[cobirds] Dippers at South Platte Park

We viewed, took photos and recorded the pair of American Dippers from the bike path under the Mineral Avenue bridge over the South Platte River today. The pair were actively feeding and diving and singing while we watched for about 20 minutes. They put on quite a show. Here is our eBird checklist with photos and a recording.

We also had a Ruby-crowned Kinglet on the east side of the river just south of the same bridge.

We have also had 2 competing male Song Sparrows trying to claim territory in our backyard the last 3 days. And I heard the Spotted Towhee singing for the first time this morning. Is spring really in the air already?
