I followed up on the report of the Pine Warbler at Denver West. I'd never been there before, and sort of expected a hunt for a needle in a pine grove. But as it turned out the *Pine Warbler* appeared within 6 minutes of my arrival! (First noted about 9:30 am) It was in trees along Cole Blvd to the west of Building 6, esp around a light pole with the number 08 over 48. This is several 100 yards west of where it was reported yesterday, but I assume it is the same bird. That area west of Building 6 and a circuit to Building 7 and in Lena Gulch area had great activity with approx 300 *Am. Robins*, 70 *Cedar Waxwings*, an adult *Nor. Goshawk*, *Merlin*, 4 *Brown Creepers*, 14 *Red-breasted Nuts*, 1 *Ruby-crowned Kinglet*, 1 *Mourning Dove*, and fly overs of three each of *Red Crossbills *(Type 2) and *Cassin's Finches*. The greatest activity was west of Building 6, though.
Later I went east to South Prince Road north of Deer Trail, Arapahoe Co., following up on reports longspurs. Between County Road 18 and Stanford I found large numbers of *Horned Larks*, with approx 120 *Lapland Longspurs*, 4 *Chestnut-collared* and 1 *McCown's*. One *Snow Bunting* flew over with longspurs just north of CR 18. David Suddjian Littleton, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
