Hi all! Got some outside time this weekend by camping at Jackson Lake. The lake is pretty full of water. Lots of *pelicans*! Boat activity was heavy. Friday night, we heard two *eastern screech owls* trilling and four *great-horned owls* calling, all after midnight (north end of lakeside campgroun

Hello all, Yesterday myself and Jim Merritt (fully vaccinated) did some birding in Otero County and nearby areas. Both Holbrook Reservoir and Horse Creek Reservoir are very low right now with excellent shorebird habitat, although Horse Creek is still deep enough it has some diving ducks on it whil

Deb, I'm glad you cleared that up. I couldn't figure out what you really meant. I did get Dave's tongue in cheek post. Remember the Roadrunner 'plucking' it's feathers post years ago? That post wasn't proofread either. Ira Sanders On Sun, Apr 4, 2021, 2:22 PM 'Deborah Carstensen' via Colorado Bi

Acckkk! Dang it!! I didn’t realize that Siri changed bushtits to pushed its! Of course I’ve made much worse errors along this line in the past. I have thought it was interesting that I’ve had just one or two bushtits in my yard where I normally would have a little flock of them come thr

I'll take a shot at an ID. A lone pushed it was nibbling on something tasty in the yard the other day. With their typical flocking behavior, I suspected pairing off for the breeding season was underway. But then again, maybe it was just temporarily separated from comrades? eBird checklist below ht

Umm, excuse me for being totally uninformed, but in case I'm not the only one, can someone please tell me what you're talking about when you say "pushed his" and "pushed its" I haven't a clue! Mary Kay Waddington Arapahoe County On Sun, Apr 4, 2021 at 12:46 PM DAVID A LEATHERMAN wrote: > Glad

Glad to see the AOS finally came to its senses and split Pushed His and Pushed It's. They are hard to separate but once you study their behavior a while, and hear their vocalizations, clearly two species. You are lucky to have both in your yard. Dave Leatherman Fort Collins ___

I was surprised to see a tree swallow swoop in and fly around my swallow nest box. It seems early! Luckily, the boxes are cleaned out. I imagine it’ll be a while before he’s back. I’ve also been happy to see pushed his gathering nesting material from my garden! I’ve never had pushed it’s n
