Eastern Colorado yesterday

[Norm Erthal]

Went out east primarily to look for sparrows.

Stopped first at Flagler. Fairly quiet below the dam. A couple of Virginia rails and marsh wrens still present. Water level is very low.

 

Bonny SWA

Wagon Wheel CG Almost no migrants. Best thing accomplished was giving a jump start to two fathers and their sons.

 

Walked around the ponds on the south side of the reservoir. A smattering of sparrows, white-crowned, Lincoln's and song.

 

Final stop was at Last Chance. The largest number of migrants of all my stops. Highlights were a late female blue grosbeak, Cassin's Kingbird and blue-gray gnatcatcher.
