Greetings All
After missing all the fun birds at Flagler SWA, I was rather disheartened,
though a calling CHIHUAHUAN RAVEN there was a surprise. It came in calling, and
I was able to swing it back in my direction by imitating it, until two crows
(giving nice size comparison) came along to driv
Greetings All,
Alas, the Fox Sparrow from Thompson Ranch is not a Sooty Fox, or not a pure
one. The weak wingbars would be most unusual for a Sooty Fox, though the rare
individual does show this. The streaking on the back is totally wrong for Sooty
Fox. Also, the streaking on the rear flanks,
Hello friends.
Twas a magnificent day today in the foothills of Boulder County, both birdwise
and weatherwise! First sighting of the day was a terrific aerial view of a
Lewis's woodpecker flying eastward a few hundreds south of the parking lot.
Didn't ever see it land as it disappeared over t

Hey Gang! Heather and I just spent the evening chasing a first winter
GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW at the Durango Fish Hatchery Pond. The bird was not
very cooperative but Heather got some decent photos of it that she is going
through as I write this. I believe the bird was still there in the bru
Hi all,
This bird looks like a Sooty Fox Sparrow to me. Or at least it looks like
a number of the Fox Sparrows I saw in Washington a month ago, and does not
look like the Slate-colored Fox Sparrows I've seen in Colorado. Assuming
I'm right, wouldn't this represent the first record of this form f
Folks,

Flagler we observed 2 Harris's Sparrows, a Swamp Sparrow (Kathy Dunning only),
Field Sparrow, Savannah Sparrow, Lincoln Sparrow, Chipping Sparrow and
White-throated Sparrow. In Lincoln County we saw 4 Golden-cro
Birded with several folks out east today, with the highlights being a
White-eyed Vireo at Flagler Reservoir SWA (south of the lake, near railroad
tracks), and a friendly Fox Sparrow at a private ranch in Lincoln County.
Photos of the birds have been posted on my Flickr site at the address below
Hello birders,
I hope this is an okay thing to post, and not too off-topic. I wanted to
say a very sincere thank you to the birders I met during my summer in
Hayden (near Steamboat) in Colorado. I would especially like to thank Peter
Gent, David and Tresa Moulton, Nancy Merrill, Jeff and Liz Gord
A beautiful fall day at Grandview Cemetery and surrounding neighborhood in Fort

Hi COBirders,
I was the first to arrive at Upper Twin Pond this morning at 745, and the
sparrow was spotted in about ... 15 seconds!
It was still holding in the area around the "boat launch" area even as another
12 people got looks and photos.
