[cobirds] Large numnber of Yellow-breasted Chats on Mesa Trail, Boulder County

Hiked a loop from the S Mesa trailhead up Big Bluestem this morning.  Nothing unexpected except I counted at least 25 Chats.  One of the reasons I like this particular loop is because it goes through several distinct habitats.  The Chats were everywhere except where it was predominantly Ponderosas at a slightly higher elevation.  Large numbers of Lazuli Buntings too.  Across the street in the "Magic Bushes" at the beginning of the Dowdy Draw trailhead, was an unexpected Olive-sided Flycatcher.
