Susan Pellegrini and I birded several spots in eastern Boulder today. Highlights included seeing the continuing flock of 40+ (guesstimate) Common Redpolls at the SW corner of Baseline Reservoir around 10 a.m., along with 8 swans (all that showed enough of themselves for me to identify appeared to be Tundra); at Boulder Creek and 75th Street a light-morph juvenile Ferruginous Hawk to the southwest, an American Dipper under the bridge, and a female Rusty Blackbird approximately 200 yards upstream, feeding in the stream channel; at the Cottonwood/Sawhill Ponds complex, the previously-reported Greater Yellowlegs was in the far corner of Duck Pond and the previously-reported Fox Sparrow was still in the junipers and nearby areas on the west end of the Matthew Reiser Wetlands; and many species of ducks almost everywhere -- Sombrero Marsh was particularly good with respect to divers, including Canvasback, Redhead, Bufflehead, Scaup (presumably lesser), Ring-necked, and Common Goldeneye.
