The Denver Field Ornithologists trip to the Castlewood Canyon area today
produced 35 species on a cool, cloudy, but calm morning. We had two surprises.
A flock of about 200 Sandhill Cranes flew south, east of the Winkler Ranch.
We don't have many November records here.
Then two (we think different) flocks of Pine Siskins, one 75, the other 50
that whirled around and covered a lot of ground (or rather, air space). The
flock in the State Park started over the west cliffs, then swirled up and
around, headed south, and settled into some DouglasFirs; after a few minutes
there they took to the air again and moved south and east again. The second
flock flew over our house (3 hours later), headed west. We had one (only)
siskin at our feeders.
