All:
Two white winged doves are present in the Gunbarrel area along
the Cottontail Trail. The Cottontail Trail can be accessed from 71st st.
in Gunbarrel near Lookout Road. Go East from that access point. OR you
can also access the Cottontail Trail from neighborhoods off of Park Lane
Road. This is the 2nd year I've noticed this species in this
neighborhood, but I've never found a nest site.
White winged doves have a distinctive call different from the dozens of
Eurasian collared doves in the area; if you have a good ear. Also
visually, look for the long white shoulder patches visible when the birds
are perched.
Effectively you can see 4 dove species in this area. But the Eurasian's
outnumber all the others combined.
In Boulder County: House wrens are back, along with barn swallows, and a
multitude of common grackles, pelicans, turkey vultures, mourning doves,
and killdeers.
