Hi birders,
Janet and I enjoyed a couple of full days of birding. It was great except for the extremely cold weather! We mostly followed Richard Stevens & Jurgen Lehnert's route.
Highlights:
Sunday, 1/13/2013
Blue River Water Treatment Plant, Summit County
40 Barrow's Goldeneyes
Kremmling, Grand County: birds spread across town but especially at Gore and 9th avenue, view back of houses from 9th
190+ Common Redpolls
1 Hoary Redpoll; for sure
Rosy Finches; three species; about 150 birds, 14 blacks
Colorado State Forest, Jackson County
Rosy Finches; no Blacks, 111 birds
Cassin's Finches
Pine Grosbeaks
Monday 1/14/2013
Started east around 5:00 am
Boreal Owl; one or two heard just west of Cameron Pass
Searched several Campgrounds along highway 14 for Northern Pygmy Owls. None found
Fort Collins Museum, Larimer County
80+ Common Redpolls
2 possible Hoary Redpolls (we did not go into museum and had to view from below feeders, which is not the best angle to see rumps
Teller Farms/White Rock Trails; Boulder County
Golden-crowned Sparrow
Harris's Sparrow
White-crowned Sparrows
Parkside Center Pond; Broomfield County
1st year Thayer's Gull
4th cycle Lesser Black-backed Gull
Valmont Reservoir; Boulder County
Tundra Swans
adult Thayer's Gull
interesting very white Gull; Thayer's Gulls or Iceland Gull???
We skipped Lefthand Canyon Drive, as several birders have not found the Northern Pygmy Owl again.
Good birding!
