Cobirders, This afternoon, I went to Genesee Park [exit I-70 west of Denver] for my annual Williamson's Sapsucker. Parked in the parking lot. The road to the top of the mountain where there is a historic Flagpole is still blocked at the Parking Lot. I crossed the wire gate and started to walk up the road. I heard the familiar hard, sharp pecking, three taps, three taps,three taps of the Sapsucker near the large covered group picnic barn. I saw through a hole in the trees the top of the telephone pole just northeast of the barn a pair of Williamson's in bright sunlight; the male just below the top pecking once in while; the female was at the edge of top of pole a few inches away. I potential prize photograph but I did not have my camera. I have heard and seen the Sapsuckers here for many years. They also nest to the east of the road where the pavement ends and in a dead tree at the top west of the Flagpole. I also saw many Western Bluebirds, Mountain Chickadees, 1 Townsend Solitaire, Crows, Robins, and Pygmy Nuthatches. Peaceful birding, Warren Finch Lakewood **************The Average US Credit Score is 692. See Yours in Just 2 Easy Steps!
