It is not uncommon for a mute swan to show up from the Polo club which is
next-door to South platte park.

Hugh,
I too saw this bird and posted about it - I was informed it’s an escaped
domestic from the Polo Club grounds. I was sad - thought I’d found a
rarity!
I’ve seen it from the Mineral Ave sidewalk regularly for about the last two
months...

Paul Malinowski sent a photo of a Mute Swan that he saw on Cooley Lake, South
Platte Park. (If Cooley is the first lake north of Mineral & west of the
river). He saw it, I think, Dec. 9.
Have other seen this bird? Does it remain?
Did it escape from somewhere? Does it qualify as a 'wild'
Hi all
The Inaugural Crow Valley CBC count happened yesterday. Fair weather. I am
still awaiting one section's results. For now these species reported so far:
Horned Lark
Lapland Longspur (Willow Creek)
Golden Eagle
Long-eared Owl (Willow Creek)
American Tree Sparrow
Dark-eyed Junco
Every day for the last several weeks, about half an hour before sunrise,
about 500 gulls (probably more) have flown over my house from West to East,
very high. And often I see at least 100 flying East to West about half an
hour after sunset. Does anyone have any idea where they're coming from
Was watching a Hairy hopping along a branch when all of a sudden an adult
female YBSA popped into view. Stayed around for a good 15 minutes giving
me views from all angles. It is the 3rd time I've seen it this month, so
perhaps it's staying around. (1809 E. Tufts)
