Rich Stevens, Rebecca Kosten, Sue Ehlmann and I birded several less visited areas today. Nothing rare/uncommon was found.
Highlights at the First Creek Trail both Adams & Denver Counties was a flock of 10-12 American Tree Sparrows.
Richard and I walked the length of Sand Creek that runs through the Aurora Sports Park. The creek has been mostly dry for several years. We walked the west side to Colfax and back along the east side to the southeast corner of the Park.
A Say's Phoebe was on the fence at the southeast corner. Our best bird was a Brown Thrasher. It was under Russian Olive trees directly west of halfway between the south end of the pond and the soccer fields to the south.
A Ferruginous Hawk flew along the field east of the park. The subdivision of homes southeast of the park has many Eurasian Collared-Doves and House Sparrows.
The four of us then hiked Coal Creek Regional Park, Arapahoe County. An American Woodcock was photographed here on 10/16/2016 (cover of November 2016 "Colorado Field Notes")
No woodcocks today, we did find one Spotted Towhee and many American Tree Sparrows.
