Scott's Oriole at Prairie Ridge (Larimer) 10/30

[Mark Miller]

Hi Everyone, 

I found the Scott's Oriole this morning 10/30 around 0840 in rabbitbrush about 200 yards from the north boundary of Prairie Ridge Natural Area. It gave a soft chuck call. I had good views for maybe a minute, then it flew south and upslope. It's 0915 now, and no sign of it. From the trailhead on Taft Hill Road, it's a walk of about 1.7 miles to the spot.
