I took a big loop through Boulder County today and while I had lots of species (69), not that many of special note. The family of 5 Tundra Swans were at Sombrero Marsh this morning and the Cattle Egret was at Walden Ponds (all previously reported). Hawthorne Gully had no Cardinals and I found

While we were patiently waiting for the reappearance of the Brambling (at 4:25), a few of us had a brief view of two Common Redpolls ~2:45. They didn't partake in the Thanksgiving feast on the bridge. The redpolls perched on a tree to the right of the bridge just long enough for an ID before

Thanks for the update (I've let the Kansas birders know, that were waiting to see if there was late in the sighting of it or not).  If there is a little seed left, tomorrow early morning, would be people's best bet on seeing it.  After that, who knows.  Good luck everyone who is still hoping to

I saw it this afternoon at 4:25pm. A very small group of us got a nice look as it came to the bridge 3 times in about a 5 minute time span. As I was leaving the area just after the sunset, a woman told me she had gotten one more good look at 4:45pm. She said it stayed on the bridge for about

Happy Thanksgiving! While watching the Brambling , a park ranger drove up and posted a "Do NOT feed the birds" sign. Any seed deposits will now have to be made clandestinely . As one of the group observed, you could fill your pockets and let it trickle down your pant legs as you walk over th
