Pat O'Driscoll and I visited Washington Park this morning to scout a Denver Field Ornithologists project to monitor nesting colonial waterbirds. We stopped at the grove of conifers where the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker has been previously seen. After a few minutes of scouring tree trunks, Pat spotted the sapsucker about 2/3 of the way up a large pine. The bird gave us intermittent looks as it probed the bark and frequently scooted behind a branch or around the trunk.
Smith Lake hosted about 5 Hooded Mergansers swimming among the shovelers and white-cheeked geese.
A European Starling in gaudy breeding plumage was singing persistently on a branch stump that probably contained a cozy cavity.
