Observation details
Exact count of the Titmouse flock while it was foraging in junipers at the "bridge to nowhere" near the parking lot (https://goo.gl/maps/rX8uwVRPWU6GX9RS9). I spent a while observing the flock, making sure that my count was accurate, but later I encountered two birds on the west side of the park that may have come from farther west and thus were distinct individuals, so my estimate is 7-9. Incredibly, there were only 6 individual Juniper Titmice records for El Paso County prior to this fall, which puts this invasion into some context. All the Titmice looked basically the same: medium-sized, rather chunky Passerines, essentially all gray without field marks other than distinct crests. All had stout black bills, and blue-gray legs. They weren't especially vocal, but I did get some recordings as well as an uncropped cellphone video of one especially confiding individual.
