Richard Stevens:
After an early dinner in Parker, Rebecca Kosten and I drove through Castlewood Canyon State Park (Douglas County). At least one Bobolink remains in the field south of the Winkler Ranch entrance (along Castlewood Canyon Road about a mile south of the State Park).
We also saw several Spotted Towhees, Western Scrub-Jays, a Common Yellowthroat and a Grasshopper Sparrow. No Northern Saw-whet Owls could be "awakened".
One of the male Black-chinned Hummingbirds continues to "look around" at the top of the trees east of the ranger's office at Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe).
The Lesser Black-backed Gull was again among many Ring-billed and California Gulls. The California Gull mantle's are in many "shades"; the Lesser Black-backed Gull is definite much darker. Do not forget the bright yellow bill with red spot!
American White Pelican and Gull numbers are increasing daily. No terns were around today.
