Evening Grosbeak, Black Phoebes and migrating Franklin's Gulls in Canon City

[SeEttaM .]

On Thursday I found a single Evening Grosbeak across the river from the Canon City Riverwalk about a mile east of the Sell's Lake trailhead.  I also found  a Black Phoebe in that same area and believe I heard a second Black Phoebe nearby.   As I walked down the bluff trail of the Riverwalk I found a flock of about 25 more Evening Grosbeak in the trees high up the bluff, likely they had been at feeders in residences nearby. 

Earlier tonight I heard the distinctive call of a flock of Franklin's Gulls from my deck and located about 50 of them flying on the south side of Canon City.  Then near dark I relocated the Black Phoebe that I previously posted that I had found just east of the 9th Street bridge.  Spring is starting to swing.
