I spotted this Ash-throated Flycatcher carrying this grasshopper, presumably to feed young, at Holcim Wetlands. Since I followed it to a tree about a hundred feet from where I first saw it (and several minutes later while I hiked around to where it landed) and it still had the food in it's bill. This is a late nesting for this species. The first Colo Breeding Bird Atlas shows them feeding young from May 27 to July 24, a full three weeks earlier than this bird. SeEtta
