What a beautiful walk today (actually Wednesday) in Chatfield State Park, south of King Fisher bridge and east of S. Platte River.
The predominant birds were yellow warblers, spotted towhees, broad tailed hummingbirds and house wrens. I saw only 4 yellow rumped warblers. There were white breasted nuthatches, a yellow breasted chat, a say’s phoebe and meadowlarks.
For drama, a broad tailed hummingbird came within a few inches of my ear as he was finishing the downward dive of his courtship loop. I would never say that it scared the ____ out of me... Also, a bald headed eagle flew into a tree 20 yards from me, something I still find thrilling.
(In addition, there was my uncertain viewing of a painted redstart —see previous post. )
Thanks, Deb Carstensen
