Barrows continuing and showing well between noon and 1:30 this afternoon. Back and forth from east to west as the 30-ish Common Goldeneye and 20+ Hooded Merganser did, finally settling into bathing and preening after a while, with the sun at our backs, for great views. Dave Cameron Denver

Hi Everyone, Today 11/17 I saw two Long-tailed Ducks at Lagerman Reservoir in Longmont. The brighter of the two came close enough for me to get some digiscope photos, and Peter Burke got some much better images with a real camera. Looks like there's just one face smudge, not two, which points t

I'm not in Colorado right now, but I'm passing along a sighting of two Canyon Wrens, singing, on the Gem Lake Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park.  Our daughter and some friends hiked the trail on Saturday and got to see and hear the birds.  eBird shows Canyon Wrens aren't reported up in this
