Missed a Prothonotary Warbler By One Day

September 20, 2019

Richard Stevens:

Beautiful 74 degrees today with winds 8-9 mph, gusts to 14 mph.

I went looking for the Prothonotary Warbler at Belmar Historic Park (Jefferson) this morning.  Guess I was one day late, no one found the bird today.  A Plumbeous Vireo fluttering about the evergreen trees at the southeast corner of Kountze Lake.  Not much else was found.

On the drive home, I detoured through Cherry Creek State Park (Arapahoe).  Meg Reck had found a Gray Flycatcher along the railroad bike trail east of the shooting range.  I did not relocate the flycatcher but did see a Cordilleran Flycatcher and Red-eyed Vireo.

Pelican Point had many American White Pelicans and gulls including the Lesser Black-backed Gull.  No shorebirds walked around the limited shore.
