I headed out in the heat to see if the Teller Farms Golden-crowned
Sparrow was still around. No luck, but the few overheating White-
crowned Sparrows suggests that perhaps going earlier in the morning
might prove helpful. The low water level in the pond at Teller hints
at good shore birding to come. Today, it held 4 Greater Yellowlegs.
Walden Ponds was nice, with very high water in almost all ponds. The
boardwalk is being rebuilt, but the main pond is very birdy, with a
great selection of ducks including Canvasback, Common Goldeneye,
Redhead, Northern Shoveler, American Wigeon and Ring-necked Ducks.
Not much in the way of passerine migrants, but there were breeding
Northern Flickers and Downy Woodpeckers (yes, actually seen
breeding). It's good to be back in Boulder, even for a short time.
