Cherry Creek State Park, Arapahoe:
Thurs 9/16: a small raft of 12 redheads off the Prairie Loop; sparrows at
turn from main road toward shooting range: 15 lark, 20 vesper, 2 savanna
Fri 9/17 most of these sparrows gone. 2 vesper, 3 lark, 2 song, but 80
plus house finches in the same vegetation
This count of sparrows far exceeds what I have seen there in the past three
years.
Unrelated item: At my feeder (Colorado Blvd and Orchard in Centennial), 10
days ago, I had a mountain chickadee. Whereas they are common nearer the
foothills (Tina Jones, Ira Sanders), I almost never get them this far out on
the plains, even in coldest winter.
