Sent to the Broomfield Compiler for the upcoming Broomfield Christmas Bird Count (December 21st) These are from the last 4 days.
Here's some more reports:
Plaster Reservoir has an immature *Snow Goose*, amidst about 1,500 Canada and Cackling Geese.
Quail Creek Park had a *Prairie Falcon* fly over - since prairie falcons are highly nomadic this time of year, it's not likely to be seen again.
There were several *American Tree Sparrows *at Stearns Lake, along with *White Crowned Sparrows*. Plus 2,000 Cackling and Canada Geese. American Tree Sparrows are a declining species and one of special concern.
I have not returned to Westminster City Park to check for the two *Harlan's Hawks* I saw a few days ago but will likely recheck in a couple of days.
*Marsh Wrens* have been seen and heard several times at Eastlake #3 in Thornton. If warm weather persists, I believe they might still be there on December 21st. Patience will be required for these observing these little guys.
More sick and dying *Cackling Geese* discovered at Hunter's Glen Park, Stearns Lake and Cascade Lake (Broomfield). They appear listless, heads hanging down, and will not fly away when approached. Be careful out there.
