Some Private Yards in Denver

Hello birders,

Rich Stevens and I cruised around Denver today. None of the birds are chasable as they are on private lands. I wanted to put on notice that these species are in Denver.

While watching a Carolina Wren near Washington Park, we got a text message of a second one being seen several miles away. Photos in June's Colorado Field Notes

A male Calliope Hummingbird visited a feeder in another yard. This makes four Calliope Hummingbird sightings over three locations in the past 10 days.

A Rufous Hummingbird was reported by another birder in the Cheesman Park area. This is the second sighting in the last 10 days.

Both hummingbird species are rare in spring.

We conducted a mini-owl search and found three Eastern Screech-Owls between Capitol Hill and Bonny Brae.

Good birding!
