[cobirds] NO Yellow-crowned Night-Herons tonight at Brush Hollow Res

After seeing Bill Kosar's great photos of a Yellow-crowned Night-Heron he found this morning at Brush Hollow Res, north of Florence, I drove out there. The water level of that lake is astoundingly low and the area with trees is about a quarter mile from the lake. As small as the lake was it was v

[cobirds] 3 American Three-toed Woodpeckers, The Crags, Teller County
