[cobirds] Birds Arapahoe, Douglas, Jefferson Nov 16-17

Nov 16

South Platte Park upstream of Mineral Ave had an American Dipper flying downstream, Swamp Sparrow, Merlin, and Say's Phoebe. Cooley Lake had a Lesser Black-backed Gull. A Say's Phoebe at St. Mary Church on South Prince in Littleton was the first I had there since the breeding season birds departed. [Arapahoe]

My Ken Caryl Valley yard was relatively rich in sparrows: 1 White-throated Sparrow, 2 Harris's Sparrows, plus American Tree Sparrow, Song Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow (the latter two arrived with the recent snow), and of course a herd of juncos of five flavors. Fly over Evening Grosbeak. [JeffCo]

2 White-winged Scoters flew over C470 near South Platte Reservoir (in Arapahoe airspace) heading toward Chatfield.
 
Nov 17

Chatfield's Marina sand spit had 5 Tundra Swans, 2 Ross's Geese, 1 Greater Scaup, 1 Common Loon, and 8 American White Pelicans (Douglas Co). The Swans flew over toward the Jefferson Co side of the world, and I later refound them off the Swim Beach in JeffCo. An adult male White-winged Scoter was also in that area, perhaps the same as I saw flying over C470 the day before.
