This morning I went birding along the South Platte Mary Carter Greenway, my patch, and at the Northern Wildlife area I found a female Cassin's Finch with a large mixed group of House Finches, American Tree Sparrows and a Song Sparrow. I have not yet found a Cassin's in this area over the years so it was exiting to discover one. Probably came down from the mountains which are not far for a bird. This was the northern end of the Northern Wildlife area near a small split rail fence with a keep out of area sign, warning of weed control. Northern Wildlife area can be reached by either parking at the Carson Nature Center and walking north or at Reynold's Landing and walking south, you can't drive to it.
At the near by South Platte Reservoir the Surf and White Winged Scoters continue also.
Good birding,
Brian Johnson,
Englewood CO
