Today's monthly Walk the Wetlands hike at the Denver Audubon Nature Center at Chatfield produced some interesting numbers. ` In a mile and a half along the South Platte River, we counted 14 singing Least Flycatchers -- more than I've ever encountered in one day in Colorado.
In the same stretch, we counted 37 Cedar Waxwings, soaring over the river in flycatching sorties -- more than I've ever encountered in one day in Coloardo, in summer. Another highlight of the 3-mile walk: a soaring Broad-winged Hawk. With several recent Cobirds reports, we may have a pair or two breeding somewhere along the Front Range. We hope that anyone who encounters them will post them on Cobirds and on the Colorado Breeding Bird Atlas website. In all, we counted 43 species, 339 individuals.
