Hello, Birders. About 15 of us with the Boulder Bird Club visited Walden Ponds and adjacent Sawhill Ponds earlier this evening, Thursday, May 14th. Our highlight was a ghostly Barn Owl in loping flight right in front of us at dusk. It was a brief look, but it was great. Other stuff out there: 3 Wood Ducks, 1 Ring-necked Duck still hanging on, 1 Pied-billed Grebe singing in the dark, 1 Great Egret, 1 Green Heron, 1 Black-crowned Night-Heron calling in the dark, 1 Osprey with a fish, 1 Lesser Yellowlegs, and 1 Great Horned Owl.
An interesting sight was a drake Cinnamon teal paired with a hen that was either mainly or entirely a Blue-winged Teal. We donated a lot of blood to the mosquitoes, and they donated West Nile Virus to us.
