Birders,
After a one day absence, the female-type Purple Finch I reported from my

or impossible to relocate. Birders are welcome to try, provided I

Hi All,
I spotted 14 Tundra Swans and 1 Snow Goose out in the east end of Valmont
Reservoir this afternoon. I watched them from the City of Boulder Open Space
and Mountain Parks Annex office off 75th St. This area is open to the public,

Hi COBirders,
I haven't seen others mention it, but I am having a Pine Siskin irruption in my

I had a TENNESSEE WARBLER briefly at noon today at the PERC gardens in the
southwest corner of the Fort Collins CSU campus. I was collecting and

Dave gave me a heads up about the Tennessee Warbler today and I went see
for myself. I prowled around the block-sized arboretum for more than an
hour without much luck. With only a handful of common birds and a high
flying Bald Eagle, I was ready to give it up but thought I should take one
This is a couple days old but decided it might be of enough interest to
mention. On Tuesday at the Plant Environmental Research Center (PERC) gardens
north of W. Lake Street in the southwest corner of the CSU campus in Fort

Also, Vicki Monroe, south of Franktown, reported two Gray-crowned Rosy-Finches
