[Douglbirds] McClain/Centennial pit

[David E. Rapley]

We live adjacent to Castlewood Canyon SP and did have 3 wild turkey hens in
our meadow last week. And chukars back in Jan. 

While we were away a couple of weeks back, our son was out here fixing a
Computer and saw a cougar walk by and head over to the park.

We see elk sign routinely  but seldom see them

Where is the Centennial pit?

Following up on Glenn Walbek's post yesterday, Urling and I stopped to
inspect the Centennial pit today. The Common Loon remains, and we saw no
other birds except two Canada Geese in the water and one in a tree nest
along Cherry Creek, plus, flying north, a Great Egret , which may have just
exited the gravel pit or may have winged all the way through Castlewood
Canyon. That plus Glenn's Baird's Sandpiper yesteday brings our list of
birds in the 'Franktown Basin' to 248 species. 

 

As we watched today, Urling saw 7 elk. As we watched them run along the east
side of Cherry Creek, they contemplated the fence and finally jumped over
the fence, crossed Colo. 83, and disappeared into the trees north of the
Franktown school.
