Ken Caryl Ranch - Evening Grosbeaks, and nesting Common Poorwill 7/7

[David Suddjian]

This morning 2 (male and female) Evening Grosbeaks flew over near my Ken Caryl Valley home at Massey Draw. This were just my third July detection of the species at Ken Caryl Ranch in 5 years. 

The incubating adult Common Poorwill continued at its nest this morning. The photo below shows the bird in different lighting than the photo I sent earlier in the week, but in the same position. While in the shade the bird looks quite dark and charcoal-toned.
