Missed on the Red-headed this morning but a number of other interesting sightings including quite a few more birders than i am used to seeing at Heron Pond. The Swainson's were busy courtship talking, had a stellar view of a Cedar Waxwing on top of a cottonwood, an adult female Red-naped Sapsucker flew in from a cottonwood on the north side of the pond into the thicket where the stream enters the pond. A Least Flycatcher was actively feeding and calling by the armory parking lot and the duck statues. A Blue Grosbeak was singing in one of the single trees on the SE side of the armory then flew to the river where it disrupted a Cordilleran Flycatcher hawking gnats over the willows. Numerous Yellow Warblers and very many nesting grackles and blackbirds. Nice morning at an under used and appreciated unnatural Natural Area. Charlie Chase Denver
