Rob Sparks and I birded at Crow Valley campground this morning. A few migrants were found on this very chilly morning. An impressive number of Lincoln's Sparrow and Spotted Towhee were present (estimating between 50-100 of each). One adult light-morph Broad-winged Hawk and one White-throated Sparrow (white striped) were other highlights. For warblers a few Yellow-rumped (Myrtle and Audubon's) and Orange-crowned were all we could find. Along Weld county road 65 near Hwy 14 we saw a few Vesper Sparrows and many McCown's Longspurs.
