At about 11 AM today a Winter/Pacific Wren was observed at Pella Crossing,
Boulder County south of Hygiene. We saw it for brief looks 3 times over a 20
minute period as close as 10 feet. It seemed to be very ruddy for a Winter
Wren but I did not not anything definitive for either species and

I saw a Mississippi Kite soaring high over St. Vrain State Park, east of
Longmont, Weld County on 5/10. It circles under a storm cloud, riding the

I think you must mean 50 plus Horned Grebes, not Least. Also a Red-necked
Grebe in the NW corner along the cattails. Tried to get all 6 possible grebes

Joe was an amazing man. When he retired from teaching he took up birding and
was an awesomely fast learner. With the help of Jerry Cairo (from whom a lot
