Results: Nunn Guy Birding Classic/Weld

[The "Nunn Guy"]

Hi all

This past weekend on Saturday the "Classic" tallied 102 bird species within the area bounded by Weld CR 114 (North) x Windsor Lake (East) x Stewart's Pond (South) x Weld CR 59 Marsh (East).  I assumed Pawnee was muddy from storms so avoided that area but still got the "100"!

The eventful day was book-ended by Veery at start and Virginia's Warbler as last bird.

Identification Help:

• Ibis?:  Pic 1, Pic 2, Pic 3
  
• Flycatcher?:  Pic 1, Pic 2, Pic 3, Pic 4

Hi all

Had some replies from WhatBird.com forum indicating the "flycatcher" seen Saturday might be an Eastern Phoebe?

• "That's an Eastern Phoebe. The dark head, smudgy breast, and yellowish belly are good field marks for this bird"

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
