When the CoBus group arrived at Billy Creek Wildlife Area, a lone nighthawk was flying around. Careful inspection proved it to be a Lesser Nighthawk!
Other birds they reported included a flock of Bushtits, a pair of Juniper Titmice, Spotted Towhees, Pinyon Jays, Lincoln's Sparrow, and an uncommon Sage Sparrow. Warblers included Wilson's Warblers, Orange-crowned Warblers and one Virginia's Warbler.
They reported Ridgway State Park in Ouray County to be disappointing. The highlight was a Caspian Tern. They did find one gray form Fox Sparrow.
The road to Mt Sneffels was more interesting. They saw a pair of Black Swifts, two additional gray form Fox Sparrows along with Lincoln's Sparrows, and heard a Canyon Wren, which was believed to be uncommon here.
A pair of American Three-toed Woodpeckers was found along Sneffels Creek.
They scoped Bridal Veil Falls when they pulled into Telluride. Two additional Black Swifts were seen.
