[cobirds] Denver and Adams Co. Goodies - Rusty Blackbirds, Night Herons, RB Mergs, etc.

Hi CoBirders --

Great day for bird-biking yesterday. Saw 9 Rusty Blackbirds with David Dowell at reported location along S. Platte River just north of the I-270 overpass. A few hundred yards upstream from the confluence with Sand Creek were five Black-crowned Night Herons (3 ad., 2 juv.) just hanging out low in a tree below the bike path.

At Sloans Lake I saw a Red-breasted Merganser and a Canvasback, among others (no hybrid goose).

Along the South Platte River between Confluence Park and Globeville Landing I saw four more Red-breasted Mergansers (3 m., 1 f.).

Two days ago I got a haircut from a low-flying Brown Creeper in front of East High School.

Today I saw a Northern Shrike at Bluff Lake.

Great weather for birding,
Chris Rurik
Denver, CO
