I spent 5 hours today at Chatfield Reservoir (Jefferson and Douglas Counties), mostly driving around and taking pictures, but i did some hiking also. I didn't make it there yesterday but there sure were birds everywhere today. There were so many sparrows, Lark Buntings, Yellow-rumped Warblers and Mountain Bluebirds that there could have easily been two or three times as many birds as my estimates. Here we go: Chipping Sparrow 450 Lark Sparrow 120 Vesper Sparrow 150 Clay-colored Sparrow 130 Brewer's Sparrow 25 White-crowned Sparrow 47 Lark Bunting 320 many males and females Mountain Bluebird 139 Western Bluebird 40 Yellow-headed Blackbird 45 Brown-headed Cowbird 34 Western Kingbird 95 Seemed to be very weak. Would hardly move off the roads. Eastern Kingbird 2 Brewer's Blackbird 16 Barn Swallow 200 Violet-green Swallow 200 Bank Swallow 25 Northern Rough-winged Swallow 20 No Tree Swallows Spotted Sandpiper 15 Willet 36 American Avocet 7 Yellow-rumped Warbler 215 All over the place especially along edge of lake near wooded areas, in fields, and flooded areas. Orange-crowned Warbler 5 Yellow Warbler 2 Northern Waterthrush 1 Ovenbird 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 3 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 2 Swainson's Thrush 5 Hermit's Thrush 1 Western Tanager 5
