Rusty Blackbird(s) Sandstone Ranch, Weld County (3/1)

[Chris Knight]

Hi All,

 

I just returned from birding at Sandstone Ranch east of Longmont (Weld County side) and noticed one (possibly two) Rusty Blackbirds along the St. Vrain at the far SE border of the park. This is about a half mile downstream (I believe) from where a small flock of Rustys was reported recently by Steve Mlodinow.

 

Other birds at the "ranch" today were a nesting Great Horned Owl and a Barn Owl at the usual roosting location. Otherwise it was pretty slow.

 

Good bidring!
