Black Phoebe - Boulder Co

[Ira Sanders]

Birders,

The Black Phoebe was still at the bridge on 75th over Boulder Creek just before noon today.  I got to see it for only a few minutes before I lost track of it and didn't see it again in the next 15 min.

It was perching on the north side of the creek near a gate.  Photo link:  http://zroadrunner.smugmug.com/Birds/Just-Birds/Birds/31564726_z5MCLK#!i=3288207900&k=V9TJRBN

I watched a female Mallard swim across the creek and she was paddling for all she was worth.  She did make it.

I watched a guy with a fishing pole try to get close enough to the creek to put a line in.  He left.

The Black Phoebe was seen just shortly after 10:30 this morning (Tues 6/3).
It flew across the creek several times and perched briefly.
Then it disappeared and was not seen during the next 15 minutes.
It was staying west of the bridge.
Nothing else of note was seen.
