others (sorry, I do not have the names) found a juvenile NEOTROPIC CORMORANT at
the marina at Cherry Creek State Park. The bird is currently still there and
sleeping. At this time, it is the only juvenile

I returned at about 7:15 AM to Drake Lake. There were only a couple hundred
gulls on the lake, but on the far "rim," I could see the GW type thing. I was
begging it to move about, so that I could see its wingtips. Instead, it flew,
but gave me excellent flight views and allowed f
Folks,
The juvenile Neotropic Cormorant found by Connecticut birders Nick Bonomo, Phil

Cherry Creek State Park, first at the Cottonwood Pond (across from model
airplane field), then at the sandspit, then again at Cottonwood Pond. The flock
seems a bit skittish and is easily flushed by passing bikers and op
I was at Walden Ponds and Sawhill Ponds in Boulder County this morning (April
8th). I saw an unusual bird, what appears to be an Albino Red-winged
blackbird. I saw it at approximately 8:00am, landing in a cottonwood tree on
the south side of the Sawhill pond #5; it flew north over the pond t

I found the pair of Prairie Falcons in Red Rocks Park zipping in and out of
holes and perching on Park Cave Rock and calling. I wonder if they are
beginning incubation. I photographed them but haven't had time to download
photos yet. I did not see the Peregrines on Shiprock. I didn't have time
As previously posted, Phil Rusch, Bill Asteriades and I had a first-

as good as Glenn Walbek's, but you already knew that!) are posted
