My wife and I did a birding by bike trip along the Fountain Creek Regional trail.

 

Ran into Bill Maynard who put me on a new bird for this park, for me: gray catbird. Thanks Bill.

 

Of note:

 

·         Snowy Egrets (2)

·         Black-crowned Night-Heron

·         Wilson's Phalarope

·         Loads of yellow-rumps; both races; couldn't find another species of warbler.

·         Lots of house wrens

 

Complete list below.
