Ash-throated Flycatcher - Arapahoe County

[Cathy Sheeter]

As many of you know I have moved to New Jersey for a couple of years for an artist residency, but am back in CO for a few days. I will not have much time to bird, but had a couple of hours today to take a quick look around.

Best bird in this quick jaunt was a very fresh and bright Ash-throated Flycatcher along CR 22 (called E. Yale Ave. on Google Maps) west of Watkins Rd. (east of Aurora.) It was quite cooperative staying right along the fence line both times I saw it. Seven Loggerhead Shrike a nice bonus along that road too. Photos available in a few days after I get home.

Good birding!
