Cardinal continues in Cherry Hills Village just south of Quincy, as the
highline canal crosses the road between Holly and Colorado Blvd. No
sightings before 0850 today, tough watchers were there. Then Jeff Dawson
heard the bird sing farther south, in the west side of the towpath, just
north of the first pond. I joined him, heard and saw the bird. It was just
north of the pond and in a pine tree behind a shed with a black roof topped
by a blue-green strip. I followed the bird north, still on the west side of
the towpath, and then watched it fly east across the canal...seen by others.
It was soon at the bird feeder east of the canal, in the yard where it had
been seen before. After a short visit to the feeder, it dropped to the
dense brush and was almost undetectable.
So....territory extension.
May be out of sight for many minutes.
Bright red male.
Great territory for it to stay. I saw/heard about 12 spotted towhees.
And the grackle invasion is upon us.
