My wife and I did a birding by bike trip along the Fountain Creek Regional trail.
Ran into Bill Maynard who put me on a new bird for this park, for me: gray catbird. Thanks Bill. Of note: . Snowy Egrets (2) . Black-crowned Night-Heron . Wilson's Phalarope . Loads of yellow-rumps; both races; couldn't find another species of warbler. . Lots of house wrens Complete list below.
