Hello all, Mike Henwood and I went to the Simpson Ponds State Wildlife Area to look for the Rusty Blackbirds reported earlier. Around 1 to 1:30 PM, we found two Rusty Blackbirds. One was perched in a tree where the small tributary flows from the frozen pond to the river. The other was on a fallen tree in the river east of the tributary. We also saw a Virginia Rail foraging along the edge of the river, and several (at least 3, and perhaps as many as 5) Audubon's Yellow-rumped Warblers.
We also saw the two previously reported Harlan's Red-tailed Hawks from northern Boulder County: a light adult at the corner of No. 75th and St. Vrain Rd., and a dark bird along Hygiene Rd. just east of 61st. Bob Andrews Englewood, CO
