We headed up to Genesee Park on I-70 on Saturday 3 July and immediately found the male and female Williamson¹s Sapsuckers where we left them last year. They are in the big Ponderosa near the flagpole, feeding young in the nest hole. Very active and easy to see.
The only other nesting birds in the area seemed to be the Pygmy Nuthatches feeding young in a nest hold in a tree nearer the flagpole and House Wrens very active in the same area. Earlier in the week, we saw the Burrowing Owls on our way to the airport off Pena Boulevard near the E470 exist to the east. Look for the big prairie dog colonies along an old fence line. They are very reliable at this site. We¹ve been seeing them for at least 7-8 years (we go to the airport that often!). Last year we saw four young at the nest so we¹re hoping for young again this year.
