On Saturday's DFO Field Trip we stopped at Pelican Point in Bear Creek
Lake Park where we observed a large raft of ducks and geese in the
southwest corner of the lake. There were 75 -100 Scaup, and Tim Smart
and I estimated at least 10% of the scaup were Greater.

Dear Cobirders,
I headed out this morning to try again for the Golden-crowned Sparrow
at Red Rocks Trading Post. Unlike last time, I only had to wait about 5
minutes before he appeared at the platform feeder. He hung around for a bit
before heading north into the Native Plant Garden.
I went looking for Nick's gulls this morning--none were present; Dixie
and his crew were also there. On the way down stopped by Weld
Landfill, the field on south had thousands of gulls huddled together
(Ring-billeds, Herrings, Californias, and one Franklin's Gull--
probably more species I'm sure).
There is still 2 Bonaparte's Gull's fling around Walkers gravel ponds in
Castlerock. Also in the southern end of Castlewood State park there is a Lewis
Woodpecker along with Western and Mountain Bluebirds.
Good Birding

Well, I only get one day for spring break, so I try to make the most of it with
a long weekend. I usually like to tell my fashion conscious friends that I
went to Trinidad, but this year I didn't make it, although I did get to Las
Animas County twice!
I started off on Friday by heading out
Hi Everyone--
Marcia Marvin and I went up to see the White-winged Crossbill family in Fort
Collins. It was a very nice visit (male on the ground, female slurping on
maple sap and coming into a bush 20 feet away). On our way home, we stopped
at Windsor Reservoir. From WCR 78, we scoped south and
Sunday afternoon Walden Ponds. Just south of Duck Pond, a pair, on the
ground at the top of the bank and in bushes per map. http://tiny.cc/stehh.
