Driving the DIA loop this afternoon I found three Burrowing Owls. One was on the southwest corner of the 114th Ave & Trussville intersection. Two others were sharing a spot on the northwest of Trussville and 120th, just west of the small industrial plant there. They were originally a few feet apart, but when the one standing just off the prairie dog mound saw me looking, he or she ran to join the other. Whether it was to give or receive protection/comfort I don't know but it was pretty cute. Other birds seen where Red-tailed Hawk, Northern Harrier, Rough-legged Hawk, many American Kestrels, and some Horned Larks and Western Meadowlarks. My question pertains to bushes. Does anyone know what the bushes or small trees are that are behind the Barr Lake Visitor center where the platform feeders are? I'm thinking of doing a set up like that in my back yard outside of one of my downstairs windows. If you know what they are, or any other types of bushes or shrubs that would be good for attracting sparrows and affording good views, I'd appreciate the advice. You can contact me off list at my email address. Thanks. John Breitsch Denver, CO jbreitsch at Hotmail http://www.flickr.com/photos/breitschbirding/
