On Friday, May 15, I stopped briefly at Last Chance, CO. while on my way to another destination. Thought I'd see more variety and not much was there. Two Orchard Orioles[1, ad. male, and 1, first year male], were a pretty sight. 1, Northern Waterthrush, was at the edge of the sunken pond. One

I made a quick stop at Last Chance today [at the intersection of highway 71 and highway 36]. It was pretty, pretty, slow, with gale force winds. This I'm sure added to the situation. 1, immature Swamp Sparrow. This bird acted as if I was not even there. The experience was not a fleeting

Birders, I got to spend about 45 min at Last Chance this morning before joining the car club at High Plains Raceway. There is quite a bit of water in the pond and near the bridge. The best bird was a Barn Owl, being harassed by just about everything. Also: Hermit Thrush Veery Swainson's
