Had to bail on a further afield birding adventure this morning (Thurs., 16 May’24) to take care of some stuff here at the house (Athmar Park, SW Denver, Denver Co.), so a little bummed. However, Karma does exist and has come into play as we’ve had a pretty busy morning so far around here including a very surprising LEWIS’S WOODPECKER flying over our deck as we were having breakfast. While this specific bird will likely not be repeatable, I bring this up to the group as good numbers of Lewis’s can often be seen over broad areas if they happen to move in, so keep your eyes open.
Good Birding,
Doug
