Greetings,

Around 9:40 this morning in Memorial Park, downtown Colorado Springs I IDed an Eastern Wood-Pewee on the basis of relatively bright wingbars and almost entirely orange lower mandible. eBird checklist and further details can be found here. https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S48368333
This bird and most of the passerine activity was occurring around the Veterans Memorial and YMCA parking lot while I was present. Other noteables were Cassin's Vireos and a female Lark Bunting, not common this close to the foothills. My time was limited, so there could be other fun passerines around.
