[cobirds] Boulder County Birds on 12/2

I did a big loop through Boulder County today, heading into the mountains first and then back through the western edge of the plains.  Noteworthy birds included a flock of 250 noisy Bohemian Waxwings about ½ mile east of Barker Dam outside of Nederland (there was also a very late Mourning Dove in town).  Otherwise the mountains were slow, but I did see one Common Redpoll in Allenspark.  Back on the plains, more Common Redpolls with a flock of about 5 at McCaslin Lake along N. 59^th St.  I was able to peek at the Walden Ponds Fox Sparrow as it scratched about under a tree and there are still 8 (5a, 3i) Tundra Swans at Baseline Res.
