Uncle Van Truan (who is recently retired) and I found a few interesting migrants and other birds today in SE Colorado, in Kiowa, Prowers, and Bent Counties mostly.
We didn't have much luck with rarer mountain birds, though we did find single Mountain Chickadees in both Kiowa County and Bent County, two Woodhouse's Scrub-Jays in Bent County, a Golden-crowned Kinglet and Brown Creeper in Bent County, Pine Siskins in Kiowa, Bent, and Prowers Counties, Red-breasted Nuthatches in Kiowa and Bent, "Interior West" White-breasted Nuthatch in Bent County. Eastern bird highlights and other stuff: Blue-headed Vireo, "Western" Palm Warbler, juvenile Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Neotropic Cormorant all in Bent County. Eastern Phoebe, Chestnut-collared and McCown's Longspurs, juvenile Northern Shrike, in Kiowa County. Nashville Warbler, "eastern" White-breasted Nuthatch, Northern Cardinal, and a very yellow/green small empidonax in Prowers County. Sandhill Cranes were flying by in several locations. Brandon K.
