a few treats in N Boulder county this morning

[ronbco]

Richard Trinkner and I birded a few spots this morning.

I was after a Cordilleran Flycatcher and we were successful while walking the road of Lefthand Canyon a couple miles west of Hwy 36.

Other notables there were Lazuli Bunting and white-breasted nuthatch.

Then we stopped along St Vrain Rd east of Hwy 36. There we heard yellow-breasted chat and saw other flycatchers.

Finally we went to Golden Ponds and saw the usuals (Osprey, Pellican, red-eyed vireo) but we treated to a mating display of 2 Great Blue Heron's right on the shore of the first pond!

A nice morning!
