I conducted some bird surveys in north central Colorado this week. Some highlights were the following; Routt National Forest (approximate area, Cty Rd 24 and FR 625) In this area there was extensive bark beetle damage. American Three-toed Woodpecker Boreal Owl Northern Goshawk (it seemed like it was carrying food) Red-naped Sapsucker Green-tailed Towhee Wilson’s Warbler MacGillivray’s Warbler Great Blue Heron (nice to see mid elevation riparian habitat) Belted Kingfisher (also nice to see in mid elevation riparian habitat) Dusky Flycatcher Ring-necked Duck Cassin’s Finch
Colorado State Forest (Gould Trail area) While walking among the willows I ran into a female Moose with two young. Wilson’s snipe (very vocal) Williamson’s Sapsucker Pine Grosbeak Pingree Park Rd and Pennock creek area. White-breasted Nuthatch (nest cavity in a ponderosa pine with a juvi in it) Townsend’s Solitaire (this bird was very vocal and it flew over head singing while flying in sharp erratic turns with its wings spread). Common Nighthawk Brown Creeper Williamson’s Sapsucker Red-breasted Nuthatch Rob Sparks --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Colorado County Birding: http://www.coloradocountybirding.com/ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
