Richard Stevens:
We hit several birding locations in Sedgwick County today. Winds were down to 14 mph, gusts to 17 mph; temperatures were in the middle 50s.
A male Northern Cardinal was singing in Julesburg Wildlife Area (as we stood on the County Road 29 Bridge).
Ovid Sewage Ponds area had many sparrows. A Harris's Sparrow & White-throated Sparrow were picked out of four dozen+ White-crowned Sparrows.
While we did not see it today, a young male Purple Finch is coming to feeders in Ovid. Now and then, it will be seen in the northern Ovid Woods. A Brown Thrasher has been wintering in the southern Ovid Woods.
Once back in Denver, I checked out Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe) late in the afternoon. Most of the gulls were in the center of the reservoir (I did not have my scope). A dark Gull looked like an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull.
