Today there were hundreds of sparrows, mostly White-crowned and Song, in the brushy areas around the Holcim Wetlands. Highlights were a White-throated Sparrow and a brilliantly rusty, eastern-type Fox Sparrow. It came as no surprise when a flock of 137 Sandhill Cranes were seen flying westward over the wetlands. The water level in the wetlands was reduced by 2 to 3 ft.after the flash flood on Hardscrabble Creek this summer. It completely washed out the beaver dam that was holding a high water level in the marsh. As of today I haven't see any sign that the beavers are rebuilding the dam. Rich Miller Canon City
