Black and Eastern Phoebes, Boulder Co.

[ge...@ucar.edu]

All,

I stopped at the 75th Street bridge over Boulder Creek at 9:15 this
morning. The first bird I saw on the west side of the bridge was a Black
Phoebe, and the second was an Eastern Phoebe, both searching for insects
just above the creek. Subsequently, I went to the Hwy 287 bridge and the
109th Street pond and did not see a Black Phoebe there. So, perhaps it is
the same bird seen previously in the latter area that has moved a couple
of miles upstream.

Cheers, Peter Gent.
