To continue Beth Partin’s observation, we arrived at Chatfield at about 1:15 and took up watch. We heard the Plumbeous vireo sing in the trees before the bare spot when we were on the way to the nest site, but never definitely heard or saw the Yellow-throated. We also watched the Western Wood-Pewee raid the cup shaped nest, without interruption by any other bird, and take nesting material to its own nest nearby, settling in for a few moments after each effort. In the area, in addition to the Pewee, we found nesting Least Flycatcher, House Wren and Broad-tailed Hummingbird. At about 2:45, we heard the Plumbeous sing in trees fairly to the west of the nest site.
Sorry about the oddity of our Black-chinned sparrow posting while in Grand Junction earlier this week. Somehow it refused to go through on this site, but can be read directly on the www.cfo-link.org.
