Fountain Creek Regional Park 12/16: Northern Shrike (El Paso County)

[Lee Farese]

Hi all,

At Fountain Creek Regional Park (El Paso County) this morning another birder and I watched an adult Northern Shrike around the dried pond north of the nature center. Other less-common birds we found this morning included two Virginia Rails that gave us great looks below the bridge between the northernmost nature center ponds, two ruby crowned kinglets near the Mile 18 marker, and a flock of bushtits along the path west of Rice's pond.

Happy Trails,

Lee Farese
