[cobirds] Yard Birds - Centennial (Arapahoe)

In my Centennial yard this morning, a Lincoln's Sparrow, a FOY Dusky Flycatcher, and a FOY Green-tailed Towhee. That final bird remains my favorite common (and reliable) Denver metro migrant. It seems an impossible-looking bird. Without binoculars and in the shade of bushes, you just get the

[cobirds] Scarlet Tanager Male at Home Lake SWA

Hi CoBirders I was able to see two American Dippers this morning in Clear Creek, just east of the Lowell Blvd. bridge. They were very lose to each other at times and I could see an evident size difference. When the larger bird approached the smaller, it would dip and flair its wings. It didn't

[cobirds] Re: Empid. Help - Arapahoe

I've had four votes for Hammond's, noting what Steve noted. I heard the bird vocalize once, but given that I only encounter empids during migration and haven't had a reminder of their calls until today, it was lost on me. Thanks all! - Jared Centennial, CO On Thursday, May 7, 2020 at 10:04:44
