Saw the posts about the Black-throated Grey Warbler and figured that would be a good spot to walk this morning. Starting from the Arapahoe bridge, the Dipper was hanging out under the bridge, and it stopped for a few minutes to groom, which allowed me to get some pretty good looks. Heading up the path, I didn't see any large flocks of warblers, or much of anything else for awhile except a few robins and grackles. When I was almost up to 30th, I turned around and walked back downstream. I saw a few Black-Capped Chickadees in the trees, and then the Warbler was there. After watching it for a few minutes, it disappeared into the trees again. Whiile I was there, I thought I would check the ponds that are close to Foothills Parkway. No ducks to speak of, a few Canadian Geese, a Kingfisher and some swallows. At the last pond, as I walked down towards it to get a better look along the pond, a Green Heron flushed out of the reeds and flew towards the south end of the pond. I walked down to that end after a little while, and it popped out of the reeds again and flew back to the north end of the pond, disappearing into the reeds again. A Pied-Bill Grebe was diving in that pond as well. Along the little creek that runs in that area were a few White-Crowned Sparrows, a few House Finches, and more Grackles and Red-Winged Blackbirds.
