I was going to do some birding in the mountains/foothills, but circumstances changed my plans. Since I was very much over dressed for birding around town, I kept things short. I have very little to note.
At Red Rocks, I saw only three Gray-crowned Rosy Finches and no Golden-crowned Sparrow. I wasn't really looking for the sparrow and I didn't stay long, so that means pretty much nothing. I missed an oregon junco, but all the other subspecies were accounted for. Along the South Platte, I only walked from the 74th Ave parking lot to about where 78th meets the trail. In between there, just over halfway from the 74th parking lot was a Harris's Sparrow spending time with all the Song and American Tree Sparrows. I'm about one day too early for it to count on the CBC week. Good luck re-finding that one, though. There is a very lengthy bit of good sparrow habitat to sort through. The bird wasn't singing but it was rather chatty with its chip notes. In the same area was a Yellow-rumped Warbler. All the usual ducks and raptors made appearances.
