Boreas Pass birds, Park County

[Paula Hansley]

Birders,

North of Como on my route, I had singing Hermit Thrushes and Veery(!), and more Fox Sparrows, Green-tailed Towhees, and Black-headed Grosbeaks than usual.  Clark’s Nutcrackers were constantly flying over very high, calling.  I had three calling and drumming  Red-naped Sapsuckers widely spaced along my route.

I heard Red Crossbills flying over that were not type 5.  I haven’t had a chance to listen to recordings.

There were fewer warblers and flycatchers than usual — no Olive-sided for the first time.
