Had a great day of birding today! My dad and I went to the Broomfield Open Space event at the Broomfield Community Center. We attended the morning bird walk and had a great time. Best birds were some Bufflehead(doing mating displays), a pair of molting Canvasback, some Lesser Scaup(my 60th month bird) and a pair of American Avocet. We also saw a Double-crested Cormorant before the walk and I saw a pair of Sharp-shinned Hawks. After the walk we chatted with many of the vendors who were present at the event, and hopefully we will be able to lead some bird walks for those that were interested!
Here are some pics from the bird walk:

On a side note, I finished this month with 62 bird species and have 74 species on the year so far.
