I have to share how dramatic the change in bird numbers and number of species present was this morning at Standley Lake's Loon Lake (on the northeast end of the Standley Lake Open Space in Jeffco). Loon Lake has had species counts under 10 for many weeks. This morning I had 17, including a juvenile Cedar Waxwing! I bird this pond several times a week and have never seen one here before. Also, the sheer number of birds was about 8-10x higher than it's been in a long time and there was a tremendous amount of singing and activity. It was so fun!
I finally dragged myself away and moved on to the north shore, where I found a Tennessee Warbler - lifer! Not quite the dramatic increase in birds on the norht shore as at Loon Lake, but still a good variety.
