9/17 SW Longmont Birds of Note

[Luke Pheneger]

Today I went around the usual SW Longmont hotspots and I found some interesting stuff.....

At Golden Ponds I was surprised to find a MOUNTAIN CHICKADEE calling with some BCCH, a very unusual bird for Golden Ponds and some of Longmont as a whole. There was also a BLUE GROSBEAK, TOWNSENDS WARBLER, a singing BROWN CREEPER, and a very skulky EASTERN PHOEBE.

Rogers Grove Park had a flyover CHIMNEY SWIFT, along with a CASSINS VIREO, and CASSINS KINGBIRD.

Lagerman Reservoir was pretty quite, except for a single BREWERS SPARROW, flyover GREAT EGRET, and a possible GRAY FLYCATCHER, but it wasn't tail flicking so it was hard to tell.

Good Birding
