A Yellow-bellied Sapsucker visited my seed cylinder feeder at least twice today. New to me, I immediately noticed it as something I hadn't seen before. Bigger than a Downy, smaller than a Flicker. It was fluffed up due to cold temps. So fun to see, especially on my FeederWatch bird counting

It’s very fun to watch them jet around and navigate getting twigs through birdhouse holes. We have one front and back that are both being used. The House Wrens sing their loud, bubbly songs early morning and throughout the day. I hope they raise families! Martha Jones Arvada -- You

I'm super excited to have seen a male Lazuli Bunting at my seed feeder this afternoon, just long enough for me to grab binoculars and see it clearly before it flew away. I've never even seen one before! The next bird that visited was a female Red-Winged Blackbird which I've seen before but

Don't you love seeing first time visitors at your feeder? I do! This morning a pair of Evening Grosbeak visited. This was also the first time I've seen this bird. They're molting into their winter plumage so looked very mottled. Martha Jones Arvada -- You received this message because you are

My husband and I were there on Saturday, too! It was only our 2nd visit and were quite excited to see a few Bald Eagles in one of the lakes and at least 25 roosting in a huge tree far enough away that it took binoculars to identify them. We were so grateful that someone pointed us to the

Late Monday afternoon, I spotted Wood Ducks in a little pond at the park across the street from Echter's Greenhouse on Garrison St. in Arvada. I thought there were 3 or 4 pairs until I studied my pictures and counted at least 6 pairs. This is only my second sighting, and the first was a pair in

My first-ever sighting of Cedar Waxwings happened unexpectedly yesterday around 3:30pm when I took a short walk to my neighborhood park, Wood Run Park on Hoyt, just north of 80th, in Arvada. They were feasting in a fruit tree along with Robins. Martha Jones, Arvada CO -- You received this
