Just a quick note..saw (and or) heard 57 species in and around Lyons on a Boulder Bird
Club trip this morning and noonish. Email me for a list, especially if you are thinking About coming on the 6/14 DFO trip up here, where we probably will see most of the same Individuals. Highlights.bobolink, bald eagle on nest, common goldeneye chicks, red Tailed hawk on nest, western wood pewee on 2 nests, 3 American dipper (one at 10 feet); Black-headed grosbeak on nest, 25 or more red crossbills on my feeders. Did not see a House Sparrow (selective alertness). Side note: I have 34 nest boxes up, and for the last 6 years or so, always get 3-5 pair Of house wrens using the boxes. They especially like smaller boxes (with little holes) With some foliage close by. Also get western and mountain bluebird, tree and violet- Green swallow, and white-breasted nuthatch, all in the same generic boxes (not the exact Same one, usually :-)) Davis at 6,009 ft., 4 miles NW of Lyons, in open Ponderosa "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" Mark Twain --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Colorado County Birding: http://www.coloradocountybirding.com/ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
