Too add to Luke’s report of Philadelphia Vireos, I have been birding east
and south of Baca County in Morton County, Kansas from Sunday to Wednesday
morning and saw Philadelphia Vireos at several locations, and then on
Thursday, 8 October I saw four in Cimarron County, Oklahoma! In Kansas, I
was also seeing Black-throated Green and Nashville Warblers, and
Blue-headed Vireos at several locations in Morton County as well. Seems
like a big movement of those species in SE Colorado and nearby locations in
Kansas and Oklahoma.
The mountain birds were also around this week, I did find Pinyon and
Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jays, Evening Grosbeaks, Cassin’s Finch, a Red-naped
Sapsucker all in Morton County, Kansas, and both Cassin’s Finch and Evening
Grosbeak in Oklahoma, since I have been here Wednesday and Thursday.
