I led a group of 32 people on our second monthly "Birding The Big Thompson" walk today. We upped our species count from 22 last month to 25 this month. Temperature were a chilly 10 degrees, but we still had plenty of open water.
Species seen: Ring-billed Gull American Crow Northern Flicker Canada Goose European Starling Belted Kingfisher House Finch & Sparrow Blue Jay American Robins - everywhere Mallards Bald Eagle - flushed hundreds of geese off the ponds across from the river. American Goldfinch in their sneaky winter colors. White-crowned Sparrow Red-tail Hawk Cackling Geese American Coot Northern Shoveler Cedar Waxwing BC Chickadee Brown Creeper White-breasted Nuthatch Great Blue Heron Downy Woodpecker and A very dull Myrtle Yellow-rumped Warbler. About 10 of gathered at the local Starbucks to swap bird tales, thaw out and dream of next month.
