-- Rocky Mountain Arsenal NWR
Not all of the sparrows are back yet, but I did see Chipping, Brewer's, Clay-colored, Vesper, Song, Lincoln's, and a couple of Green-tailed Towhees.
There were some good moments during the day. About a minute or twos walk east from the intersection of the Prairie/Rod-Gun/Woodland trails meet I had , all at the same time, House Wren, Rock Wren, Green-tailed Towhee, a perched Tree Swallow, American Kestrel, mating Downy Woodpeckers, and a calling Sora.
The shoreline at Havana Ponds is growing by the day. Since Sunday, the water level has receded at least 5-10 feet. That being said, the only new shorebird seen this morning was a Spotted Sandpiper.
Other birds of potential interest seen while walking or driving were Loggerhead Shrike, Burrowing Owl, the two Eastern Phoebes, the family of Great Horned Owls, American Avocets, rafts of Ruddy Ducks, Eared Grebe, Lesser Scaup, Common Merganser, White-faced Ibis, Say's Phoebe, and Horned Larks. 48 species in all.
