Weekend of Birding/Weld

[The "Nunn Guy"]

Hi all

Ovenbird at Crow Valley Campground was best bird of weekend for me! Photos at website below now. Also, of note, we had at least two Gray Flycatchers, I assume, both wagged tail downward when perched. Photos, too, if someone wants to confirm the flycatcher. Crow Valley also hosted Spotted Towhee, usual warblers (Wilson's, Yellow, Common Yellowthroat), Gray Catbird, Black-capped Chickadee, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Prairie Falcon, Swainson's Thrush and empids.

Galeton ponds at Weld CR 74/61 hosted Franklin's and California Gull, Stilt Sandpiper, Long-billed Dowitcher and Baird's Sandpiper. It is draining down and the usual spit of land is where birds are resting now.

White-winged Dove continues to appear in yard-it's got to be in Town of Nunn somewhere.

Wood Duck at Cozzens Lake.

Crom Lake received another ration of water so no more shoreline for about a month. Three Chukar and one Northern Bobwhite (again).

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn

 Hi all

Forgot to mention many hundreds of Weld County landfill gulls were resting across the street (south side of Hwy 14) in the tilled fields. Able to pick out Ring-billed, Franklin's, California and Herring Gull.
