HI, folks, Sudden fallout of sparrows in our backyard; mixed flock of hundreds. I'd guess about 300 in the wink of an eye, mostly white-crowned, Brewer's, chipping.
Gregory Canyon was gloomy but interesting this morning, with all usual suspects (including my FOY plumbeous vireo, black-headed grosbeaks, gray catbirds and an oddly placed gray flycatcher (along with the more ordinary dusky & Hammond's). Mtn chickadees were mating; robins on the nest. Jon T will no doubt post his list soon, and I bet he got the Unusual suspects if there were any. Sandra Laursen reports western bluebird on Shanahan Ridge, & other discoveries more or less like mine. Pretty good day! The whole foothills--and now prairie--area near Boulder has green-tailed towhees hopping around and singing like crazy. Everybody's twitterpated. If it weren't so dreary it would be fun. Heck, it's fun anyway. The little black-chinned hummingbird continues to frequent our feeder. Often he sits on a plant hanger under the deck overhang, out of the weather, shivering. I sit before my computer drinking hot tea and I shiver. Good birding to all. Linda -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
