birds

[Marcia E. Wade, Attorney at Law]

Hi - I am a new member and wanted to report bird sightings.  If this is not where I am supposed to send 

information, could you please send this to the proper person? Thank you.  

 

On May 27, there were the following birds in the pond across the street from Stearns Lake around 1 p.m.: 

several pairs of northern shovelers, one snowy egret (last Friday there were six);  six long-billed dowitchers, 

and an avocet. In the bushes there were a loggerhead shrike, and a yellow-rumped warbler 

At Lake Wanaka (in Greenlee naturalized area) there were several avocets, a pair of cinnamon teals, green-winged

 teals, four pairs of wood ducks, belted kingfisher (male), several killdeer and a few blue-winged teals.  There is also 

a Swainson's hawk nest between the main lake and the naturalized area.  If anyone wants to see the wood ducks (they 

are gorgeous) do it soon because after the reeds grow out the wood ducks rarely come out of them. 

On 95th Street where the Boulder Creek goes under it I got some good pix of a beautiful osprey.  I think it has a nest out 

there but I could not find it. I also saw bald eagles flying past.

On Weld County Rd 19-1/2 I found a wild turkey feeding in someone's field. 

Hi - I am a new member and am not sure this is how to submit bird sightings, so 

if this is not where to send them, please forward this to the appropriate person. On 

May 12 in the pond across the street from Stearns Lake there were the following birds: 

snowy egret (only one today, Friday there were six); 6 long-billed dowitchers, and 

several pairs of northern shovelers. In the bushes nearby, there was a loggerhead 

shrike, and a female yellow-rumped warbler.  There is a hawk's nest in a pasture south 

of the pond at the end of the road.  I have pix of the young in the nest, but haven't figured out what kind of hawks they are.  

At Wanake Lake (in Greenlee naturalized area) there were two avocets, four pairs of 

wood ducks, a pair of cinnamon teals, several pair of  blue-winged and green-winged 

teals, two American avocets, a pair of belted kingfishers.  If anyone wants to see the 

wood ducks, you should do it soon because  after the reeds grow tall, the wood  ducks 

rarely come out of them.  There also is a Swainson's hawk nest  on the north side of the 

main lake. 

Hi - I am a new member and don't actually know how to submit bird sightings, so
