Today I stopped at the 1-76/Platte River trail in Adams County to try to refind the Rusty Blackbirds. It took a bit of searching but I did finally locate them right underneath the pedestrian bridge crossing the Platte River just north of I-76. The birds flew underneath the bridge and headed a bit further north up the river. I counted a total of 11 RUBB. However, these weren't the most surprising birds of the day. A pair of White Pelicans were lounging the in the shallows along with well over 500 various and assorted ducks.
Other notable birds included a male kingfisher, two bald eagles, a pair of killdeer, and a pair of Barrow's Goldeneyes. Duck diversity was excellent and a few song birds were even present. All in all, not a bad way to spend an hour before work this morning. Chris Goulart Aurora, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
