Birders, Tammy and I got out to Chatfield around noon to see everything that Loch reported. No luck on the BT Sparrow (as reported by others) but we did have 6 Long-billed Curlews flyover the model airplane field as we were looking for the sparrow.
There were bluebirds almost everywhere with the biggest concentration of Western Bluebirds east of the marina and on the road south of there where the Rusty Blackbirds were last year and the parking lot is flooded. As Tammy was rescuing wet and cold Mountain Bluebirds that were trying to get out of the rain and snow near the outhouse east of the marina, Bill Kaempfer came along and showed us the Rusty Blackbird found earlier by Spencer. 2 of the bluebirds were already dead but she picked up 2 still living and we took them to a rehabilitator in Lakewood. Unfortunately 1 had alread died by the time we got there and we hope Shelby can save the one that was still living. Our Mountain Ash tree has been full of Robins all day.
