SE CO 5/8

[Brandon Percival]

Jim Newell and I saw a first spring Townsend's Warbler (not too common in spring) at Lamar Community College grove in Prowers County, early this afternoon, before a Lamar thunderstorm began.  Finally a few different migrants today in Lamar area.  Saw my first Gray Catbirds, Blue Grosbeaks, and a Green-tailed Towhee for this spring in Colorado this morning.

So why are Magnolia Warblers and now Bay-breasted Warblers showing up in CO before 10 May, and why are there no Blackpoll Warblers yet?  Spring migration in Colorado is always a big guessing game!

Great CFO Convention, thanks to every one in charge of things!  Fun to see so many people in SE Colorado.
