Varied Thrush continues, American Dipper, El Paso County

[linda hodges]

Greetings, all,

Thanks to the hospitality of David Rudin, I (and others) was able to get good looks at  the (lifer) Varied Thrush this afternoon in Colorado Springs' westside.

Earlier in the day, I stumbled upon an American Dipper in Manitou Springs. It was doing its dip, and foraging for bugs in Fountain Creek at the west end of Manitou, near the sandbags.

What a great December day.
