For the second morning in a row, we've had Western tanagers refueling at our suet feeders. Saw one male yesterday, which stayed only about 15 minutes, and one male and female today. The last of the spring migration left here on May 28. John Ealy Roxborough Park, Douglas County CO -- You recei

I second Gary's question. When Cynthia reported the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher last month, you had to go through all the Cherry Creek SP sites to find the details. An aggregate would have helped to find the site & details more easily. Unfortunately, Doug's bar charts don't help with specific si

Hi Bryan! I'm not an expert with waterfowl, but based off of your photo, I'd suggest not entirely eliminating the possibility that this is a domestic type goose. I could be wrong, but I would assume any swan to be much larger (I'm not sure how far away you were from the bird when you got this ph

Just a clarification on Cooley Lake and this swan from "the management." This is indeed a mute swan, an escapee from a nearby polo community pond. Several times in the last few years we have chased it down and returned it to its home. With staff resources extremely limited due to the pandemic

Thanks Hugh, for confirming that I’m not an outlier! The other thing this underlines is the “helpfulness” of using more specific hotspots (like Cherry Creek SP - Railroad Bed). And for putting more specific details in the notes. I’m not saying something new . . . just reiterating what we’ve bee

Thank you, Skot - thought I’d found something rare, but at least I got the ID right. I thought my post was clear enough, but apparently not. I took the photos from the sidewalk on the North side of Mineral, in the exact corner you described, through the fence. It’s disappointing to me that pe

The only person that comes to mind is Felice Chimney - she is active on the DFO page and I met her once for birding but I don't know much about her to know if she would be interested or appropriate as a board member. The other is Jordan Spalding who I think is associated with Denver Audubon maybe?

[cobirds] Probable Long-tailed Jaeger - Jackson Reservoir

Hi all, This afternoon my brother and I saw what we have tentatively identified as a Long-tailed Jaeger on the NE side of Jackson Reservoir in Morgan County. It was spooked often by boat traffic but should still be in the area. Good numbers of shorebirds were at Jackson and nearby Prewitt Res
