Hi All,
Today Urling Kingery and I took a Beginning Birder group to Red Rocks
and Bear Creek Lake Park (BCLP). Highlights included seeing a White-
throated Sparrow (adult, white-striped morph) among a small flock of
American Tree Sparrows (10-15) along with one 1st year White-crowned
Sparrow. The American Tree Sparrows were the first I have seen this
fall. The sparrows were in the shrubby willows between the parking
lot and lake at the Boat Launch area in BCLP. At Pelican Point in
BCLP we had glimpses of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. At Red Rocks the
group was able to get good looks at a Prairie Falcon on the backside
of Ship Rock (Upper South Parking Lot) and a Canyon Wren in the small
canyon just south and below the Trading Post feeders.
Nothing out of the ordinary at the feeders behind the Red Rocks
Trading Post - Spotted Towhee, Song Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow,
juncos, Western Scrub Jay, Black-capped Chickadee, House Finch, &
House Sparrow. Good numbers of Townsend's Solitaires in Red Rocks
Park.
