Richard Stevens:
Rebecca and I decided to walk the First Creek Trail (Denver County) in the afternoon. Rain had stopped and it was a cool 76 degrees; winds were calm.
One female Barn Owl was hidden quite well under the Light Rail Bridge. Not well enough, we caught glimpses of it from the trail.
Farther east, a juvenile Great Horned Owl watched us from a cottonwood on the north side of the Creek.
Other birds encountered included a House Wren and Gray Catbird in the marsh area under the Light Rail Bridge, a Wilson's Warbler in the cattails east of the bridge, a Virginia Rail called from the cattails and hundred of Red-winged Blackbirds feeding on the hill at the bridge. Several Brewer's Blackbirds were in the flock; unfortunately, no Rusty Blackbirds were found.
Many hummingbirds continue to visit our feeders!
