Today was the opening of Rocky Flats NWR in Northern Jefferson Co. Parking is on the north side off of CO 128 (120th Ave). There is great potential for grasslands species although this morning I had only Vesper Sparrows, Western Meadowlarks, Mourning Doves, and 2 Sage Thrashers. I only walked south to the draw with the stream below Westgate Rd. and the Lindsey Farm Loop.
-- Spotted Towhees were common, but quiet in the shrubs below the mesa. There are a few patches of trees and one stream crossing that held a few migrants. Lincoln Sparrow, Gray Flycatcher, Dusky Flycatcher, Wilson's Warbler, Chipping Sparrow and a few locals: Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, House Wren, Rock Wren, Green-tailed Towhee, Song Sparrow.
