Yes, it's that time of year again! Already!
Please come out to join the ASGD/DFO annual Fall Count at Castlewood Canyon State Park. We'll be starting at 6:30am on Sunday, September 9th, at the Old Farmhouse parking lot, which is just inside the north park entrance off Hwy-86 (just west of Franktown). We'll be birding all morning, and well into the afternoon, so dress appropriately and bring plenty to drink and eat.
There have been many interesting birds in the count area recently, including Yellow-headed Blackbirds, Sage Thrashers, Dickcissel, Bobolink, Loggerhead Shrike, both Bluebirds, both Kingbirds, all 3 Nuthatches (4 if you count Creepers), misc. empids, many Sparrows (Vesper, Lark, Song, Chipping, Clay-colored, Savannah, etc.), increasing numbers of Warblers, and many others! And we even had a Red-headed Woodpecker on the 2011 Fall Count!
I hope to see you out there! If you have any questions, feel free to email or call me.
Good Birding,
