Tuesday, August 26, 2014, 7AM – 10AM
Weather: partly cloudy
Location: Hallam Lake, Maroon Creek Wetlands

Species Identified
Canada Goose Mallard Great Blue Heron (pictured above) Rock Pigeon Broad-tailed Hummingbird		Western Wood-pewee Black-billed Magpie American Crow Tree Swallow Violet-green Swallow		Barn Swallow Black-capped Chickadee Mountain Chickadee House Wren American Dipper		American Robin Gray Catbird Cedar Waxwing Yellow Warbler Evening Grosbeak

Comments: Many juvenile birds are on the wing, sometimes seen in groups with parents with lots of vocalizing to cue birders.  We saw young yellow warblers, crows, swallows, and waxwings.  Behaviors are very entertaining at this time of year with the juveniles are gaining skills and many birds are feeding heavily in preparation for migration.  It’s a great time to spot different migratory species coming through from the north, so join us in the next several weeks as the excitement ramps up!
