I found a dark Harlan's Hawk at dusk over the week-end in Canon City and another one in Penrose, about 20 ne of Canon City, on Sunday. On Monday I was surprised to see a Great Egret fishing at a private pond in the Canon City area, getting late for this species.
I found (or likely refound) a juvenile Yellow-bellied Sapsucker at Centennial Park yesterday and a good number of Wiliamson's Sapsuckers around town (3 males and 2 females)--they are still moving around quite a bit as they often do early in the wintering (versus winter) season here.
I have posted photos of one of the male Williamson's Sapsuckers I was able to get close-up (but without disturbing him, he was still feeding in same area of the same tree when I left). Very striking plumage on these guys. Also a photo of one of the dressed-to-blend-in females.
