[cobirds] FOS Blue Grosbeak and Common Nighthawk in Canon City, Olive-sided Flycatcher & Mississippi Kite in Otero Co

Yesterday I saw my first of the season Blue Grosbeak, actually one male in each of two locations in the Canon City area.  This evening I heard my first of the season Common Nighthawk call.  That is late for both of these species.  I have not seen an empid one though I may have a heard one call late today.  I did see my first of the season Olive-sided Flycatcher when I traveled to the lower Arkansas Valley last Friday, surprisingly in the limited 'forest' edge around Lake Holbrook.  I have uploaded photos to my Birds and Nature blog of the Olive-sided Flycatcher as well as a Mississippi Kite I also found in a tree in La Junta on that trip.
