My dog and I walked Marjorie Perry Nature Preserve in Greenwood Village (Arapahoe Co.) this morning. The best birding was along the eastern edge of the preserve at around 8:00 a.m., where flocks of about a dozen (each) of House Finches, Cedar Waxwings, American Goldfinches, and Black-capped Chickadees marked the spot. Among them were Wilson's, Orange-crowned, and Yellow-rumped Warblers, White- and Red-breasted Nuthatches, Flickers, Downy Woodpeckers, Song Sparrows, House Wrens, a Western Tanager, a Green-tailed Towhee,a Red-naped Sapsucker, and, to my surprise, two Lewis's Woodpeckers.
I may have missed some birds among these. The conditions were poor for watching from the High Line Canal Trail; the sun was low and behind the birds. (I probably should have watched from the Greenwood Gulch Trail.) And I gave up on the spot too early to look for birds elsewhere at the preserve. Predictably, the rest of the area was quiet. By the time I got back to the original spot, things had died down, perhaps because two Cooper's Hawks and two Kestrels had arrived. I did not relocate the Lewis's on my way out of the preserve, and the Red-naped flew south into the residential area soon after I spotted it.
