Bluff Lake Nature Area & Rocky Mountain Arsenal

September 12, 2018

Richard Stevens:

Rebecca and I walked around Bluff Lake Nature Area (Denver) in the afternoon.  Temperature was 90 degrees.  Winds were 12-13 mph with gusts to 16 mph.

We found neither the previously reported Green Heron nor Northern Mockingbird.  Few birds were moving about.

A drive through Rocky Mountain Arsenal (Adams) did not find any uncommon birds.  Highlight was one Sage Thrasher inside the southeastern end of the bison enclosure.

Nothing uncommon was around the dwindling pools near mile nine of the Wildlife Area.  We did not see the previously reported Red-necked Phalaropes.
