7/23 Lair O' the Bear Park in Colorado


Lair O' the Bear Park in Colorado

Lair O' the Bear Park - Denver Area west of Morrison on Hwy 74. Original designation was Red Rocks Park
but a big concert was going on in the park and the 32nd annual Mopar Mile-High NHRA Nationals was being
held at the edge of town. Needless to say there was not a parking spot left in town. So drove past it
all and found this park.

7/02 Bridgeton • St. Charles County WEKI STFL


Bridgeton • St. Charles County

Paul and I went to check the Western Kingbirds in the Bridgeton area. We spotted one high in a bare tree over Gist Road and then 4/10 mile farther two more at the curve, junction of Fee Fee and Gist. Just south of the sub-station, 1/4 mile south of McDonnell Blvd on Fee Fee, three more were found. The nest looked abandoned, so one of the three might of been a youngster. At the Bridgeton ball park one adult was seen with three young'uns in the nest. Over the levee at the end of St. Charles Rock Road was one adult with two on the nest. This is the same telephone pole as previous years. After seeing 8 adult and 5 young Western Kingbirds we headed to Hwy N and 40 in St. Charles County to look for the Scissor-tailed Flycatchers. We parked at the large pavement spur on N just north of 40 and saw a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher flying on south side of N to the large Hickory tree. It took a couple more fly ins to locate the nest high in the tree. All videos and photos shot at 1000mm from the shoulder of Hwy N.
