Hello, Birders. Kei, Hannah, Andrew, and I actually went birding in Broomfield County yesterday evening, Friday, July 3rd. Habitat was typical for the county: Flatirons Mall. Just before 8pm, we saw and heard about 15 Common Nighthawks moving west over the incomprehensibly vast western sector of the mall's parking lot. Could they have been early migrants? Those nighthawks, by the way, were a county lifebird for me! #33 since I've been keeping records on eBird. According to eBird, that makes me the 6th greatest Broomfield birder of all time.

It is a doozie, however: Sandhill Crane, back on October 13, 2006. Less facetiously, the "Top 100" feature of eBird is intriguing to explore: http://ebird.org/ebird/top100Location.form Have fun! It is addictive.
