This morning I was driving east on Hwy. 7 and was just west of the Platte River
(near Brighton in Adams County). As I'm always on the lookout for birds I
noticed two large raptor-sized birds fly north across the Hwy. I kept glancing
to try and figure out which species (not the best light). Al

Good evening to all!
I was contacted by a gentleman here in Colorado Springs who will be traveling
to Bhutan for ten days in June. He is looking to speak with or meet with
someone who has traveled to and birded in Bhutan. He would like to get some
first-hand information on what

Re "early birds", I didn't realize that they were unusually early when I

This morning one lone spotted towhee was calling for a babysan on Reservoir
Ridge in west Fort Collins. Dozens of meadowlarks were singing in the
meadow.
In Mid-March we were in Cave Creek Canyon AZ and we saw several early

Similar tree removal has occurred at the traditional roosts in Boulder and
Longmont. The vultures were quite adaptable - moving to other trees in the
area of the original roost, or a block or two away. Continuous use of the
spruce trees by the birds gives the trees a characteristic bare branch l

Interesting assessment Dave, it will be interesting see which 'option' the
birds choose. Let's hope for everyone's sake the vultures choose to move at
least part of their group to somewhere where they won't be bothered, or bother
others. There are certainly plenty of available trees and this ca
Swarms of gulls are on Lake Ladora and the fields to the west. In fact,
just as you come on to the property, you will see thousands of them. I

Further to the discussion of early birds, a Chipping Sparrow showed up inour
yard on Mar. 6, and has come in to feed with a flock of juncos more less daily
since then. We've watched its crown turn from streaky, vaguely rust, to pretty
much all rust by the end of March.

I wanted to add my two-cents worth on this interesting conversation. There
