Hello, Birders. A few odds and ends from Boulder County, yesterday, Friday, Jul. 26th:
1. In the Wild Basin area of Rocky Mountain National Park, along the entrance road just beyond Copland Lake, a fabulously cooperative American Six-toed Woodpecker. Look for the dead trees with flaked bark. Six-toes forage at around eye-level, so don't look up, look out. 2. At the Fawn Brook Inn [PRIVATE], a magnificent showing by the hummers. Hundreds of Broad-tails, a couple dozen Rufous, and a few Calliopes. The birds are eminently viewable from across the street. 3. Along Lookout Road, at the high-elevation point between 79th and 95th streets, a juvenile Burrowing Owl on the south side of the road. Look for the prairie dogs (a kind of mammal), and go from there. 4. At Cottonwood Marsh, decent shorebird habitat, with a few shorebirds: 3 Baird's Sandpipers, a nicely vocal Long-billed Dowitcher, and the breeding species (American Avocet, Spotted Sandpiper, Killdeer) still hanging on.
