Dear CoBirders,
Just to highlight an opportunity to explore some of Park County's fabulous
high country - so nice and cool and filled now with flowers and flowing
waters! 3 spaces are still available for a Denver Field Ornithologist

I would guess bobwhite as well. There are farms that raise them as game birds

PS The only bobwhite I have ever seen was roaming the driveway at the entrance

Sparrows.

Hello, this morning I experienced a male blue jay protecting a tree from
other males. After he had won the battle he went to the feeder got some
