Hi all!
The Tree Swallow females I recaptured in birdboxes this week (in SOS 17 and

Compared to last year when there were almost no Lark Buntings, there were more,

But no Burrowing Owls :(

It is not necessary to wait until hunting season because EC doves are not
protected by the migratory bird act,
and they are not "game" birds.
Unfortunately there are laws about discharging firearms inside city limits.

Actually, as Diane pointed out, I counted wrong.
If it was a second-year bird in 2006 then it hatched in 2005, so it would be

A friend of mine's neighbor had a window strike kill of a Yellow-billed Cuckoo
up here in Woodland Park. After taking pix, she has the bird in the freezer, in
pristine condition.
We think this might be a first record for Teller County.
