I went birding with Mark Chavez on Sunday, March 7th, resulting in the following highlights (sorry for the late post):
Wheat Ridge Greenbelt - Jefferson Co. Rusty Blackbird - 2 (1m, 1f), west of I-70, in general area posted by several others Rocky Mountain Arsenal - Adams Co. Harris's Sparrow - 1, maturing juvenile, at feeders Banner Lakes WMA - Weld Co. Long-eared Owl - 2, in Russian-olive/juniper shelter-belt This morning, I spent a couple hours zooming around areas close to home in Douglas County, resulting in the following highlights: Great Horned Owl - 3, all on nests along Hwy-105, 2 of them only about 200yds apart Red-tailed Hawk - 4, and one was sitting in a cottonwood only 6-7' above the head of a strangely tolerant Great Horned Owl on its nest Lewis's Woodpecker - 2, at the "Leaning Tree" location just north of Sedalia American Three-toed Woodpecker - 3 (2f, 1m), at the previously reported location along Hwy-67 west of Sedalia & just east of Rampart Range Rd. Evening Grosbeak - 14, at my feeders at home, still here every day and almost continuously since they showed up Dec-6th, which is over 3 months now! And finally, I still haven't seen a bluebird this year! Good Birding, Kirk Huffstater Castle Rock, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds".
