Thank you, Diana Beatty. Finally my thoughts exactly expressed on this list, and expressed beautifully.How this discussion ever became either names OR conservation is puzzling indeed. They are not mutually exclusive goals.I believe in both respect and conservation. And personally, since learning mo
pictured on the singing video
that are exactly what I saw yesterday.
So, I gonna count as a new yard bird.
I would love it if it decided to nest under our neighbors’ deck.

Lateral but still birdy shift here: I’ve been watching bushtits picking off and
downing buds from our Flowering Quince bushes in March for years, sometimes
chickadees. At first I thought they might be going for insect larvae, but I now
think it’s the flower buds.

Dear birders,
I agree with reducing the temptation to chase birds in our time of Corvid-19
crisis. As citizen scientists and Colorado defenders we would do well to shout
out our support of strict stay-at-home practices.

Happily the PW lives. He returned at 1:15 pm today, but was disappointed by our
lack-luster starling food replacement system and found little suet.
He is in no way a regular visitor. Yet. We live near Colorado Blvd and Mineral
