Hi Cobirders. A short trip to the Wheat Ridge Green Belt at noon today. Over the bridge and just to the right on the nature trail there is a Bushtit nest in small tree not leafed out yet to the left of the trail about 6 feet high. It is behind several dead leaves in the branches. I saw the the Bushtits moving in the nearby trees. at least two. I leaned upon the tree and watched the 8" cylinder nest and saw one of the Bushtits quickly slip into it. This the first Bushtit nest I have seen and also the first ever Bushtits seen at the Green Belt. People pass on the trail often and I think they don't seem to be bothered. Shows even if you have been going to a place many many times something new can still show up. Another DFO couple showed up there and I was able to show them.
