Saw or heard at least three pairs of Bullocks this morning going north on
the Teller Lakes Trail from Valmont Rd. in Boulder County. Also saw a very
loud and prominent young Orchard Oriole along the same route. Not the same
one I saw a couple weeks ago, as those were more mature. This had the

I'm up in Larimer, so I'm not sure how much this will apply or be helpful
to you, but Bullock's Orioles nest in my neighborhood in Timnath and are
relatively "frequent at this time of year."
I haven't seen but one Orchard Oriole, which was a migrant that passed
through my
I had a banner year in early to mid May with up to 7 Bullocks coming to my
feeders. Since they left I have seen few around the Canon City area. I'm
afraid the continuing drought conditions has caused a number of migratory
to head to other locations where there actually have insects.

If you use The Waze app while driving around out there the areas that are

Wow,
Following all of these posts makes me wonder whether there’s someone (not me)
who — as happened some months ago with a different property — who can approach
the REAL owner (whether its DIA or someone else) and get a definitive answer.
Is this a DFO issue? Or something like that?
It would
Sorry to hear this Karen. I was out there on June 7th and got chased out by
this totally obnoxious guy from Petropro Engineering, I assume one of the
oil field service companies out there. He hassled Bil and I and said we
were on private property owned by the airport and he was going to call
After reading Patrick's account, perhaps I need to reconsider!

The farmers are mowing the fields north and south of Bud Mielke Reservoir in
loveland( location of eastern meadowlark, Dickcissel, and bobolink nests).
Unfortunately this means any possible nests are being destroyed.

I was just out there- patrol asked if I were birding. I said yes and waved the

So interesting the lack of consistency with this out at Box Elder and
surrounding area. I was told a similar thing back in January at the creek
itself. Then last week I was tempted by the cassin’s and grasshopper sparrows

I have started to see a huge decrease of Orioles in my neighborhood in Green
Mountain. Populations started to decrease with the increase of Coopers Hawk
along the front range. Ten years ago, we had large numbers of Grackles, good
numbers of Orioles, and more Robins in the neighborhood. The

We are seeing what I think is a decent number of Bullock's Orioles on the
north shore of Standley Lake. I'm aware of at least 4 pairs - 2 just west
of the visitor center, one north of the boat lauch area, and one down here
by Loon Lake. This is the first year I've put out an orange / jelly
Had lots of Bullock's along the Platte River Trail in Arapahoe and Denver
Counties in May, but they seem to be thinning out now.

Hi all
Up north a banner year, in my yard I had, at one time, 7 Bullock's (5m,
2f), down the road at "Nunn's Gravel Pit" had Baltimore and Orchard
(multiple) Oriole. A female Bullock's continues to come to yard almost
daily. Others in NOCO report the same, one woman had 11 in her yard at once!
We’ve had both Orchard and Bullocks in Cherry Creek State Park in the last few
weeks.
