My home phone is working again: 720-890-2628. My cell is: 303-263-1714. Note this is a correction to the number posted in the Rare Bird Alert this morning. I'll post if I see it this AM. One birder is coming with a better camera than I have, so I hope it shows! Paula Hansley Louisville

I had a stub-tailed wren in my cinquefoil bush about 3:30 this afternoon. I watched it for several minutes and listened to it chatter. The chatter was that of the winter wren, not the Pacific wren! Paula Hansley Louisville -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

We saw 3 avocets in the lake at Belmar. They were a surprising sight among all the No. Shovelers! If anyone finds a collapsible hiking pole on the northern shore, it is probably mine. It was floating that direction. Please call 730-890-2628 if you find it. Paula Hansley, Louisville
