Peter et al,
The bird at Red Rocks was photographed by Steve Mlodinow, not me.
Unfortunately I got no photos of the recent Crow Valley bird. In his post,
Steve said the Red Rocks bird was a good candidate for a hybrid between
Red-backed and Gray-headed. The other marks (besides the bill col
Doug & Cobirds,
Since we're on the topic of Red-backed vs. Gray-headed Juncos, the field
mark I've been relying on is bill color: single color for Gray-headed,
bi-colored in the case of Red-backed. My question is whether this character
is diagnostic or not? The Junco David photographed at Red Rocks
Today on my way to work I saw a small bird of prey swooping from perch to
perch across Downing at Ellsworth. I decided to leave my route to work to
get a better look. I was able to view the bird several more times on
Marion and identified it as a Sharp-shinned Hawk. Gotta love birding on
the way
Greetings All
I am not certain how much redder the back of a Red-backed Junco is than that of
a Gray-headed. However, Red-backed Juncos are somewhat larger billed and have
more extensive black on the bill.
Last winter, I had a bird that has been judged a good candidate for a
Red-backed x Gra
David,
The Colorado Bird Records Committee does not have any record for that
subspecies and I am unaware of any extralimital reports for other states
north of its range. My understanding is that Red-backed Junco does very
little (if any) seasonal movement in a way that would be considered

Went by Metzger Farm today around 3:30pm. Metzger Farm is the new open
space park managed jointly by Broomfield and Westminster. The park is in
Westminster - Adams County - but right on the edge of Broomfield at 121st

This afternoon I found a Common Loon (appeared to be a first summer
plumage) at North Poudre Reservoir #3 in Larimer County (off of N.
County Rd. 11...near E. County Rd. 66). I was facing Northwest when I
saw it, it was a ways out there but got great views with my scope.
Believe it or not that's a
Happy Easter, Birders,

Nothing unusual to report from here. The typical species were around:
Nuthatches, Mountain Chickadee, Townsend's Solitaire, Western Bluebirds,
and at least one Williamson's Sapsucker. There may have been as many as
three or four. I just couldn't be sure if I was seeing multiples or if I

growing number of birds. Of note just around Cottonwood pond the last two
days:

- Green Wing Teal
- Black Crowned Night Heron
- Lesser Scaup
- Mallards
- Coots
- Gadwells

Birders,
this afternoon Tammy and I went over to Red Rocks looking for sparrows. As
I feared, way to many people and too many asses who decided they had to
explore the pond area behind the Trading Post.
However, in scanning the rocks, we located 1 Peregrine on the rock just
north of the TP as se
The other day, buried amid a mixed-subject post, I asked (so far unanswered) if
anyone on this listserv knows whether the so-called "Red-backed" Dark-eyed
Junco has occurred in Colorado and/or whether it has any history whatsoever of
occurring outside its normal range of Arizona to West Texas.
Greetings birders -
Friday and Saturday, Jeff and I headed down to SE Colorado for a short
get-a-way. We lucked out with exceptional weather (moderate temps,
light winds) and even found a few decent birds:
Holbrook Reservoir: Partially filled with water. A good assortment of ducks.
Lake Cheraw
The beautiful waxwings are still here, though in greatly reduced numbers. Id
estimate 80-100. We witnessed a mass - 600+ - exodus here last Monday.
