Crow Valley Camp Ground, Weld County

[Ken & Christie Pals]

CoBirders,

My visit at Crow Valley today did not produce anything note worthy compared to earlier visits this week and last.  While I still saw about the same number of species,around 50, I did not have any new warblers. In fact I saw only Yellow, one Yellow-rumped and one Wilson's Warbler. I did see what appeared to be a hybrid male Baltimore/Bullock's Oriole.  Another birder photographed a male Baltimore Oriole and others saw a Summer Tanager.

My best birds for the area were probably the 11 White-faced Ibis, 1 Great-tailed Grackle, 1 Cinnamon Teal and 1 Blue-winged Teal.  Everything else seemed ordinary for Crow Valley.  

Crow Creek, after appearing to be subsiding this past Tuesday, was rising today. The campsite were pretty much vacant this morning, but were filling up when I left the campground around 2 p.m.

Bird on!
