Just wanted to post some interesting finds the last few days:
Northern Pygmy-Owl - CO SH-78 just north of San Isabel (Pueblo County)
1/10
Dark Morph Ferruginous Hawk - 42nd St in Evans (Weld County) 1/12
Chipping Sparrow - I found this seasonally challenged bird at Red
Rocks Park (Jefferson County) 1/13
Other lifers found:
Mountain Chickadee - same area as the Northern Pygmy Owl
Western Scrub-Jay - Red Rocks Park
Spotted Towhee - Red Rocks Park
(No, I did not find the Golden-Crowned Sparrow)
Pine Grossbeak - Allenspark
(No, I did not find any Rosy-Finches)
Saw some Short-Eared Owls (~3) along CR-48 south of Lower Latham
Reservoir, but did not get any shots.
