This morning (11/4) I enjoyed rambling and roaming in my home area of Ken Caryl Ranch (Jefferson). Best find was an adult *Golden-crowned Sparrow* near Dutch Creek at the Dakota Hogback. The same area had a *Harris's Sparrow*. A short way south of there between the Dakota and Lyons hogbacks I noted *Merlin* and tardy *Rock Wren* and *Vesper Sparrow*. Further upstream along Dutch Creek there was a straggling *Lincoln's Sparrow*. The upper watershed area of Massey Draw had Type 4 *Red Crossbills*, a lower than usual *Clark's Nutcracker*, and a *Cassin's Finch*. At least 2 *Ferruginous Hawks* passed south over Ken Caryl Valley early this morning. Lots of *Am. Tree Sparrows* were around today, and I heard flight calls from migrants before dawn.
Rattlesnake Gulch at Deer Creek Canyon Open Space (JeffCo) had a late *Gray Catbird*. At South Platte Park (Arapahoe) there was a *Common Loon* and a late *Spotted Sandpiper* at Eaglewatch Lake. Nearby South Platte Reservoir also had a *Common Loon*. Indeed, the loon was the only waterbird in evidence on that body of water.
