YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REIMBURSE SEARCH & RESCUE IN COLORADO AT ANY TIME! Colorado and the vast majority of states do not charge for search and rescue services. Only New Hampshire can and does charge for Search & Rescue. For more information on this see:

Fantastic info! I agree... I also strongly believe ALL birders should purchase a duck stamp. Many of us spend lots of time around and in the NWR’s. Appreciate your insights! Lori Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 13, 2020, at 7:31 AM, Mike Hensley wrote: > >  > I actually think a watchers

I am guessing that it's a young bald eagle. Partly because of the white part in the tail, but still mostly dark in the rest of its body, with the exception of some white spots in the chest. On Monday, July 13, 2020 at 1:45:27 PM UTC-6, The "Nunn Guy" wrote: > > Hi all > > Photoed this handsome

I'm guessing 2- to 3-year-old bald eagle based on the ventral view of white tail with narrow dark outer edge and irregular dark band on tail tip. Bird also has white and dark streaks on the neck area. Cere appears to be partially yellow. Large bill. Dark eye. Sure has a full crop. n

At last a Cobirds post that I can chime in on! Peter is of course correct on his Australian-native Budgerigar information, but let me add that for many years “Budgies” were an ABA/AOU “countable” species, although not in Colorado. In the last couple of decades of the previous century large
