Barrow's Goldeneye, South Platte River, Adams County (1/25)

[Chris Knight]

Hi All,

At least one male BARROW'S GOLDENEYE continues on the South Platte River between 78th and 88th Avenues almost directly across the river from the water tanks (towers). Other noteworthy birds included a lone Yellow-rumped Warbler and a pair of Red-breasted Mergansers on the fenced in pond (fish hatchery?) behind a tall, chain-link fence.

While birding in the area, I "bumped into" the Boulder Bird Club who reported a HARRIS' SPARROW near the parking lot at 78th Ave minutes earlier. I tried to re-find it, but no luck.
