Jefferson, Douglas, Arapahoe Encounters...

[Jared Del Rosso]

Today -- On a dog walk along the High Line Canal in Greenwood Village / Centennial today (Arapahoe), I heard a Cordilleran Flycatcher at a location where they've seemed to nest since at least 2018.

Last night -- At Daniels Park (Douglas County), I heard at least one, probably two Common Poorwills. It was around 9:00ish. 

Sunday - At Beaver Ranch (Jefferson County), Evening Grosbeaks are singing and calling from everywhere. I'd only previously encountered this species one time, a lone male up in Estes Park. So it's fun to see and hear multiple. 

Not yet -- Common Nighthawks in Centennial (for me). This is later than I usually encounter one; however, I haven't been as diligent this year -- having had some wonderful encounters with them in New York state in mid-May following a Mayfly hatch and having too many Nuggets and Celtics games to watch through dusk.
