For the second time while looking for Bohemians I stumbled upon a large mixed flock made up mostly of bushtits. At least 13,  certainly many more. This was along Robinson Pl. Where the road crosses the ditch and trail at 11:50am. I also had a single Eastern Bluebird on the shore of the still

Hi all, My father and I just stopped by Pueblo Mountain Park about 2 miles south-west of Beulah to see if the Acorn Woodpecker was still there from last year. We pulled into the Mountain Park Enviornmental Center. When you pull in, there is one plainly dead pine tree. We saw two Acorn

Today Cathy Sheeter, David Dowell and I played Reservoir Roulette. Little Jumbo was partially open, and had a few hundred white geese upon it. Jumbo Jumbo Reservoir was mostly an ice cube, with about 5% of the water open, mostly in the ne. corner. Entertainingly, they opened the reservoir for
