Hi all, I led a DFO trip this morning to Prospect Park in Wheatridge, Jefferson County. It was a beautiful morning, despite the temps being on the cool side. Passerine migrants were pretty much non-existent besides Yellow-rumps, but we made up for it with an eclectic mix of good sightings. Highlights are
Virginia Rail with babies - on the south side of West Lake there is a boardwalk, from there we first saw an adult, then three of us had three separate sightings of what would have to be at least one, probably two, hatchlings. Is it way too early? Broad-winged Hawk - one flying low over us and kept going north, giving us good looks but we can use a longer one American Bittern - pretty much the first bird of the official trip, landed on a tree to give everyone a good scope view Plegadis ibis - 3 of them, presumably white-faced, never did land for a look Peregrine Falcon - a quick flyby Chishun Kwong Superior, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
