[cobirds] White-throated Swifts, Cedar Waxwings and migrants in Canon City

I was surprised to see a fairly large group of White-throated Swifts flying just above a razor-backed ridge on the far west end of Canon City today. They are commonly in the Royal Gorge canyon and I do see them at the mouth of that canyon (where Tunnel Drive trail is located). They put on a nice d

[cobirds] Jackson and Prewitt Reservoirs Today

[cobirds] Phillips County Birding 9/15

Birding east from Sterling this morning, I was in Haxtun by 7:30; but I think it was too early for insects to have warmed up, so I "buggered off". Even the sewage ponds were uninteresting. Frenchman's Creek was good. On the west side right by the parking area there was a big active flock of

[cobirds] Solitary Sandpiper, Cherry Ck, 14th

Not unexpectedly yesterday, Mary Burger and I did not find Glenn's and Loch's "cold front" good birds at Chatfield and Cherry Creek. We were one day too late! But we did find a Solitary Sandpiper at the little wetland on the NE corner of Cherry Creek. Amazingly when I entered the list into Avisy

If anyone can suggest solutions to Lin & Tim, please do (and post them on Cobirds too). Hugh Kingery Franktown, CO Hello, fellow birders. The inclement weather brought hordes of birds to our yard Wednesday--and among them was a house finch with avian pox. It broke our hearts to look

RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH Today, Sat, 9/15/12 A 1st for me. I've seen Pygmy Nuthatches in yard at mealworm feeder, but NEVER a Red-Breasted. I was deep-watering my trees; saw a sudden movement, and wah-lah, the Red-breasted Nuthatch joined me for a drink of precious water. Wow. Bonnie BoexDil
