Re: [cobirds] Re: Millers

I'm also watching Western Kingbirds and Says Phoebes snag those delectable millers. Probably a bonanza for many flycatchers out there. Influence Through Excellence DuWayne Worthington Instructional Faculty - Science 303.471.3278|duwayne.worthing...@valorchristian.com 3775 Grace Blvd. Highlands R

[cobirds] Barn owl

Where on the Coal Creek trail in Erie are the barn owls? I went the other day, but saw no sign of them. I have seen barn owls before in Oregon and Idaho, but not here in Colorado. I am not a picture taker, so I don't plan on trying to get close to them. Influence Through Excellence DuWayne Wort

Re: [cobirds] Re: Yellow Grosbeak possible injury (Huerfano Co)

I was fortunate to see the yellow grosbeak at around 5:30pm today. He flew in for a few minutes to eat some seed put out on the ground to the left of the deck below the feeder. He limped when he needed to adjust his position, and often kept his right foot off of the ground. It does indeed appear

[cobirds] Continuing saga: Black-capped chickadee and red-breasted nuthatch; Littleton

Today the black-capped chickadee appeared an hour later (12 noon instead of 11), and worked on the limb cavity for about 6 minutes. You could see it taking out pieces of tree and dropping it to the ground. No nuthatches showed up but when a male house finch flew into the tree about 10 feet away an
