My friend Steve Miller called me on Tuesday about a bird he saw as he pulled into the Barclay Towers (between 16th & 17th and Larimer downtown). He said the bird was walking on the sidewalk as most people walked beside it without noticing. After parking the vehicle, he refound the bird in a protected area next to the Barclay, and a passerby thought this strange bird was a woodpecker. He sent the photos to me for confirmation, and to my surprise, it was a Virginia Rail. Who would guess such a secretive bird would be in the middle of downtown. The great thing about birding is that you never know what you will see! If anyone is interested in these photos let me know.
