[cobirds] Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Las Animas County
Based on Bill Kaempfer's recommendation, on the drive home from Texas I decided to bird Colorado 12 (the Highway of Legends) from Trinidad to La Veta yesterday morning. The scenery was breath taking, though the birding was rather slow. I did find an adult male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker feeding in the cottonwood trees alongside the park with the baseball diamond in the front of town. Beverly Jensen's feeders in La Veta were also slow, though there were a few Cassin's Finches and a single Evening Grosbeak.

[cobirds] Red-headed Woodpecker in Custer Co.
This morning I saw a juv. Red-headed Woodpecker in Wetmore, Custer Co. It was in the cottonwoods along Hardscrabble Creek across from the Wetmore Community Center. No doubt it was the same one I saw at this location one month ago. In addition to being out of range and out of season, it appears to be spending the winter in this small town at the foot of the Wet Mountains. Very strange. Andrews Righter report that one was recorded in Pueblo Co. near Wetmore on Jan. 1972.

[cobirds] white-throated sparrow persists in Paonia, Delta County
The tan-striped white-throated sparrow that has been at the feeder at the Forest Service office in Paonia (403 N Rio Grande) for the last couple of weeks put in two appearances today, both times when I did not have the camera on the tripod and pointed out the window. It remains very furtive, with appearances widely scattered and of short duration. However, if anyone wants to see it, they are welcome to stop by and give it a try. Still trying for a photo...
