Canon City birding

I found a female Red-naped Sapsucker in Canon City on Jan 22. This is very unusual at this time of year as this species should have migrated far south to southern New Mexico or Mexico. I was told that there was a Red-naped Sapsucker found on the Christmas Bird Count in Canon City last month so this might be the same bird.

The 5 Greater White-fronted Geese continue in the area. I continue to see American Dippers along the Arkansas River including in a new location by the western section of the Canon City Riverwalk that I saw this afternoon. I also saw a Wilson's Snipe next to the Riverwalk today. And others who walk this area daily report they are seeing at least one Bald Eagle regularly.
