Bob Andrews and I found a Lens Cleaning Case (complete with equipment) while at the Valmont Reservoir Overlook. It was lying on the picnic table. If it belongs to one of our co-birders, you contact me direct. Mike Henwood Morrison 303-716-8551 hawk...@aol.com -- Colorado Field Ornithologis

[cobirds] Golden-crowned & Chipping Sparrows - Red Rocks - Jeffco

Upon returning from our trip to see the Rusty Blackbirds, Bob Andrews and I stopped at Red Rocks. At the entrance to Red Rocks along Hwy 93 closest to Morrison, we observed what appeared to be a Harlan's Hawk dark intermediate morph. We arrived at the feeders after 4:00 P.M. and ran into

[cobirds] Rusty Blackbird and others-Larimer and Boulder Counties

Hello all, Mike Henwood and I went to the Simpson Ponds State Wildlife Area to look for the Rusty Blackbirds reported earlier. Around 1 to 1:30 PM, we found two Rusty Blackbirds. One was perched in a tree where the small tributary flows from the frozen pond to the river. The other was on a fall

[cobirds] Grosbeaks & Goshawk in My Yard - Douglas Co.

At about 1:30pm this afternoon, I happened to glance out my window to find 5 beautiful male Evening Grosbeaks on my deck! This is the 3rd time this season I've seen EVGRs at my feeders, and the highest number so far (1 and 3 the 1st & 2nd times, resp.). Just like the other times, they were fee

[cobirds] Barrow's Goldeneye in Denver County Still Around

Don Beltz and I were both viewing the male Barrow's Goldeneye from opposite angles today.    We both agreed the bird is found most often just north (as in 100 feet) of the bridge going over the Platte River at Florida.  Parking is just to the north and east of this intersection.   I truly believ

Hello, Birders. The annual birding trip to the Valmont Reservoir complex, Boulder County, will be this coming Saturday, January 9th. We will start at noon. That is not a typo. It's just that there's no reason to get there early in the morning, when it's bitterly cold and there are actually fe
