Hello all,
Enjoyed a morning of early spring birding with Michael Kiessig at Chatfield today. Thomas Holub found a McCown's longspur at the Model Airplane Field yesterday; seems the the bird is still there. Saw American pipit at the swim beach, various yellow-rumped warblers, the eastern phoebe near the Kingfisher Bridge concrete outhouse, Swainson's hawks, turkey vultures, house wrens, vesper sparrows, Say's phoebes, and Franklin's gulls.
Michael yesterday noticed a very productive (magic) plains cottonwood near the swim beach. It attracts starlings, flickers, robins, and many yellow-rumped warblers. I believe it is a male tree with catkins just turning red. Lots of birds there again today. Do insects like those red catkins? Dave Leatherman, can you explain the magic?
Finally, Michael noticed a renegade-looking red-tailed hawk, photo below. Anybody know what it is?
