Leisure Walk Around Rocky Mountain Arsenal

June 22, 2012

Richard Stevens:

Rebecca Kosten and I took a leisurely walk around the Rocky Mountain Arsenal (Adams). 

A Virginia Rail answered our recording played at the southwest corner of Lake Ladora.  A few Song Sparrows sang from the cattails.  A Burrowing Owl was building a nest in a nearby cottonwood tree (is it getting late for that? we wondered).

Several Western Kingbirds were spotted along the south side of the lake.  A Cassin's Kingbird surprised us when he was fly catching at the southeast corner of the lake (D Street & Sixth Avenue).

Few additional species were observed during our 3 hour hike.  Nothing uncommon crossed our path.
