Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Louisville

[Paula Hansley]

CObirders,

On a hike with the Boulder Bird Club this morning along the wooded section of the Coal Creek Trail south of old town Louisville, Valerie and I saw a Ruby-crowned Kinglet…with one foot!  It was with a small flock of birds including Black-capped Chickadees, Downy Woodpeckers, various Dark-eyed Junco ssp. , White and Red-breasted Nuthatches, robins, flickers, etc. eating in several trees by the creek.  There was obviously something good to eat in those trees!

The whole group was also able to witness an adult Bald Eagle being mobbed by crows, ravens, and red-tailed hawks get dive-bombed by a Prairie Falcon.
