Instead of waiting a week for a bird trips to finish and getting reports, I will transcribe telephone reports of current bird trips. Amy Davenport

Yesterday's Ruff reported by Roger Danka and the Buff-breasted Sandpiper reported by Bryan Ehlmann were not relocated this morning.? They did relocate the Pectoral Sandpiper and Semipalmated Plovers.? At Campgrounds; warblers gone, Red-eyed Vireo still there.? Winds 18 mph with gusts to 26 mph; temperature 82 degrees.
Roger states that the bird he saw was bigger than the Buff-breasted Sandpiper seen later in the day. Nevertheless, admits size can be subjective on a lone bird and a non-breeding adult Ruff and juvenile Buff-breasted Sandpiper can look similar.
This afternoon they relocated the Red-eyed Vireo at Jumbo's Campgrounds. A Blackpoll Warbler, Cassin's Vireo and Magnolia Warbler were at Little Jumbo's riparian area.
They called to say no sign of Ruff or Buff-breasted Sandpiper. As they watched sunset at the southern Tamarack Ranch Wildlife Area a Short-eared Owl flew northwest of Logan County Roads 46 and 89.
Back in Denver, Jerry Petrosky looked for the Long-tailed Jaeger at Cherry Creek State Park on Monday. He did not find it at sunrise or sunset.
