[cobirds] 100+ Tree Swallows, Centennial Park, Arapahoe County

Hello,

 

Today on what I expected to be a quick visit to Centennial Park,  a birding extravaganza ensued and I spent over 2 hours observing many FOY species.   Over 100 Tree Swallows darting about above the lake was quite spectacular, my ebird estimate was 110 but I believe there were undoubtedly more.  All species observed:

 

41   Canada Goose

2     Gadwall

7     Mallard

4     Bufflehead

1     Pied-billed Grebe

5     Double-crested Cormorant

1     Black-crowned Night-Heron (adult)

17   American Coot

1     Ring-billed Gull

1     Northern Flicker (Red-shafted)

1     Say's Phoebe (FOY)

6     American Crow

110  Tree Swallow (FOY)

1     Barn Swallow (FOY)

1     Black-capped Chickadee

37   American Robin

900  Common Starling

16  Red-winged Blackbird

1    Yellow-headed Blackbird (FOY)

2    Common Grackle

 

You just never know what species will be present!

 

Happy Birding,
