[cobirds] Denver fall count - Audubon Nature Center - Jefferson

Saturday turned out cloudy and ideal for bird watching. We saw more birds around the Audubon Nature Center than I've ever seen before, a collection of fairly typical migrants. Despite the ominous weather before, the day ended with slightly higher-than-average totals of birds & species: 64 species, 731 individuals.

Most intriguing along the trail, a big pile of bear poop (Terri Doolittle at Denver Water had sent a picture of the bear) and a crayfish walking along the trail far from the roiling South Platte.

Highlights included an immature - gray-headed - Red-headed Woodpecker and a Townsend's Warbler at the Nature Center; a Magnolia Warbler just east of the banding station, and a Peregrine headed east with determination.
