I have visited Shumway Road in Fountain, Colorado, many times.
During the summer, the hayfields along this road have always produced Blue
Grosbeaks.
Today, one Blue Grosbeak appeared. Yes!
But I also was given a second treat - a Dickcissel.
Lifer! Yes

After a delicious lunch at Chick-fil-A, my wife, daughter, and I decided to
check out Shumway Road in Fountain. Wanted to get a glimpse of a
Bobolink. Struck out on the Bobolink, but got good views of a Dickcissel.
May have heard a second, but couldn't confirm it.

An interesting and successful morning:
1. Found two Dickcissels just off Hanover road where the Frost Ranch sign
is. The birds were on the power lines that run to the south.along a ranch
road
2. Saw rattlesnake previously reported by Cinnamon (it was big)
3. Got ranch hand to kill rattlesnake
Wow. Lets kill nature so you can take pictures of nature. You deserve a pat on
the back.

Birders,
In my opinion, it may be more helpful to offer suggestions on how to handle
a situation than to assign blame.
Bill Maynard, your explanation of how you've dealt with poisonous snakes is
greatly appreciated.
Just my 2 cents.

Thats a bummer. I was hoping to go out there and photograph that snake when
I get back into town.

Sounds like an unfortunate and disturbing morning to me. I totally do not
understand #3 below. See a rattlesnake? Walk away.

There are many ways to move a snake without destroying it. Please consider
that in the future.

All, if anyone encounters a snake that they feel is a danger/problem in the
Boulder area, please feel free to contact me. I am trained to handle
rattlesnakes and I am called on to remove and relocate them from people's
yards at least a couple times a year.

Seems like this was a “teachable moment” for the ranch-hand.

Linda,
Humans need to realize when they are out in nature they are in the homes of
the ones that live there and therefor humans need to think if this was my home
would I protect it.
