Re: [cobirds] Birders too close to a rare bird--Pella Crossing

I like Ted's article. A lot. To add another scenario: a yellow-crowned night heron, an unusual bird for Boulder County but not for the nation, was taking a frustrating first migration break along the shore of a pond in a park in Hygiene. Lots of Colorado birders came to see it. A lifer for a few

[cobirds] Snow Geese flyover Highlands Ranch

Just had 50-75 Snow Geese flyover my house in Highlands Ranch. Very cool. Heard first and then seen in a broad V heading directly south. Glad I was out shoveling the deck. We got 3-4 inches. Only second time for the yard list. Gregg Goodrich Highlands Ranch -- -- You received this message becau

[cobirds] Meadowlark identification

Folks, I saw two meadowlarks today in Teller County (late for this elevation [about 8,000 feet asl] in my experience). At least one gave me pause; it didn't look like a typical western meadowlark to me. Any thoughts/comments are welcome. https://ebird.org/checklist/S121849907 Mike -- -- Yo
