Birders,
Normally I wouldn't report about birds seen in a private area that is not accessible to other birders, but this is an exception.
I was lucky enough to have a friend that got me into Muir Springs (east 2 miles outside Ft. Morgan) which is an area many of you may not have heard of as it has been off limits for almost 20 years. My friend's mother is a member of the group that owns the area. The last time I was in there was Nov 14, 1998, on a DFO trip.
Today, I had singing Cardinal and 2 Western Scrub Jays. I was very surprised by both.
I am going to find out if it is at all possible to get a group in there but I doubt there is much of a chance.
I am filing an eBird report on what I had today.
