Hello, Birders. Kei, Hannah, and Andrew, and I explored the Brainard Lake Recreation Area, Boulder County, earlier today, Friday, July 3rd. We saw far more humans than any other vertebrate species. But we did see a few birds up there, among them: 2 pairs of Lesser Scaups at Red Rock Lake. I wonder if they could be breeding there. (Last year, I had 1 male at the same site, on July 6th.) At least 4 singing Fox Sparrows in the willows along the south edge of Brainard Lake proper. A beautiful adult male American Three-toed Woodpecker at the monument to Chief Little Raven, south of Brainard Lake proper; the bird was low in the pines, never getting 5 feet above ground level. Plus the usual suspects: several small troupes of Gray Jays, a Hammond's Flycatcher, a Swainson's Thrush, etc. Ted Floyd [email protected] Lafayette, Boulder County, Colorado ------------------------------- Ted Floyd Editor, Birding ------------------------------- Please support the American Birding Association: Click on http://www.goodsearch.com/?charityid=884482 to search the internet.
