We camped near a Lesser Prairie-Chicken lek (Baca). None showed up this morning. A few Cassin's Sparrows, many Vesper Sparrows, one Curve-billed Thrasher and one Short-eared Owl were the consolation.
When we returned to Denver, a text message informed us about the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher at Van Bibber Park in Arvada (Jefferson County).
My post to "cobirders":
Rebecca Kosten and I returned after a week in southeast Colorado. We heard about the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher and headed to Arvada.
I took about 30 photos before 2 Western Kingbirds chased the STFL. It was on the fence just north of the yellow fire hydrant where dirt and cement trails meet; good 1/2 mile west of parking area.
On the way home we stopped at Lowell Ponds. I got 3 distant photos of the Little Blue Heron who was walking the southeast shore of Heron Pond.
A pretty good half day back in Denver!
