Before these are no longer relevant I thought I better post some recent observations from my yard west of Fort Collins:
Saturday, May 7: FOY Black-headed Grosbeak Sunday, May 8:FOY Lazuli Bunting Monday, May 9: FOY Bullock's Oriole Tuesday, May 10: EVENING GROSBEAK (beautiful male), Black-chinned Hummingbird no sign of the grosbeak today. also a pair of Broad-tailed Hummingbirds seems to finally have set up shop. this has been the strangest start to spring here ever. for the first time in 9 years, I have no Mountain Bluebirds nesting (more on that later), I saw my first b-t hummer on April 26, and then didn't have another until 2 weeks later (usually present continuously after that date), and everything else seems to be late -- and sparse. let's hope that changes real soon.
