Hello, Birders. Yesterday afternoon, Sunday, Feb. 7, Andrew Floyd and I had pretty much the whole Denver Zoo to ourselves. Well, us and the animals. I wonder why... ;-)
We found a number of interesting birds, including an apparent *mottled duck x mallard* hybrid, a *white-throated sparrow,* 8 *common grackles,* a *merlin,* 13 *Indian peafowl,* and 2+ *brown creepers.* Over at nearby City Park, a *graylag goose* consorted with the *cackling geese* and *Canada geese,* and Ferril Lake was aswarm with noisy *northern shovelers,* the males' pea-green heads aglow in the setting sun. Call it the green flash, haha.
