Fabulous spring morning at Barr Lake yesterday. The lake still had ice but pockets of water around it had fantastic waterfowl, Redheads paired up, Wood Ducks and Common Goldeneye. The trees were thick with Downy Woodpeckers pecking at the tree bark and Canada Geese were in the fields feeding. We walked along the canal to the east and down to the blind; saw 19 species in about 2 hours.
Following is the complete list: European Starling, Dark-Eyed Junco (Pink-sided), Canada Geese, Downy Woodpecker, American Goldfinch, Song Sparrow, American Robin, Northern Shoveler, Redhead, Common Goldeneye, Wood Duck, Northern Flicker, Swainson’s Hawk, American Kestrel, Harlan’s Hawk (Dark Morph), Mallard, Red-winged Blackbird, Eurasian Collared-Dove, Ring-billed Gull.
More good birding to come...migration is just around the corner!
