[cobirds] A few Sunday Am birds

Kay & I were in the Denver area for a non-birding visit Saturday and Saturday night.  Sunday we found a few birds though on the way home.  The Brant continues at Redstone Park/Highlands Ranch & nothing of note at South Platte Reservoir.  We stopped at Red Rocks where after putting out seed a very "showy" White-winged Junco came out of hiding and a Canyon Wren sang from the rocks.  We had more time for the westbound ski traffic to clear so a side trip to Central City was the plan.  We searched, yes, for Eurasian Collared-Doves.  Gilpin County remains the last holdout, so we check two or three times every year on the way home.  Meanwhile in Eagle a Magpie was carrying a stick to it's SPRINGTIME nest.  Thanks for sharing the Front Range birds.
