Hello all, Joe Roller provided some details on birds at Barr Lake today, but I thought I'd add a few more tidbits. The Board of Directors of CFO had it's quarterly meeting today and a few of us (myself, Joe, Bill Schmoker, and Maggie Boswell walked along portions of the lake from the Nature Center to the dam and had the following of interest:
Greater Scaup - a few (thanks to Joe) Wood ducks Bald Eagle - one 2nd-year, one 3rd-year (strange considering the adult nesting pair at the lake, which usually keep the other eagle riff-raff out) Barn Swallows - a few Western Grebes - 6 Horned Grebes - quite a few Hairy (mountain) Woodpecker Pine Siskin - one fly over EASTERN BLUEBIRD - 1 Marsh Wren - 1 Peregrine Falcon - 1 adult at the RMBO office. Also, although Joe gave me credit for finding the Eastern Phoene at pthe RMBO office, I actually believe it was Mark Peterson who first identified it. The bird was first found at RMBO's Old Stone House at the north side of the lake, but was later refound along the canal below the north side of the dam by Doug Faulkner, Lucia Faulkner, and Lisa Edwards. A lone Swainson's Hawk also soared over the area during the afternoon.
