Viewing the Anhinga

[Christian Nunes]

Birders,

First, there is a female ANHINGA at the second pond north of Boulder Creek along the east side of 95th St. in Boulder County. Found by Greg Levandoski earlier today. https://maps.app.goo.gl/J37AGTo3KowDoSaz7?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

A few things to please be aware of while viewing the bird on Boulder Valley Farm: 

-the ponds and surrounding farmland are closed to the public. The bird is perfectly visible from the road.

-the sides of the road were recently seeded and are actively being restored after a large construction project. Please, please do not park on or trample this restoration site.

-do not block ranch gates and be courteous to the ranch manager, John, if you see him. 

-there is an active Osprey nest a few hundred yards south of the Anhinga pond, close to the Boulder Creek bridge. Please give them space. 

Happy chasing,
