Not all the reports are in, but we had two great birds for a CBC in
Colorado. A female *Acorn Woodpecker* was observed by Marty Wolf's team
near the North Cheyenne Canyon area. A *Palm Warbler* found earlier in the
week by Saraiya Ruano on The Colorado College campus was also observed
Longmont Christmas Bird Count had a preliminary total of 92 species(a
couple of areas had not reported in yet). One species was found for the first
time: A Eastern Phoebe in St. Vrain Park in south central Longmont. Other

Late this morning, our CBC group consisting of Jill Holden, Meredith McBurney,
Betty Glass and myself, found three Eastern Bluebirds on the Lockheed Martin

123 Species of birds were found on today's Pueblo Reservoir CBC, compiled by

without everyone's help!
Two new species were added to the coun
Finally, yesterday 12/14, I had a male redpoll. He was in my hedge/bush for
a few minutes, flew to the platform feeder (sunflower-thistle-standard
birdseed mix), was there less than a minute, went back to the hedge,and was
gone in another minute.
Today there was a female, almost in the same
Actually, I think the redpolls are racing in a Big Year. They individually

Greetings All
Today I birded from Broomfield n. to Loveland. Highlights were as follows

their finds to COBIRDS, so I will respect their apparent
Hi All,
The Western Palm Warbler that has been hanging around Colorado College
campus the past few days was seen several times today (12/15), as early as
8:40 and as late as 5. The bird has been hanging around in the shrubs on

The redpoll from yesterday is back today. He's a beautifully plumaged
male, just one. He ignores the thistle feeder and feeds on the ground and
from the "regular" feeder, which is just a standard seed mix.

Hi, folks--
My turn to chortle. I'm probably the last to see them but two very light
individuals turned up on our feeders yesterday. They were here for 5 minutes
and then gone again, to delight somebody else who has been heretofore
redpoll-less, I hope. But more importantly, I hope they turn up in
