Here are my highlights from Chico Basin Ranch (fee area) -- I birding alone from 630am to 8am, and it was quite birdy at that time.

I left before some people, so there may be more things to report by those people.

I ended with 13 species of warblers (12 on the El Paso County side, and 1 more on the Pueblo County side).

El Paso County (banding station and other wooded areas):

Black-billed Cuckoo - 1 seen/heard early in the morning, I don't think it was re-found, last seen flying south into the olives from the willow at the banding station.

Red-eyed Vireo - 1

Mourning Warbler - 1 male

Hooded Warbler - 1 female

Magnolia Warbler - 1 male

Black-throated Green Warbler - 1 female

Ovenbird - 2 (one singing)
