While watching one of the male Williamson's Sapsuckers in Rouse Park today I heard Red-breasted Nuthatch calls and saw 2 of this species, that are pretty uncommon in Canon City, in some blue spruce trees.
In the two very busy elm trees near Canon City where there were 3 female and 1 male Williamson's Sapsuckers today, 2 Juniper Titmice and several Mountain Chickadees took advantage of the hundreds (maybe thousands) of fresh sap wells. If that wasn't more birds than these trees should have to host, 2 Townsend's Solitaires that apparently didn't want to miss the party stopped in for a brief time. The Pacific Loon was still at Brush Hollow Reservoir. During the short time I watched it, the loon appeared to be swimming away from the two motorized fishing boats and avoiding the several groups of fishermen on the shore. The Common Goldeneye that I saw there yesterday had left. I forgot to mention yesterday that I saw one-two Sage Thrashers a few miles from Brush Hollow Reservoir in semi-arid juniper-grassland-cholla habitat.
