For those that like cute little tykes:
There are 3 Common Merganser females and 12 chicks floating around in the pond that goes under the road to the High School in Lyons. Surprisingly, even with new kayaking courses nearby, and a canoe on the lake most of the time, they have managed to breed there Again this year. >From the Diamond Shamrock gas station on the east end of Lyons, just 1/3 mile west of the intersection of 36 and 66, it is the First major road south across the creek, and the pond is immediately there. There is an American Dipper nest under the creek bridge, but Haven't seen them with the water up so high. 1 miles straight west, in Meadow Park, a golden eagle is nesting up on the face of The south cliff; at least 1 chick, although I haven't looked for it in a while. BTW, we've had a blondish Black Bear up in our neighborhood for the last week or so. And like everyone else, we had a brief (4 min.) visit >From a red-headed woodpecker up here in the open Ponderosa a couple of weeks ago. Davis - at 6,000 ft., 4 mi.
