Chestnut-sided Warbler and more SLV Highlites

[mvjo...@gmail.com]

An estimated 53,200 birds migrated over Rio Grande County last night (BirdCast) so I ventured to the Del Norte Riverwalk to see if I could find a few of them. It did not disappoint with a male Chestnut-sided warbler and female Rose-breasted Grosbeak among all the other colorful birds. A Black Phoebe was also seen nearby. 

In the past week, A Common Loon at Stabilization SWA, White-winged Dove on the Malm Trail, two different late Snow Geese (Russell Lakes and Sanchez) and a Northern Waterthrush near Saguache. 

Enjoy the migration while it is ON!
