Prothonotary warbler, Weld county

[Deborah Carstensen]

There was a prothonotary warbler in some willows near the campground in Crow Valley. It was working some willows directly south of camping spot 9 It was in the willows near the Barbed wire fence and the bench.
There is no water at the campground in the creek at all (there’s freshwater near the campground hosts site. ) I didn’t see any thrushes other than robins.
There were at least four, nighthawks here! Really good to see, I hadn’t seen them here for the last couple years I was here.
There were:
Northern mockingbird: 1
Western kingbirds: lot
Eastern kingbirds:2
Robins: lots
House wrens: more than lots
Yellow warblers; 2
Meadowlarks: 6
Red winged blackbird: 12
Female black headed grosbeak: 1
Western wood pewee: 3
Barn swallows: 2 building nest in picnic area
Blue jays:2
Catbird:1
Killdeer :1
