SE Colorado (Prowers and Bent) 5/2

[Brandon]

Kara Carragher, Dan Follett, and I birded Lamar hotspots (Prowers County) and Melody Tempel Grove (Bent County) today.

At Riverside Cemetery in Lamar the continuing (day 3) male Hooded Warbler and newly arrived male and female Rose-breasted Grosbeaks were the highlights.  

At Fairmount Cemetery in Lamar, the continuing from yesterday singing male Northern Parula and singing Least Flycatcher were joined by an adult singing male BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER, certainly our highlight of our day.

Up at Melody Tempel Grove, we saw a singing male Hooded Warbler and a female Hooded Warbler (my 3rd and 4th Hooded Warblers in two days in SE Colorado), and a singing Tennessee Warbler.

A pretty fun day of birding for sure.
