We had something similar happen at our house yesterday, when my wife & a
friend noticed a seemingly dead house finch hanging down from a metal

The past few days, an Ash-throated Flycatcher has been checking out
nest boxes near our house, just west of the South Bay area of

so we'll watch to see if a mate shows up and they nest here again.

On Tuesday morning and again today, we observed a pair of
Ash-throated Flycatchers in the ponderosa pines surrounding our
house, just west of the South Bay area of Horsetooth Reservoir. One
bird was very vocal ('kabrick) and the other was silent. (Last July,
we had a similarly-behaving
