Black phoebes, Boulder Co.

[jandcru...@gmail.com]

Today at approximately 12:45p, while looking for an Eastern phoebe, I found two Black phoebes along St. Vrain Creek southwest of Hygiene. They were along Crane Hollow Road at the bridge that crosses the creek between Hygiene and St. Vrain Roads. I have not previously read reports of Black phoebe at this location so thought I should report it. 

I attempted to get a photo of one of the birds but a tree limb interfered and the photo is not diagnostic. My cell phone is in for work and so I have not done an eBird report. I will attempt to get out there later today or tomorrow and hope the birds will still be around.
