Aurora Sports Park and Heading to the Mountains

May 31, 2013

Amy Davenport: transcript of telephone call:

Rebecca Kosten:

"Arapahoe County
Before we head to the mountain this afternoon, Richard Stevens and Bryan Ehlmann birded Sand Creek in the Aurora Sports Park. Anemometer readings are 21 mph with gusts to 34 mph.

As expected, few birds were moving around. They thought there was a MacGillivray's Warbler in the tickets. Closer inspection showed it to be a Hooded Warbler!

Location was 40 yards southwest of the corner of Sand Creek where it goes from south to north and turns east to west."

Davenport:

Richard and Rebecca headed up to Jackson County late in the afternoon. 

An American Three-toed Woodpecker was found along the eastern side of Chambers Lake.  Three-toed Woodpeckers have nested here in past years.

After dark, they heard two Boreal Owls near Cameron Pass.
