[cobirds] A few recent birds from Jefferson and Arapahoe

Nov 12

The backyard feeders at my Ken Caryl Valley home had 2 Cassin's Finches, and I heard Snow Geese flying over in the snowy clouds.

6 Snow Geese flew over St. Mary Church at South Prince in Littleton, and 6 Red Crossbills (Type 2) were there.

A big increase in Canada Geese today, and Cackling Geese now, too.

A Harris's Sparrow was feeding in my yard. It was even colder than yesterday, but the feeding activity in my yard on this clear morning was much less intense than on during yesterday's snowfall.

The grounds of St. Mary Church in Littleton had 1 fly over Cassin's Finch, 6 Red Crossbills (Type 5), 4 Evening Grosbeaks flying over, and a flock of 28 Bushtits. A flock of Cedar Waxwings, too.

That is three "types" of Red Crossbills at this urban location in a week or so (Types 2, 4 and 5), suggesting all are wandering.

Cooley Lake in South Plate Park had a lot of waterfowl and gulls, with 2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls amid the flocks. A Bald Eagle perched near the lake.
