Jared, Glad you made this post as it is a sure sign Spring is around the corner with all the birds firing up their singing voices. We’ve had an immature Harris’s at our place in southwest Denver (Athmar Park Neighborhood, Denver Co.) all winter and he (?) is really starting to stretch his

I have a question in regards to the observed Turkey Vultures. Since they don't overwinter here and all of them are currently on the move, how can any observed TUVU's be considered local? Is there a verified roost tree nearby that contains these specific birds? What are the parameters for
