Red-eyed Vireo/Indigo Bunting/Larimer

[Rob Sparks]

This evening Maya, Michelle and I heard a Red-eyed Vireo singing in our neighbor’s cottonwood, the second consecutive year we had one.  Around the neighborhood there were also some Cedar Waxwings and a Willow or Alder Flycatcher, it didn't vocalize so I couldn't ID it.  I also had an Indigo Bunting at Lee Martinez Park about a half mile west form the park and the Poudre bike trail intersection.

Earlier in the week I was playing racquetball with Greg Levandoski and we spotted a Broad-tailed Humming bird nest.  This Humming bird had no fear escorted a squirrel away from its nest by constantly hovering and dive bombing it.
