Old Town Fort Collins/Larimer

[Rob Sparks]

This morning it was very birdy around my house.  There were about 50 Chipping Sparrows, a couple of Clay-colored Sparrows, about 15 Yellow-rumped Warblers,1 Wilson's Warbler, 1 Orange-crowned Warbler, 1 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher.  When I went home on my lunch break I was looking at an Orange-crowned Warbler in a boxelder tree in my front yard and then in the sky I see a Broad-winged Hawk fly over migrating north on a thermal and then 2 more Broad-winged Hawks flew over using the same path. 

 Also of note were 1 Northern Waterthrush, 5 Swainson’s Thrushes and 1 Warbling Vireo behind the Museum of Discovery.
