Lamar, Colo birding on 1-5-06

J W Thompson told me that a Carolina Wren and a Red-bellied Woodpecker had been seen recently by her friend Dottie in the wooded area behind the Lamar Community College. This is another of those prime birding areas here. Altho I did not find the Red-bellied Woodpecker, I did see the Carolina Wren. This wren is a rarity in Colorado. It was a section of the woods that also held several Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, a White-breasted Nuthatch as well as Northern Flickers, Dark-eyed Juncos, Am Goldfinch and House Finches.
