Hey, all.
*Swainson thrushes* are migrating over Lafayette, eastern Boulder Co.,
right now in the fine mist. Lovely to hear their little whistles in the
darkness. Not a massive East Coast–style flight, but one or two per minute.
Also a resident *common nighthawk* or two.
A few other odds and ends:
Yesterday, Mon., June 2, at Murphy's Pasture & environs, Pawnee National
Grassland, Weld Co., Hannah Floyd and I found many *grasshopper,
Cassin,* & *Brewer
sparrows.* Great encounters, too, with a greater short-horned lizard and a
prairie rattlesnake. We missed the funnel cloud directly over Briggsdale;
we left too early.
And back on Sun., June 1, along the Fowler Trail & environs above Eldorado
Springs, Boulder Co., Kieran Schnitzspahn, Hannah Floyd, Isabelle Busch,
Owen Robertson, Archer Silverman, and I found at least six *ovenbirds,*
along with the usual slug of *Hammond flycatchers, plumbeous vireos,
Virginia* & *MacGillivray warblers,* and *lazigo buntings.* Also, a *peregrine
falcon,* likely a resident.
