What a beautiful walk today (actually Wednesday) in Chatfield State Park, south
of King Fisher bridge and east of S. Platte River.
The predominant birds were yellow warblers, spotted towhees, broad tailed
hummingbirds and house wrens. I saw only 4 yellow rumped warblers. There were
white breasted nuthatches, a yellow breasted chat, a say’s phoebe and
meadowlarks.
For drama, a broad tailed hummingbird came within a few inches of my ear
as he was finishing the downward dive of his courtship loop. I would never say
that it scared the ____ out of me... Also, a bald headed eagle flew into a tree
20 yards from me, something I still find thrilling.
(In addition, there was my uncertain viewing of a painted redstart —see
previous post. )
Thanks, Deb Carstensen
