COBirders,
Fountain Creek Nature Center hosted it's 20th winter bird count today. While
the weather was incredibly warm, the bird numbers were low for a winter count.
For the two hours of birding, we only had 41 species. Most all common birds.

2012 is starting out great with a new yard bird this morning - a White-winged
Dove. While they have been in Colorado Springs for maybe 10 years or so, this
is the first for me on the west-side in Pleasant Valley.

COBirders,
An adult Harris's Sparrow showed up in my yard this morning. While not a new
yard bird, it added some excitement to the day as we don't see them very often.

The common redpoll previously reported showed up again at our bird feeders
today around 2:15 p.m. It may have showed up more often but no one was not
watching it much today.
At Bear Creek Nature Center today I saw a Northern Goshawk and an
all dark-morph Red-tailed Hawk.
Cobirders,
The Common Redpoll returned to our feeders a few minutes ago around 10:30 a.m.
and stayed for a good 5 minutes. I was able to get a few photos of the bird.
People are welcome to come today to look for it.

Johnson Reservoir this morning. I also saw a merlin (appeared to be Taiga) and
