Birders,
This is a great time of year to look at birds, flowers, and butterflies
along the Meyers Homestead Trail in Walker Ranch Open Space; however, my
best sighting early this morning was of Bill Kaempfer! Those of you who
are old timers, like me, will remember Bill— one of the best birders
Colorado has ever seen. Bill now resides in Florida.
Bill says “hello” to everyone. Unfortunately, we (Todd Deininger, John
Vanderpoel, and I) were unable to find a Hammond’s Flycatcher for Bill
along the trail. Perhaps, he found one elsewhere.
This area is as dry as I’ve ever seen it with very few flowers or
butterflies. I was happy to find a flock of Pine Siskins and a flock of
Red Crossbills ( not sure if type, but I will include a recording with my
checklist).
