The previously reported White-winged and Black Scoter were both present in
the northeast corner of Baseline Reservoir (Boulder) at 1045 hours this
morning. The White-wing Scoter extends its wings slightly as it dived,
giving very nice looks at the white secondaries, on the other hand the Black
Scot
I headed over to Red Rocks this morning to see who I could find.
Aside from the half-dozen people with cameras watching the area around
the platform feeder, I did manage to find three of the four species I
was looking for:
- Curve-Billed Thrasher
- White-Throated Sparrow
- Harris's Sparrow

Folks,
The 1st cycle Iceland Gull continues at Cherry Creek Reservoir, near the west
end. There are still 7 gull species to be seen, plus many variations of
Ring-billed, Herring and California Gulls. I have loaded several photos of the
Iceland Gull (including Iceland and Thayer's side by side
I located the Pine Warbler this morning at around 10:30 today near the
previously reported location. It was very cooperative and I got some good

While others say the Pine Warbler again today, I was able to refind the
Ovenbird in Area 2 of Fountain Creek Regional Park where it was found and
reported previously. I heard a Winter Wren in the same area and also saw the
Yellow-rumped Warbler. The Harris's Sparrow is still near
This morning I hiked a little over a mile in dry gulch where I have been
following the Williamson's Sapsuckers just outside of Canon City. Located
on private property, this gulch goes through both pinyon-juniper and pinyon
woodland habitat. I did find a few more small groves of siberian-type elms
As I walked back in the dry gulch in pinyon-juniper habitat, I spotted a
juvenile Northern Goshawk perched in a deciduous tree on a ridge several
hundred yards away. It was flushed by a bird that was harassing it and I
got photos of it flying by. Though this may seem like an unusual location

Earlier this morning before I went hiking outside of town, I birded around
Canon City a bit. I stopped by Lakeside Cemetery where I found 4 male and 1
female Williamson's Sapsuckers (almost all car birding). Of significance
were 5 or 6 Townsend's Solitaires, the first I have seen them this here t
