Hello! I've been birding in east Denver's (Lowry neighborhood) Westerly Creek Wetlands (sadly, this urban wetlands is slated for retail/industrial development per recent approval of Denver City Council). Spring is everywhere -- despite the meteorological roller-coaster ride that is March on the Front Range.
Bird species I've seen over the past two days at the Westerly Creek Wetlands (via the Lowry Sports Complex Park trailhead at East Bayaud and Fairmount Drive in Lowry): American Robin, American Coot, American Wigeon, American Kestrel, American Crow, Black-billed Magpie, Red-tailed Hawk, Red-winged Blackbird, Canada Goose, Cackling Goose, Mallard, Green-winged Teal, Cinnamon Teal, Redhead, Ring-necked Duck, Western Meadowlark, House Finch, House Sparrow, Rock Pigeon, Dark-eyed Junco, Northern Shoveler, Northern Flicker, Great Blue Heron, Gadwall, Killdeer, and Common Goldeneye. There was probably more -- but I'm a novice. Of course, these are all "common Colorado birds" -- but such a joy to hear and see. I didn't capture everything by photo - but I did catch a few of the birds: http://picasaweb.google.com/timshel40/WesterlyCreekWetlandsDenverMarch22232010# Have a great day! I'll probably be shoveling snow later!
