A team of six of us completed the Nunn CBC yesterday. First off, it was a gorgeous day out on the grasslands. Temperatures were mild for December and we had little wind, which made for good birding. 30 species included:
- Cackling Goose (new for the count) - Canada Goose - Golden Eagle - Bald Eagle - Red-tailed Hawk - Rough-legged Hawk - Ferruginous Hawk - Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon) - Eurasian Collared-Dove - Great Horned Owl - Downy Woodpecker - Northern Flicker - American Kestrel - Merlin - Prairie Falcon - Northern Shrike - Blue Jay - Black-billed Magpie - Common Raven - Horned Lark - Mountain Bluebird (new for the count) - Townsend's Solitaire - American Robin (112 was a high count; Fort Collins also had an AMRO high count this year) - European Starling (also a high count) - Lapland Longspur - Snow Bunting (last count sighting in 1996) - American Tree Sparrow - Dark-eyed Junco (Slate-colored) - Song Sparrow - Western Meadowlark - House Sparrow There are still many more counts between now and January 4th to participate in. Happy holidays! -Robert Beauchamp Fort Collins -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
