Great information -- thank you all for the insight! Indeed, that's why I never trust a new-to-me bird on Merlin alone. And I was on the observation deck, right beneath the trees where I've seen yellow warblers the month or two (and saw at least 3 yesterday). -- -- You received this mes

Enjoying these sightings. I’m in Beulah, Colorado, today, and late afternoon Sandhills were calling on both sides of the valley. Pretty neat to hear! On Friday, October 6, 2023 at 6:08:38 PM UTC-6 Libby Edwards wrote: > At 7:30 am today we had a flock of about 80-100 fly over our northwest >

What a fun thread! I am in the heart of urban Denver and have had feeders up/been birding for only a couple of years. My yard total is just 39 species. We have a National Wildlife Federation-certified yard (just for fun) with some fruiting trees and lots of brush and piles of junk, but also ver

Thanks for this detailed description! I walked the canal here this afternoon (1 pm-ish) across the High Line Canal Trail from Blackmer Lake. I could hear the waxwings and spent a long time trying to get a good glimpse of them and some photos. There were at least 4-6 Bohemian waxwings with the g
