Hi Tina, That one went right past me! But when you pointed it out I got quite a chuckle. I think of my "Ring-billed Duck" mistakes, etc. I too would love to see a "broad-winged hummingbird!" Rosanne Juergens On Sunday, April 19, 2020 at 8:06:17 PM UTC-6, tjcalliope wrote: > > Sorry, I was readi

[cobirds] Violet-green and Tree Swallows

CObirders, I saw both a Violet-green and a Barn Swallow while doing a wildlife survey near Flatirons Crossing. Interestingly, I saw just one of each. Both flew right by my head between buildings, so I might have missed other swallows flying higher. (Also my survey included several Am. Avocets
