Present today:
Less birdy in terms of pass-thru migrants than last Saturday but still fun.
Gray-cheeked Thrush (entry/exit trail that runs e-w at north end)
Mourning Warbler (in golden currant thicket 200 yards south of the library feeder area w of trail due west of the swampy area where the northern waterthrushes have been)
American Redstart male (still present w of the trail at the north end among the olives).
Sora (still being heard at north end besides Willow Creek).
Did not find Eastern Towhee reported and photographed recently.
Siberian elms still hosting sparrows, buntings, grosbeaks, catbirds, orioles and warblers because of heavy infestation of European elm flea weevil (larvae in brown, conspicuous leaf mines are the attraction).
Hackberry, flowering honeylocust, mulberry and golden currant also are bird-attractive woody plants currently in se CO.
Total of 47 species this morning at LCC.
Where are the vireos (besides Warbling), red-headed and red-bellied woodpeckers? A very few of these have been reported but not nearly in what I would call “normal” numbers.
