Just the visitors center is closed for those times. The arsenal itself is
usually open sunrise to sunset (except a couple of holidays - possibly
Christmas and Thanksgiving, but I'm not sure).

Hey, all. Thanks to Charlie and Patrick and Candice for the tips on access
to Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.
Hannah Floyd and I were all ready to go out there this Monday morning, Oct.

Tuesdays; and not
Hi all,
I just got off the phone with George Steele. He saw the Ruddy Ground-Dove
at his feeders today at 8:00 AM, 10:00 AM, noon, and 2:30 PM. George is OK
with having birders come to look for this bird, as long as they keep their
distance from it (and from each other, for COVID purposes).
Today we noticed that the Wildlife Drive at the Arsenal was gated shut, so
we guess that it is probably due to plague. No signage, of course. By the
way, about 3 months ago our car window was broken while we parked at First
Creek lot on 56th Avenue, although there was nothing to steal. We have
Charlie, it's a longer walk back to where you want to be, but if you drive
56th Avenue east from the closed parking lot and cross Tower Road, the next
major intersection ahead (stoplight 3 blocks east) is Dunkirk Street. From
there you can drive to and park at First Creek Park, a tiny city park
Karen Strong and I just saw a White-eyed Vireo along the Highline Canal about
100 yards west or “upstream” of Rampart Range Rd. It was remaining low in
vegetation and seen on either side of the trail. A juv Harris’s Sparrow was in
the same area.

Thank you, Lauren; it probably bears repeating regularly, since one, people
don’t “get” it the first time, and two, new people are (hopefully, it’s a good
thing) regularly joining the birding world, that our ethics as birders require
us to put the birds’ safety and health first. NO exceptions.
I should also say that I did not speak up. Left that out!

The Sedge Wren is being seen in a place that is walking distance from my home,
so I went to try my luck. The wren was seen around 1:45 by a group of five
birders including me. I got a nice five seconds or so before he dove for
cover.
I know the only reason I got to see the bird was because
Hi all
Snow Goose (2) at Crom Lake cornfields. Merlin along Weld CR 102 east of

Yellowlegs-with a Wilson's Snipe hanging out, too. Windsor Reservoir had

*Why did we see an influx of birds on this date?*
It looks like the frontal passage is the culprit for these birds showing up
in CO. Had a nice cold frontal passage that led to our low-clouds,
drizzle, increased humidity, and subdued winds (great for fire
suppression).

The Buckley Rd and 56th Ave access is closed due to plague in the adjacent
prairie dog colony. How else are folks accessing the First Creek path? I
drove around a few neighborhoods but didn't see anything that seemed like
an official or legal access point.

Sedge Wren continues to skulk and show itself ever so briefly every 10 mins
or so the past hour for 8-10 patient birders at the fallen trees (with

Something was definitely going on. On the 17th, I took a walk behind my home in
Lafayette, a couple of miles north of Waneka/Greenlee. My neighborhood near
Heron Lake does not usually produce rare birds. One of the first birds I
spotted was a male Black-throated Blue Warbler. Then spotted a
