[cobirds] Tree Swallow Chatfield SP, Golden-crowned Sparrow Red Rocks Trading Post, Jefferson County

After cancelling the DFO trio for the abysmal weather in the Denver area yesterday, we were ready to see what was out today.  This morning at Red Rocks, the Golden-crowned Sparrow made a couple of cameo appearances over the course of about an hour, one from under the platform feeder, the other at the upper feeding  area under the tree by the footpath (in other words, the usual haunts).  The sun came out while we were at Chatfield a little later, and while looking toward the Plum Creek area from the sand spit by the marina, a single Tree Swallow patrolled the sky over the Mergansers there.  Spring must be on the way.
