Hi Cobirders,
My family and I recently relocated to Florida, but will always have
fond memories of our time spent in the high mountains of Colorado.

junco-like chip note. Approach carefully through gate as the path is

birding news of late,
as it has been hopping with warblers and other fun birds. Over many years

in Colorado.

Folks- the 08:00-09:00 shift saw the Anna's Hummingbird in my back yard

out as far as I can tell. But just a minute ago (16:50) I saw the bird back
in the Agastache flowers. I wonder if it has other feeders or flowers in
Another nice fall day..we were freezing as we started opening about 6:40,
but were warm and comfortable by about 8 a.m. This before dawn stuff

catching

Greetings All,
At Last Chance today, there was a HERMIT WARBLER, likely immature female, kitty
corner from the rest stop, feeding on the ground under some sunflowers. It may
have flown over to the rest stop after Cathy Sheeter and I left. The

Birders,
After getting a call from Steve Stachowiak, (as I had missed the email re:
Mlodinow's great find) I hustled out to Last Chance passing Joey, Steve and
Paul(?) going the other way. Joey called to tell me where the bird was so I
pulled in near the mail boxes at about 6:10 pm with the
