DFO Trip - First Creek at Denver Open Space - Denver County 30 April 2017 DFO members warmed up for the upcoming big month by heading out for a five hour walk at First Creek. It started out cold, ended up windy, and in between there were over 50 species seen. Some of the highlights included Great Horned and Barn Owls, four Solitary Sandpipers, two Willets, three Least Sandpipers, and a Baird's Sandpiper. There was also a Mountain Bluebird and a Northern Mockingbird that Rebecca Laroche found for us. Raptors were pretty much anywhere you looked in the sky and all of the Horned Larks and several American Pipits kept things interesting. The funny thing is, this spot will be so much better in just a few weeks. There are still many species that haven't arrived yet.
