Subject: [cobirds] Pinyon Jays in Custer County
We have had a cabin in the Wet Mountains (near Rosita) at 9000" elevation
and have observed pinyon jays in various sized flocks throughout the
summers over the past 19 years. Flocks vary from 10-15 to well over 50.
We usually take down our birdfeeders when the pass through because they
will empty us out in a few minutes. This summer, I have seen both
evening and black-headed grosbeaks for the first time as well as the
usual suspects: yellow-rumped warblers, northern flickers, hairy
woodpeckers, Williamson's sapsuckers, pine siskins, mountain chickadees,
wb and pigmy nuthatches, rufous and broadtailed hummers, western wood
pewees, and cordilleran flycatchers. Nesting in boxes on our acre this
summer were western bluebirds, v-g swallows, a house wren mountain
chicadees,and pigmy nuthatches.
I even had a bobcat walk past me w/in 5 feet while I was reading on our
ground-level deck. He was chased off by a doe.
