It was a wonderful day for birding in Bear Creek Park. Weather was not hot, and it was birdy in the area I was asked to lead from the Dog Park to the Tennis Courts area. My favorite birds of the day included Band-tailed Pigeons, Cooper's Hawks, American Kestrels, Wilson's Warbler, Green-tailed Towhee, lots of Chipping Sparrows, etc. I think the total species count will be one of the higher ones for the history of the count once all the results are tallied. I had one life-bird for the day - Black and White Warbler. I didn't have time to take many photos today (only 4, none of birds), but saw lots of nice birds. After the count, went to my niece's graduation party in Palmer Lake - the day continued to be very lovely there and could hear frogs singing in the pond near her grandparents' place.

| We watched this adventurous person coming down verrrry slowly - he seems to be floating in updrafts at times. |

Black and White Warbler - (no, I didn't take this photo).
