Hi COBirders, A few migrants today- female Cooper's Hawk, and two FOS Am Kestrels. No swifts today, and the local Redtails were mostly perched. Did see the local Prairie Falcon flying down in one of the valleys. Not great soaring, I guess. Also my favorite incongruous spring sight - a Canada

Mindy and all, Burrowing Owls, the first one one on Monday, 28 March, and then two the following day, are being seen at Pueblo Reservoir (Pueblo County) near the north entrance station where they have nested in past years. I'm not sure what the arrival date for last year was, but this does

Hi folks, A couple friends and I will be birding Colorado from April 2-9 and, despite our best researching efforts, we have some questions regarding a few species. - We won't have the time to get to Cottonwood Canyon and may not get all the way west to Fruitgrowers, so we're looking for Lewis's
