Friends, Belmar Historic Park in Lakewood, Colorado, has been featured in the birding news of late, as it has been hopping with warblers and other fun birds. Over many years no one has "worked this patch" as much as one of Lakewood's stalwart birders, Karlene Schofield. Karlene has been diligent in birding there and has given her time to lead field trips and stay in touch with other avid Belmar birders.
Like Gaul, Belmar Park's surface water is divided into three parts: Kountz Lake, the largest of the three, and the only waterbody with a name. The second area that attracts birds and birders is innominate "marshy area" to the northwest of Kountz Lake. Then there is the famous and yet to be named bow-tie shaped "small pond' to the southwest of the big lake. I propose that we ditch the name "small pond" and honor Belmar Park's esteemed aviphile, Karlene Schofield, by hereafter proudly calling it "Karlene's Pond."
