Denver CBC - 15 Dec some highlights :-)
Joey Kellner
The initial tally last night at the compilation potluck (thank you to all that participated and to all that brought great food), came to 111 species! Not back for a “lack luster” day. Most groups commented on fewer birds and not much flying around in the sky, but almost every group had a couple “goodies” that other groups did not have. Highlights for the Denver CBC yesterday:
Spotted Sandpiper, Black Scoter, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Winter Wren, White-throated, Swamp, Chipping, Harris’s and Golden-crowned Sparrows, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Common Loon, Western Grebe, Double-crested Cormorant, Greater Scaup, Pine Grosbeak, Say’s Phoebe, Ross’s, Snow, Greater White-fronted, Canada and Cackling Goose (no Brant and no Pink-footed ☹), American Pipit, and much more. 😊
Owls that were reported were: Great Horned, Eastern Screech, Pygmy, and Northern Saw-whet (a “thank you” shout-out to those early risers)!
A “thank you” to all the participates and ESPECIALLY the Area Leaders (that know all the “secret, birdy, spots in their areas). Thank you to Chatfield State Park’s leadership for working with us and the construction company to give us access to most of the Park and especially for the use of multipurpose room for our compilation and potluck!
There are still LOTS of CBCs out there to help with…please consider trying one in a location that you normally don’t bird…you’ll learn a lot and have a ton of fun!
Joey.
