The Denver CBC was held on Saturday, December 20th with an initial tally of 104 species!
Highlights were: Yellow-billed Loon - 5th time on count (out of 61 consecutive counts) - still present at Chatfield with MANY people adding this species to their state or year lists Hermit Thrush - 5th time on count - along Bear Creek east of Wadsworth Sora - 3rd time on count - Bear Creek greenbelt (Stone House area) Williamson's Sapsucker - only the 2nd time ever on the Denver CBC - 1 female at Fort Logan Cemetery Other notables were Fox Sparrow (red race photographed below the dam at Chatfield, interestingly not seen at Red Rocks Park), 8+ Rusty Blackbirds in 3 locations, 2 Say's Phoebes, Northern Saw-whet and Northern Pygmy Owls, Lesser Goldfinch, Barrow's Goldeneye, Greater Scaup and Black-crowned Night Heron. Not to mention the Count Week birds still being found! Some nice birds and (later in the day) nice weather! Thanks to all the participants (140+) who participated.
