Yellow Wblr, Gr-tailed Grackle Walden Boulder Co

[Richard Pautsch]

I had my FOS Yellow Warbler this morning at Walden.  It was a male, flying from tree to tree near the end of the boardwalk, singing once from each tree it landed in, as if it were attempting to claim a territory.  Later, there was a male Great-tailed Grackle in the same area, and a female in the tall grass near the house.  There was a pair of Wood Ducks in the trees along the creek near the sewage plant discharge, likely nesting.  A Say's Phoebe was on the sewage plant fence in the same area.

Other FOS birds for me this morning were House Wrens (several singing), Rough-winged Swallows, and Cowbirds.

Also at Walden this morning: 3 pelicans. I missed the male great-tailed grackle but saw a female actually in the marsh next to the boardwalk.  At Sawhill Ponds: one green-tailed towhee in a shrub not far from the parking lot; and a pair of wood ducks in a tree on the west side of the refuge.
