I was delighted to have my 1st
Calliope of the season visit my home feeders in Ken Caryl Valley JeffCo on July 11, and also had one in El Paso at Crowe Gulch Picnic Area along the Pike's Peak Toll Road that day. I had one in Park County at NF Road 211 on July 1.
At St. Mary's in Littleton (Arapahoe) today I heard a Red-breasted Nuthatch (my first in Littleton since May 22), and two Ospreys perched atop tall light standards at the ball fields there were my first in the southern Metro area since spring migrants. One or more Pine Siskins have been around the church area for the past several days, which eBird has flagged as rare for Arapahope County at this time of year.
