This afternoon one of my duties was to go to a ground breaking for a new building on the CU Boulder campus. As I stood at the edge of the crowd waiting through the various (and fortunately short) speeches I noticed a nest in a linden tree between Hallett Hall and Korbel Business building with an American Crow starting to stir around in it. As the crow climbed onto the edge of the nest another crow came in (to another linden) right over the pavilion put up for the ground breaking. The second crow scraped its beak along a branch-the avian equivalent of brushing its teeth before bedtime, I guess--flew into the nest and took its place while the first one flew off. So chalk up a crow on nest (or nest with eggs since they were obviously incubating?) for the CU Boulder campus. Even the most ordinary birds can capture one's attention in the right moment.
Also today I saw the pair of White-winged Scoters on Baseline Reservoir previously noted by Christian Nunes.
