This afternoon I saw 3 Snow Geese flying above Dept of Corrections property east of Canon City where they appeared to be circling to land, these are the first white geese I have seen in this area this season. The 15 Greater White-fronted Geese are still around--I saw them in the ag fields in front of the dairy off of Willow St between Grand and Elm last week and on Sell's Lake (near Canon City Riverwalk Sell's Lake parking area) late yesterday.
Over the week-end I found another adult female Yellow-bellied Sapsucker on private property and two more juvenile Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers-one at Lakeside Cemetery and the other at the Abbey. That makes a total of 5 Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers that are in Canon City now. I have uploaded photos of the two new juveniles onto by Birds and Nature<http://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com>blog. Last year was clearly the year of the Williamson's Sapsucker in and around Canon City but this year is turning out to be a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker year. Also over the week-end I found a juvenile Prairie Falcon on the far north side of Canon City, an area dominated by cholla and little remaining grassland.
