with a Virginia's Warbler.

For several days I have had a bird come to my feeder that I thought was
just a House Finch but it is mostly orange not red.

been eating? (See photo)

This morning around 6 am I had a Red-shouldered Hawk at the intersection of
the Poudre bike trail and E. Lincoln Ave. on the south side of the river.
It was perched on top of the conveyor machine at Ranch Way Feed. I watched
it for a couple of minutes before it flew west along the riparian
This is an orange variant of the house finch. I've had these around my
feeders all winter.

I went out plover hunting early this morning-struck out on my
selected route (older breeding route). I'll be checking the other

Wilson's Phalarope - 13
Perhaps Rob Sparks's Northern Parula is indeed making the rounds: there
was a Northern Parula at Dixon Reservoir this morning. It was feeding
along the south side of the dam, just about where the trees stop as one
walks east. I last saw it fly across the dam to the north.

in the late afternoon at Lake Estes. Not much around, but I had a great
surprise when I came upon a beautiful male Bobolink in the Matthews-Reeser Bird
Sanctuary area at the lake. I checked eBird and found Bobolink

in Colorado for over 8 years. I'm sure I'm not the only person who was
