Hi All,

Lisa and I did a morning trip to the Monte Refuge and Home Lake. Most ducks are
in with Canvasback, Bufflehead and Lesser Scaup around. The Yellow-headed
Blackbirds (or Black-bodied Yellow Birds as a friend used to say) are in with
Marsh Wrens now singing in the cattails. Most wetlands have
Hi cobirders. No Tuesday birders. A snow day. So slept in and at
9AM from my bed I can see out the window the 50 year old Juniper with
its tangle of heavy limbs
with its canopy of snow cover. The roof keeps the canopy away so I

We're trying to decide whether to get an Android or an IPhone. All our birding
friends seem to use the IPhone birding apps with great success. However our

Hello birders,
For this year’s CFO Cortez convention our president, Jim Beatty of Durango,
created 19 field trips based on his advanced birding in southeast Colorado
over many years. Bill Kaempfer also contributed to this planning. For these
