Williamson’s Sapsucker (4/7/17)
The Bighorn Sheep were down by the road just west of Dome Rock on CR1
(about a mile south of Evergreen Station). A Male with a huge rack was
surrounded by females and youngsters. The young ones were jumping up
and over hay bales, it was a great thing to see.
A Turkey Vulture flew in the Florissant valley, it was the first of the season for me.
The Western and Mountain Bluebirds are everywhere in the mountain area and will be here from now until the cold comes again. Such a beautiful sight to see the color of blue in all the brown and green!
The prairie dogs are out and they are hungry! The towns are very active and some have come down to the roads to see what they can find. Please be careful as you drive the mountain roads.
I woke up yesterday to my “nature” alarm. The Williamson’s Sapsuckers are back and their distinctive drumming sound was unmistakable. Check out this fabulous summer bird and be sure to listen to the last drumming sound to experience it for yourself.
