For anyone who didn't get enough warbler viewing this year; there are a couple of Audubon's near the South Platte River at McKay Road. They're located about 100 feet west (up river) from the bridge. This is adjacent to a wastewater treatment plant which, no doubt, provides warm water for insec

I think there is some misunderstanding here. I saw a blue adult. I did not see any white juveniles nor did I see any Snowy Egrets at Sprat-Platte. Jerry Cech Denver On Apr 27, 7:22 pm, s...@juno.com wrote: > Today after work, I chased after the Little Blue Heron report and with > success it was

There was a broad winged hawk at kingfisher bridge Sunday (April 24) at about 1:00pm. It was an adult light morp. Combined with the Boulder area sightings it sounds like there is a migration wave moving through. Other birds in the area included yellow rumped warblers , Myrtle and Audubon; and hu

I found a lone Horned Grebe at Centennial Park, Englewood near Federal and Union this afternoon, Friday March 11. It was feeding near a group of other more common diving ducks, spending a lot of time underwater. The bird was in adult, nonbreeding plumage as shown in the big Sibley guide. Also th

The Long-tailed Duck was at S. Platte and Florida as of Tuesday (Feb 15). She is shy and likes to hang under the east bank, keeping vegetation between her and you. I suspect she has a hiding place as I only see her half the times I stop to look. Jerry Cech Denver On Feb 20, 6:13 pm, B K wrote:

The picture posted on another thread is definitely not the Long-tail that has been at S. Platte and Florida. The Long-tail was an unmistakable female in typical winter plumage. It's gotta be at least part Pintail. Jerry Cech Denver, CO On Jan 31, 2:40 pm, williebondo wrote: > Went down to the
