Early this morning Chuck Aid, Celia Greenman, and myself started out birding at the Red Rocks feeders. The Golden-crowned Sparrow (now looking very sharply attired as opposed to a week ago), the hulking Slate-colored Fox Sparrow, and the petite Lincoln's Sparrow all showed up early. We've seen a lone White-crowned Sparrow all winter, but today there were 5 White -crowned (all Gambel's), plus a male Lazuli Bunting, 3 Brown Cowbirds (2m, 1f), in addition to all the regulars. The number of juncos is down and today is the first day I have not seen an Oregon - only Pink-sided, Slate-colored, plus Gray-headed.
At Bear Creek Lake Park our highlights were:
28 White-faced Ibis
23 American Avocets
20 Wilson's Phalarope
2 Willet
1 Wilson's snipe
6 Swallow Species among 100's of birds.
3 Ruby-crowned Kinglet
2 Eastern Bluebird
20+ Hermit Thrush
2 Orange-crowned Warblers along with many Yellow-rumped (Audubon & Myrtle's)
1 Common Yellowthroat FOS
1 Green-tailed Towhee FOS
Sparrow species included Chipping, Lincoln's, White-crowned, Song & Vesper
2 Yellow-headed Blackbird (uncommon in the park)
