Denver Field Ornithologists Bird Hike


The Denver Field Ornithologists, lead by Dee, enjoyed a great morning of birding at South Platte Park. It was a clear, sun-filled morning with temperatures from 30-42F and just a slight breeze.
Following is the list of the birds that were seen: 35 species and 468 individuals. The highlights were 3 Bald Eagles (2 Adults and 1 Immature), 1 Greater-White Fronted Goose, 1 American Pipit and the Northern Mockingbird still at the suet feeder behind Carson Nature Center. Good Birding!! I want to Thank Bill Eden for the beautiful photo of the Mockingbird.
