[cobirds] Chatfield

Had a few minutes to bird Chatfield this morning.  Lake is like glass, and not very many birds on it.  I spotted nothing unusual.  Not very many landbirds either, but there were a handful of singing Townsend's Solitaires, which I always enjoy.  I was startled by a flushing Long-eared Owl.  It gave me the usual look at it's tail and lower back as it flushed around the back side of it's cedar, but then obliged me with a nice flight back and forth in the open space and across the road.  Last, but not least, were two adult bald eagles perched high in a cottonwood along the Highline Trail at the south entrance.
