Scissor-tailed Flycatchers-not; Ladder-backed Woodpecker and Wilson's Warbler in Florence River Park

[SeEttaM .]

The female Scissor-tailed Flycatcher has not been reported since July 28 and now I have not seen nor heard of any reports of him since last Sunday when the landowner saw him near the nest site on their property south of Florence.  I found a photo I had taken of the female on July 28 sitting on the nest and have uploaded it to my Birds and Nature blog. 

Late report of a Ladder-backed Woodpecker I saw in Florence River Park last week.  This is only the second I have seen in riparian habitat though they are reported to use lowland riparian forests both in and south of the U.S.

And I saw my first of the season migrating Wilson's Warbler in Florence River Park yesterday. Have seen migrating Western Tanagers,one each, over the past week in Florence River Park, Canon City Riverwalk and Red Canyon Park. Landbird migration is on.

Photos of him and the Ladder-backed Woodpecker are also now up on my Birds and Nature blog.  Trying to catch up.
