Richard Stevens:
Randy Crisman, Jay Bays and I were at Reynolds Park (Jefferson County) before sunrise. We head a Northern Pygmy-Owl somewhere around the larger parking area. Unfortunately, we could not find the owl.
Later we found a male American Three-toed Woodpecker northeast of the intersection of Oxen Draw and Eagle's View trails.
Our fortune continued when we observed a Dusky Grouse walking north of the Eagle's View Trail near the overlook clearing.
We also found Pine Siskins, six Red Crossbills, three species of nuthatches (Red breasted, White breasted & Pygmy) and both chickadees (Mountain & Black capped).
Misses: no Williamson's Sapsucker was found, however, no expected.
With all the Long-tailed Ducks around Colorado recently, I thought to check the many gravel ponds in Adams County. None was found.
A male Barrow's Goldeneye was on East Gravel Lake. A pair of Barrow's Goldeneyes was at the southwest side of Tani Reservoir.
Nothing uncommon was on the three West Gravel Lakes, Cooley Gravel Pond, Dahlia Ponds or Barrington Reservoir #9.
I ended my birding day at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal (also Adams County). Canvasbacks were the most numerous ducks on Lake Ladora & Lower Derby Lake.
At least one Barn Owl and two Long-eared Owls were along the Legacy Trail.
