A delightful morning walking along Old St. Vrain Road where, in the morning, you are in shade most of the way. The theme of the day turned into nesting. We found nesting wood-pewees and orioles and we also saw cedar waxwings, a hummingbird, and cordilleran flycatchers building nests. We also saw recently fledged downy woodpeckers, robins, and house finches. A good morning for witnessing nesting.
