My wife (Lora), brother (Greg) and I birder the Bear Creek riparian corridor (Jefferson County) from just west of C-470 to Bear Creek Lake on Saturday morning. We saw about 25 species including two male Northern Flickers fanning their tails to impress a nearby female, a Cooper's Hawk pair tending a nest (we unexpectedly spooked the female who flew to where the male was watching over our activities), myriads of robins and European Starlings, several Song Sparrows, a Red-tailed Hawk, both Mountain and Black-capped Chickadees, and a host of other common species. The one that took us by surprise was the FOY Female Yellow-rumped Warbler (Audubon variety) high in the canopy in the vicinity of the Cooper's Hawk nest (south side of Bear Creek). After spotting her, we keep our eyes open for other warblers in the area but found none.
