[cobirds] More birds in Huerfano and Los Animas Counties

A few days after Tax Day, my boss mentioned he'd hung a hummingbird feeder at his Walsenburg home and not 5 minutes later had hummingbirds! Personally, I've been so busy with two new puppies and trying not to attract either black-birds nor bears...my bird-feeding has been on second burner. I

Oh...and mixed in with the bright yellow American Goldfinches are stunning Lesser Goldfinches...of the Black-backed variety. They look like zoot-suiters in that black yellow. And despite my attempts to dissuade them, black-birds, starlings and grackles abound...already with big brown babies

Birders, This am Glenn Walbek and I were able to refind the Tricolored Heron that Lentz found on 5/2. Walk out to the end of the sand spit in the Plum Creek delta and look directly south into the flooded willows. It was hard to see but was associating with 3 Snowy Egrets. Ira Sanders
