Tom Wilberding and I are heading to Cortez to bird Yellowjacket Canyon Saturday. Leaving Boulder Thursday we birded Chaffee County by the road side. Trout creek had a flock of 8 Clark’s Nutcracker. American Pipt was a surprise in the fields SW of Johnson Village along with about 500 Mule Deer . Heading into Salida on 291 we encountered a large flock of Pinyon Jays maybe 75-80 birds. Stopping to observe a Red-tailed Hawk on the nest. Its mate was a few trees over and in the next tree was a smaller raptor. Turns out it was a Peregrine Falcon . Sands Lake SWA had Great-tailed Grackle, Common Goldeneye, and Ring-necked Duck seemed to be good birds for the lake.
