A couple of
observations from our Castle Rock North block (really Franktown).
May 23-24: 1-2 Willets at Walker Pit. Also seen Apr. 25-27.
May 22: Least Flycatcher singing on Mitchell Gulch, a tributary
of Cherry Creek (on private property). First time I’ve encountered this species
in this area. Steve Stachowiak has seen them a couple of times at Louviers
(Plum Creek, upstream from Chatfield SP).
I wonder if
they occupy other spots on Cherry Creek upstream from the state park.
Walker Pit: go east from traffic light in Franktown, turn right (north) on Walker Road and park at the bend.
