Crow Valley Campground/Weld

[markc...@comcast.net]

Since I posted from the field, I thought I should send a follow-up post regarding Crow Valley.  The campground was fairly birdy in both the northwest and southwest parts of the park.  The first bird I saw was the continuing Red-bellied Woodpecker.  In the NW part of the park, I ran into a flock of Pine Siskins and noticed some movement in a cedar.  I was surprised to see a White-eyed Vireo.  I moved to the SW and noticed a lot of Robins going in and out of the Cedar.  In the cedar was a Townsend's Solitaire, Orange-crowned Warbler, Kinglets, and the White-eyed Vireo appeared again. I was surprised the vireo moved along with me to the opposite end of the park!  There were also several Brown Creepers hugging the activity. Overall, an enjoyable warm morning in the campground. Photos of the birds can be seen below:
