[cobirds] Good birds at Crown Hill Lake (Jeffco)

I went looking for yesterday's white-headed raptor at Main res today, and did not re-find it,

but we've decided with 99% certainty that it was a spring juvenile light-morph Swainson's,

and not a Krider's.

 

 

I ran into Art Hudak at Crown Hill later, and we enjoyed nice looks at:

 

1 Clark's Grebe

1 Wilson's Snipe

Kildeer

All three species of Teal within feet of each other, so we had Cinnamon, Blue-winged,

    and Green-winged males in the field of view. 

Western Meadowlark singing

A pair of Kestrels, the male hunting

Many RW Blackbirds, still no Yellow-heads

2 virginia Rails calling (neither came out)

 

Dave Cameron

Denver

 

btw, there were also 2 male Cinnamon Teal yesterday afternoon on East Res.
