Second Week of March

I haven't posted for a while, but have still been doing quite a bit of birding. I have been seeing the Trumpeter Swan at both Cattail Pond and Ryan's Gulch Reservoir. The Hooded Merganser x Common Goldeneye Hybrid has still been hanging out at Bud Mielke Reservoir. The only new year bird for me was an adult Peregrine Falcon (138) that had a rabbit in its claws being chased by a Red-tailed Hawk at Bonnell Drive Pond. I have been seeing Red-breasted Mergansers and Cinnamon Teal in a lot of different places around the county recently. There are currently a number of ponds and lakes that should be checked as much as possible right now. Those include Bud Mielke Reservoir, Ryan's Gulch Reservoir, Kechter Pit, Fossil Creek Reservoir, and Timnath Reservoir.
