Hi, Cobirders.
Today 8 of us had a great time birding at Adams Open Space, Birdsall Road, and Shumway Road – all in the area or Fountain, CO, in El Paso County. We had a total of about 50 species. Highlights included Indigo Bunting, several singing Chats, a total of 8 Mississippi Kites and beautiful summer weather.
We saw two Mississippi (I love typing that word) Kites chasing a Golden Eagle. My goodness, they looked small next to the eagle. Several Great-tailed Grackles on Birdsall Road as well as two Canyon Towhees.
We went to Shumway Road to try to find the Dickcissel, but we were shut out.
Let's Go Birding!
