To all, After a chilly morning from about 10-11A at Red Rocks Trading Post with Harris's, White throated, and Golden Crowned Sparrows, Curve Billed Thrasher, and all 3 species of Rosy Finches, we went to Chatfield.
We were able to initially find a Lapland Longspur mixed with a flock of about 25 Horned Larks at the Model Airplane Field, and a Thayer's Gull and single Red Breasted Merganser at the reservoir. After a lunch break, we had been told of and found a prairie falcon roosting in cottonwoods along the Highline Canal, near the model airplane field, from the parking lot near the south entrance to Chatfield. Returning to the marina at Chatfield, from the handicapped fisherman's point, we were at last able to find both the Red Necked Grebe (near the dam, behind the scads of Common Mergs and Common Goldeneyes, etc) and one of the reported Glaucous Gulls (resting nearer to the tower, close to the dam face). Happy New Year of birding, Cheryl Teuton and Dan Brooke -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
