[cobirds] 32-species bike ride to Tucker Gulch / Jeffco

Deb and I rode from the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt trailhead at Youngfield and I-70 out to Tucker Gulch, Golden.  A little over 5 mi each way.

On the ponds near the highway, we had Yellow-headed Blackbird, Blue-winged teal, Eastern Kingbird, among others.

At Tucker Gulch, among many others, we encountered:

Yellow Warbler

Yellow-rumped Warbler

Am. Goldfinch

Lesser Goldfinch

Western Wood-Pewee

Swainson's Thrush

Gray Catbird

Black-headed Grosbeak

Western Tanager

Black-chinned Hummingbird

I think it would be fair to characterize Tucker Gulch as "the best 50 yards of birding in Colorado."  It has produced some noteworthy sightings over the last few years, requires zero exertion, and even has a little library along the path.
