Hi CoBirders -- Great day for bird-biking yesterday. Saw 9 Rusty Blackbirds with David Dowell at reported location along S. Platte River just north of the I-270 overpass. A few hundred yards upstream from the confluence with Sand Creek were five Black-crowned Night Herons (3 ad., 2 juv.) just hanging out low in a tree below the bike path.
At Sloans Lake I saw a Red-breasted Merganser and a Canvasback, among others (no hybrid goose). Along the South Platte River between Confluence Park and Globeville Landing I saw four more Red-breasted Mergansers (3 m., 1 f.). Two days ago I got a haircut from a low-flying Brown Creeper in front of East High School. Today I saw a Northern Shrike at Bluff Lake. Great weather for birding, Chris Rurik Denver, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
