Richard Stevens:
Rebecca Kosten and I headed to Washington Park (Denver County) at 8:00 am. Temperatures reached 48 degrees today; winds were 7-8 mph with gusts to 16 mph.
Unlike my hour and a half unsuccessful search yesterday for the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, it was found in less than 15 minutes today! The sapsucker stayed high in tree #5. Now and then, it moved into the open and allowed nice looks!
In the afternoon, I went back out on my own. The Brant and Greater White-fronted Goose were easy to see southeast of the Indian Tree Golf Course clubhouse (Jefferson).
The rest of my afternoon, I walked the South Platte River from 74th avenue to 88th avenue (Adams). A female Barrow's Goldeneye was just downstream of the 78th avenue bridge. A male was farther south, just downstream of the green and white tower.
I searched two locations where Greater Yellowlegs were reported along the Platte River last week; without success.
