Good birds on a 'slow' day at Harriman

[Dave Cameron]

We ambled slowly around the lake at Harriman Park (Kipling just S of US 285, Jeffco) this afternoon.  The lake was seemingly very empty of waterfowl, but we gave it a whirl, and came up with quite a bit of entertainment:

A large flock of Common Grackles, plus 1 m and 2 f Great-tailed Grackles

Many RWBBs

A couple of Blue Jays, plus a couple of Woodhouse's Scrub Jays

1 Marsh Wren, one of the highlights.

1 pair of Green-winged Teal

Many Coots and Cormorants

1 Song Sparrow

Say's Phoebes

1 Pied-billed and 2 Western Grebes

1 Red-breasted Merganser, another highlight

1 Common Snipe, perhaps the final highlight

Tree, Barn, and VG Swallows

Correction-- it was, of course, a Wilson's Snipe, not Common
