DENVER COUNTY:

—On September 9 a *GROOVE-BILLED ANI* was reported in the eBird hotspot
“Sand Creek--Westerly Creek to Smith Rd”. First reported September 8 by
Jason Bidgood, who spread the word quickly, allowing myriad birders to hop
to it and enjoy this mega-rarity, the 5th state eBird record. It was seen
from both sides of Sand Creek, upstream of the intersection of Xanthia St
and Smith Rd, and “near the RK plant”. Park on Xanthia St, just south of
Smith Rd. It has been confiding at times, perched in the open, but often
skulks in the dense understory there.
