group two days earlier. We delighted to see a

Hi all,

doesn't appear to have a mate yet, because I haven't herd a female calling. In

For a change of pace I went into the mountains for some birding today.
Manitou Lake in Teller was enjoyable as always with winnowing snipe and a nice
assortment of dabblers. I missed the Night-Herons and didn't have many
migrants. I did flush three shorebirds that left the area, two looked like

I had a singing male American Redstart at Cherry Creek this afternoon. He is
presumably the same bird that spent well over a month there last summer. He is

yards west of the observation deck at the Prairie Loop
Colorado birders,
Richard Hayes and I plan to do Jerry Cooper's Summer in Colorado week
starting June 16. Many of you may be familiar with Cooper's Birdfinder
book, published in 1995 by the ABA. We also have A Birder's guide to
Colorado (1997) by Holt. Both of these are excellent but have
12 matches
