[cobirds] Crow Valley, Weld, warblers and vireos

Greetings All,

Glenn Walbek, Loch Kilpatrick and I headed out to Crow Valley this morning. Migrants were few, but we did find a female BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER, an AMERICAN REDSTART, 2 RED-EYED VIREOS, and a PLUMBEOUS VIREO. Also of note was a late migrant White-crowned Sparrow (Gambel's) and 2 Least Flycatchers

We also had 4 White-rumped Sandpipers and 3 Stilt Sandpipers at the Weld Co Rd 59 ponds se of Kersey.

Before meeting up with my esteemed colleagues, I stopped at the river side park at Fort Lupton, just n. of CO 52 on the west side of the river. There was an adult BROAD-WINGED HAWK.

At Barr Lake, I had a NORTHERN PARULA whilst Glenn and Loch were ogling the now-famous Chatfield vireo pair.

Union Reservoir has some shorebird habitat at the NW corner, and today there were 8 White-rumped Sandpipers and 2 Willets there

Good Birding
Steve Mlodinow
