On this chilly, autumn morning, amongst a total satelite balanced on the foothills to our west, I went downwards to South Platte Park, hoping to come across autumn migrants. The early on morning time chill had brought out the songbirds, flitting together with twittering amid the shrubs together with trees, simply all was relatively tranquility on the lakes together with river.
During my i sixty minutes visit, I did expose 2 flocks of blue-winged teal, passing overhead, a handful of pied-billed grebes together with a brace of Wilson's warblers, downwards from the mountains. That was the extent of the autumn migration, a tide that has non nevertheless gained momentum. I did consider plenty of permanent together with some summertime residents, including an osprey, a non bad horned owl, gray catbirds, double-crested cormorants together with woods ducks, simply the migrants accept been deadening to appear.
Nevertheless, it was a pleasant walk roughly Eaglewatch Lake. I got my exercise, enjoyed the fresh, cool air together with appreciated the companionship of the resident wildlife. The migrants volition plough upwardly shortly enough.
Addendum: My ongoing search for migrants was rewarded early on this afternoon, when a flock of five sandhill cranes circled southward inward a higher house our Littleton farm.
