Re: [cobirds] Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Jefferson County

Many roads have not changed (birds can...over time), but you might try "A Birder's Guide to Colorado (ABA/Lane Birdfinding Guide) 4th Edition".  You can order this online from many vendors.

This book was the "bible" many years ago and gives turn-by-turn directions to MANY great Colorado birding areas AND then tells you what you may see once you arrive.  Bonus are the bar charts at the back...when used by newer birders it can help keep a birder from reporting birds that are not likely that time of year (for example, vireos of any kind in February, etc.).

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Oftentimes, I have no clue where exactly to go to see a bird. A lot of times, it is my first visit to the area. Many times, I have absolutely no idea where to park. 

If only all hotspots came with your wonderful set of directions!

The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker that was reported a few days ago (thanks to who found it) continues today. It is along the Bear Creek Greenbelt, ebird hotspot is Kipling to Wadsworth, you can park in the large parking lot just of Estes St, which can be access from Yale (Called the Stone House on Google Maps). The bird is in some pines at the Lakewood City Open Space maintenance area. I am not sure if you can go there so  I saw it from across the river. If you walk under Estes underpass (west) their will be a dirt area that over looks the river not far up stream. From their I got a distant look at the bird.

 Again I am not sure if you can walk around the Lakewood maintenance area which is directly across Estes street. The tree is in the fenced area.

The area is good for other birds also, I found 9 Blue Jays in a single tree. I think that is the most I have seen in a single tree together.

Good Birding
