[cobirds] Yellow-bellied SS in Colo Spgs, El Paso Cty today

Hi, Cobirders.

Today 13 of us got lucky in the Garden of the Gods and Rock Ledge Ranch area of Colorado Springs.

At GoG we had nice views of Prairie Falcons (2), a Sharp-shinned Hawk and at least a dozen Townsend's Solitaires.

We then moved over to Rock Ledge Ranch. After seeing Red-breasted Nuthatch, Wilson's Warblers, and some chattering (yes, chattering) American Crows, we were treated to a YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER. We got to watch it for about 20 minutes, with great views in the morning sun that made ID much easier.
