Ketring Lake and vicinity, Arapahoe

[David Suddjian]

Ketring Lake in Littleton had few waterbirds today, but an adult Red-naped Sapsucker in the trees north of the lake seems like a good bird for Arapahoe County. The grounds of the neighboring Carmelite Monastery had one Type 2 Red Crossbill, and 2 Pine Siskins. Six Pine Siskins flew over St. Mary Church at S. Prince Street in Littleton (my high count for the county so far). 8 more Pine Siskins were at the Littleton Cemetery, along with at least 9 Red-breasted Nuthatches. 

Early in the morning at my Ken Caryl Valley home I noticed quite a few Pine Siskins flying over to the east, suggesting a movement this chilly morning.
