Hi - I am a new member and wanted to report bird sightings. If this is not where I am supposed to send information, could you please send this to the proper person? Thank you.
On May 27, there were the following birds in the pond across the street from Stearns Lake around 1 p.m.: several pairs of northern shovelers, one snowy egret (last Friday there were six); six long-billed dowitchers, and an avocet. In the bushes there were a loggerhead shrike, and a yellow-rumped warbler At Lake Wanaka (in Greenlee naturalized area) there were several avocets, a pair of cinnamon teals, green-winged teals, four pairs of wood ducks, belted kingfisher (male), several killdeer and a few blue-winged teals. There is also a Swainson's hawk nest between the main lake and the naturalized area. If anyone wants to see the wood ducks (they are gorgeous) do it soon because after the reeds grow out the wood ducks rarely come out of them. On 95th Street where the Boulder Creek goes under it I got some good pix of a beautiful osprey. I think it has a nest out there but I could not find it. I also saw bald eagles flying past. On Weld County Rd 19-1/2 I found a wild turkey feeding in someone's field. Hi - I am a new member and am not sure this is how to submit bird sightings, so if this is not where to send them, please forward this to the appropriate person. On May 12 in the pond across the street from Stearns Lake there were the following birds: snowy egret (only one today, Friday there were six); 6 long-billed dowitchers, and several pairs of northern shovelers. In the bushes nearby, there was a loggerhead shrike, and a female yellow-rumped warbler. There is a hawk's nest in a pasture south of the pond at the end of the road. I have pix of the young in the nest, but haven't figured out what kind of hawks they are. At Wanake Lake (in Greenlee naturalized area) there were two avocets, four pairs of wood ducks, a pair of cinnamon teals, several pair of blue-winged and green-winged teals, two American avocets, a pair of belted kingfishers. If anyone wants to see the wood ducks, you should do it soon because after the reeds grow tall, the wood ducks rarely come out of them. There also is a Swainson's hawk nest on the north side of the main lake.
