I had a successful trip to Sedalia looking for the Three-toed Woodpecker. I only managed to get one definite and one possible bird, but I had a lot of other species to keep me company.
Great Horned Owl - 2 perched on poles on the ride up 67 (I was there as it was just getting light) Nuthatches - All three current Colorado species Red-tailed Hawk Crows and Ravens Evening Grosbeak - A flock of 18 Red Crossbills - A micro flock (how many in a micro? In this case 3-5 birds of mixed gender) Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers to go along with the Three-toed Townsend's Solitaire - several flying, perched, and calling If there are any nuthatch lovers or just people that want to study them, this is definitely one of the places to be. The were swarming all over the place, calling, and giving great eye-level views and wonderful comparisons to each other (and to the Mountain Chickadees hanging out with them). Quick public service announcement to anyone thinking of looking at my Flicker site. If you like tiny rodents, DON'T.
