At the intersection of St. Vrain Rd. and Airport Rd. I saw what I first thought might be ibis in the field since there has been of flock of 50 in the area for awhile. Not, ibis, but seven Turkey Vultures feeding on three different carcases . I scoped the vultures to try and identify what they were eating, but I could not make it out. It seemed old though. One of the TVs then used an old corn stalk to scrape of its bill. Also, the TVs feet were caked in mud so it looked like they were walking around with shoes on.
While scoping the vultures I noticed American Pipits in the field also. As I scoped around the field I had one to two pipits it my scope on every part of the field. Not sure how many pipits/sq. yard this makes. On a final note, driving across the St. Vrain river I saw a bird fly up stream that looked good for a Lewis's Woodpecker , but I was unable to stop or turn around to get a better look.
