Greetings All

Today Dave Dowell and I birded Kiowa. The list of highlights was staggering, perhaps due to wicked weather farther south

Brown-Crested Flycatcher- fresh plumage bird in the locusts at Neenoshe Locust grove. Also there, one worn GC Flycatcher

Little Gull - 6 - yes 6- fresh juvs at Upper Queens

Laughing Gull - immature, presumably ongoing, at Neenoshe

Curve-billed Thrasher- one at wetlands south of Eads (it's a hotspot)

Myrtle Warbler - ridiculously early bird at Upper Queens

Rufous and Calliope Hummingbirds in Eads at gardens

Mississippi Kite- high over Lower Queens Reservoir

Great Crested Flycatchers- 3 more at Upper Queens and 1 at wetlands south of Eads

Macgillivrays Warbler- wetland south of Eads

The indigo bunting - Upper Queens Reservoir

Passerines on the move. Lots of Gulls, terns, herons. No shorebirds
Good luck and good birding
