In a week without much birding news, perhaps this incident will amuse.
At 6 AM in my garden, a female hummer twice approached within an inch
of my urine stream. Of course I tried to discourage her. I believe she was
confused because, in the same spot at the same time 2 days ago, I was
standing ri
My neighborhood social medium (Nextdoor) had 4 reports of Black Witch last
week.
It's a perhaps 6 or 8 square mile area east of Golden and west of Denver.
Also, many reports of
Blinded Sphinx and a couple of Achemon Sphinx.

Re: Black Vulture Wheatridge Greenbelt
I saw this bird too, from the WGB bike path at 10 AM, over Golden, circling
higher and seemingly headed north. Most striking was the extremely short
tail.
Next, a large white wing patch repeatedly visible in one wing. When I got
home, after consulting gu
Bob had a memorable voice. His voice box lent itself to comedy, which he
was always happy to exploit. My last memory of him was
a comic crowing "I'm still here!" announcing to anyone who might be
wondering if Robert Spencer was still around. Indeed.

Robert Righter's congratulations on an achievement prompts me to thank and

in 3 giant days, I'm pretty sure she wins the title.

Tucker Gulch is the creek that exits Golden Gate Canyon. The upper end of
the greenbelt along the gulch can be accessed by turning onto Mesa at the
Golden Gate Canyon light.
The lower end can be accessed by exiting SH 58 at Boyd St and continuing
the short distance to Ford St and Garden St.

The Northern Waterthrush continues --seen 10 AM where 1st St crosses the
gulch. Not in the creek itself, but in a little wetland just north of the
street.
The Black-throated Blue Warbler, however, was apparently not seen today.

Still there today, a little higher up the gulch, in the area of the Free
Library cabinet just down from the bridge. Many other species
(Catbird, Orange-crowned, Lazuli, Hummingbird, Cooper's) AND a Waterthrush.
I did not personally see the Waterthrush, but 2
seemingly very good birders told me

Not with dippers, but with Robins and Bluebirds.
Watched over a dozen Robins and over a dozen Western Bluebirds walking
over cobbles and boulders in the river, furiously pecking up something
(midges?) from the rocks. With them, a few Mt Bluebirds, a Yellow-rumped,
a Vesper Sparrow, and (briefly) a

Birds of a size swim together? Or that particular stretch of river
suited presumably similar feeding habits?

Fearless Black-capped Chickadees came within a few feet of me to
sip the sap dripping from pruned canes. Unable to hover, they
couldn't get to all the drips, but enjoyed what they could get. They
do this every year.

This is puzzling. I was there for about 2 hours this morning and witnessed
everyone keeping substantial distance. Even the cars were parked with
large spacing. The only people I saw closer than 6' were husband and wife
couples.

The Swamp Sparrow and Tree Sparrow continue along Clear Creek W. of I-70.
More exciting is the Bobcat sleeping during the day in the same area!
