COBirders, since Mary Kay Waddington encouraged me, I have added
Flammulated Owl to Bryan Guarente's list. I had the great pleasure to have a
mated pair fly in and perch on our cabin deck railing, about eight feet from
where I was sitting. I heard a soft vocalization and turned my head slowly

We lived on the west side of Colorado Springs (near Manitou) from 1972 -
1982. Three blocks south of Garden of the Gods, where we walked our dogs
most days.
List was about 120 species (I don't find the list right now). First
sparked a real interest in birds when we had *Evening Grosbeaks
Another historical list. Although we've lived out of state for 20+ years
now, we still have many cherished memories of birds and birding in Colorado
during our formative birding years.
*Location:* Penrose, at about 5300' elevation in foothills, pinyon-juniper,
prairie edge, on 10 acres.
Hi all,
The list keeps growing! Now with Vermilion Flycatcher, Lesser Nighthawk,
and White-eyed Vireo we're up to *382. *
I would like to apologize for any confusion related to my RFI about the
Black-chinned Sparrow. I should have been more specific about which
sighting I was referring to. The

CObirders,
Thanks for this fascinating discussion.
I'd like to mention my yard list, not the birds on it so much, but the
physical list itself. For 18 years I kept it on paper in the kitchen where
I could easily consult it (and reminisce about past sightings when there
weren't any birds around.)
Try Orion Telescopes - We have their filters for our binoculars and our
birding scope and they work well. Conversely, a solar telescope is
a wonderful thing!

How long have you been keeping your list? April 2020—keeping a list was a
pandemic idea. Only one bird on the list was only observed prior to that—a
very memorable Northern
Thanks, Kevin — I’m currently still considering this option. I cringe at my
construction skills, though.-- Margaret

Hi all,
For those interested, I thought I would share this list of species not yet
ticked on the aggregate yard list. Many fall into the category of "yeah,
right." But, still a lot of potential.
There are a few species I am wondering about for various reasons.
*Little Gull*: Found in a pond in
I had one day where I had three different intergrades at the same time. One
female and one male each of which had strong red red chevron on the nape.
Another male had a weak red chevron. I've always wondered if they were
siblings.

Here is what I've seen through the last 30 years in my yard.
Began keeping list at this 0.77-acre lot in downtown Pueblo across the street
from Mineral Palace Park in 1994. Been Feeding birds, providing dripper bird
bath, planting numerous wildlife friendly trees/shrubs.
177 species as of
Hi Margaret, You might look for solar films instead of pre-made filters. I
did this for the 2017 eclipse when I couldn't find an appropriately sized
filter and ended up crafting my own filter cover. I'm not sure what brand
I used at the time, but these can be found at photo stores such as B
For people who are in to yard listing and/or citizen science, you might be
interested in a new gadget.
I recently bought a haikubox. This is a box you plug in to an external
outlet at your home and it constantly listens for birds and uses your wifi.
You use an app or website to see what it
PPS- I should have read the directions a little morel closely- I would say I
fall into the obsessed category- I keep 10-15 feeders active, depending upon
the season, and have a semi-wild area on my back hill, as I live in a little
valley and the upper back yard areas on the street are not
PS- my yard list dates to 1988.

Good morning Thomas - In my yard, located on the north side of Green Mountain
in Lakewood, I have seen 133 species. By far the most notable was a bronzed
cowbird. This bird appeared at a neighbor's feeders in June of 1990, and
stayed at that location (about a mile from my house) long enough
Hi all,
Another quick update on the lists. In addition to the 350 species on Google
list that Bryan has set up, I have another 26 species from birders who have
sent lists directly to me.
So the current total # of species: *376*
Getting close to 400!
I hope to have the list I'm compiling
Thanks, Diana. I’ve got 2 of these on order for cameras, but my binoculars
don’t have long tubes to put these on.-- Margaret
