and nearby Briggsdale) yesterday.
Highlight was the constant overpass of cranes. I tallied it at 900, but there
could have been a few hundred more. After a while, the sound of small flocks
becomes background noise, despite my intent to try and count each

yesterday, May 7th, so I'll go. I didn't arrive until late morning, but
activity was decent. I first spent some time near the Education Site. A

Dan, Scott, Brenda, and I separately ended up at Crow Valley CG today, joined
forces, and spent a good chunk of the morning together. Around 8am Dan had
spotted the White-eyed Vireo in the southwest corner juniper clump and escorted
the rest of us down there. Unfortunately, we didn't get
Since I posted from the field, I thought I should send a follow-up post
regarding Crow Valley. The campground was fairly birdy in both the northwest
and southwest parts of the park. The first bird I saw was the continuing
Red-bellied Woodpecker. In the NW part of the park, I ran into a flock
To echo Glen Walbek, Crow Valley was special today. It was one of the best
days I can remember in this special area. The frustrating part was not being
able to bird the other side of the park due to the high water flowing in this
area. The highlight was seeing the female KENTUCKY WARBLER and

Crow Valley remains productive and numerous birders saw a plethora of migrants
that have been seen in the last week. The water in the normally dry creek is
running at 1 - 1.5 ft high in most places so bring hip waders if you plan on
viewing both sides of the riparian area.
Hello, Birders.
Mike San Miguel, Jr., visiting from California, was at Crow Valley Campground,
Weld County, earlier today, Tuesday, May 6th. He found 8 warbler species there,
including a male Chestnut-sided Warbler and a male Hooded Warbler.

I was at the campground Saturday afternoon. The creek is still flowing strongly
and you would need at least hip boots to get across at the shallowest spots.
There wasn't much in the way of bird activity but the wildlife highlight of the
day was seeing a beaver in the creek! I was walking along
The stream through the campground is full of water! It is at bank level.
You will need waterproof boots to cross into the southside of the stream.
With that--DUCKS in Crow Valley! Had a pair of Mallard and Green-winged
Teal. 11 total species (30-40 American Goldfinch).
No Mountain Plover

Ken Ecton and I decided to check out Crow Valley Campground (Weld) this morning
and early afternoon. We ran into Carol and Ruth. The four of us decided the
campground itself was fairly quiet, with a decent bird here and there, but
unanimously felt the northwest corner was nothing short of a

Hello, Birders.
Kei, Hannah, and Andrew and I saw and heard a second-calendar-year Summer
