Hi all If I remember correctly overall Greeley CBC had 76 species, ~20,000 birds. Section H (my group had north half, Doug Kibbe group had southern) is bounded by O St on north, Hwy 34 on south, 23rd Ave on east and 59th Ave on west, we had 54 species total with the following highlights:
Interesting story of the day for me was around dusk went to my Ferruginous Hawk stakeout on F St (he finally showed up in EXACT tree expected) then I proceeded west past Dog Park and before 59th Ave to old Great Blue Heron roost area along Poudre River Trail to try for Eastern Screech Owl. I played my iPod a few times and got one to appear. All of a sudden while looking at him I noticed "black blobs" in tallest cottonwoods nearby ... thought "what the h--- are they?", got out scope saw they were turkeys started watching and counting ... 6, 12, 18 and finally 27. Quite an experience for me--they were at the very top of the tallest cottonwoods (2). Eastern Screech Owl - 6 (Platte and Poudre Rivers) Wild Turkey - 27 Common Redpoll - 2 (along Reservoir Road I believe) Adult dark-morph Ross's Goose x "Canada" Goose - 1 Greater White-fronted Goose - 1 Snow Goose - 9 Mute Swan - 2 Wilson's Snipe - 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler - 1 Mountain Chickadee - 2 Red-breasted Nuthatch - 39 Cedar Waxwing - 12 Pine Siskin - 1 Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn http://coloradobirder.ning.com/ Mobile: http://coloradobirder.ning.com/m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
