COBirders,
I was out with my boys today just mostly "messing" around as boys do but we did
have a couple of nice birds. The first one was me messing around as you
typically don't go to a cemetery to do such. We had actually just been at
Prospect Lake/Memorial Park and did a quick drive through to see what was going
on in there. It was as birdy as I have ever had it but we did not stay long.
The second warbler I saw was a white-lored YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER. It stayed
in the pines the whole time. The only other birds in the pines with it were
some BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEEs. See directions below.
Next we went to Hanson Nature Area (AKA Area 7 of Fountain Creek Regional
Park). We were standing between the two small ponds that are on the west side
of Fountain Creek and a BELL'S VIREO came in to check us out. There were
certainly other birds in the area but nothing of note. Well, I did hear one
bird chipping that would not come out of the dense cover that I am still unsure
of what it was.
For directions I made a simple Google Map, just click on the legend area to
bring up the locations and you can zoom in to see where we saw these birds.
Note that they are paving the streets around Hanson. I also added the BAIRD'S
SPARROW area onto the map so for any of you still thinking about going and want
some visual directions you can use this map.
