Richard Stevens:
Gary Weston and I birded at Barr Lake (Adams County) this morning. The highlight was a singing Eastern Wood-Pewee. It was originally along the main road, just short of mile marker 8.0. Eventually it flew toward the Pioneer Trail. The area between the Pioneer Trail and the main road is still under water; so we could not follow.
We walked by the banding station twice (out and back). A strange Empidonax flycatcher looked similar to an Alder Flycatcher. However it never saw and did not respond to an Alder Flycatcher recording. (It did not respond to any other Empidonax recording either, but continued to Hawk insects).
We drove around to the northeast corner (Lark Bunting Lane) and walked below the length of the dam. The only uncommon bird was a Tennessee Warbler near mile marker 6.4. Several Common Yellowthroats and Yellow-rumped Warblers were along the canal.
The only thrushes were Swainson's Thrushes. A Belted Kingfisher rattled away near the south end of the canal. It past years, a pair has nested in the dirt bank overlooking the south end of the canal.
Eleven Burrowing Owls were found along the DIA Owl Loop (Adams).
