Hi, Cobirders.
Today 13 of us got lucky in the Garden of the Gods and Rock Ledge Ranch area of Colorado Springs.
At GoG we had nice views of Prairie Falcons (2), a Sharp-shinned Hawk and at least a dozen Townsend's Solitaires.
We then moved over to Rock Ledge Ranch. After seeing Red-breasted Nuthatch, Wilson's Warblers, and some chattering (yes, chattering) American Crows, we were treated to a YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER. We got to watch it for about 20 minutes, with great views in the morning sun that made ID much easier.
