Hello, Birders. Just a few notes of interest, perhaps, to Boulderites. Sat., July 18th, with Kei, Hannah, and Andrew. Along the Fowler Trail, 1 Lewis's Woodpecker. This bird was in a tall ponderosa pine just past the 2nd switchback. (This is the switchback that goes through the mini-canyon.) I can't guarantee that the bird is still there, as I accidentally through a rock at it and flushed it, and it flew away in a huff. Honest, it was a total accident. Ask offline for details. Or ask Hannah. She was complicit. Sun., July 19th, also with Kei, Hannah, and Andrew. Up at Allenspark, 3 or 4 male Rufous Hummingbirds, but no Calliopes, yet, that I was able to lay eyes on. Any day now, I suspect... There were 4 ridiculously close-up Type 2 Red Crossbills at the feeders: 1 adult male, 1 adult female, 2 juveniles. Definitely close enough for detailed study of bill structure; and they were fairly vocal, too. Plus, the usual stuff: Band-tailed Pigeon, Cassin's Finch, a pile of Pygmy Nuthatches, etc. Ted Floyd [email protected] Lafayette, Boulder County, Colorado ------------------------------- Ted Floyd Editor, Birding ------------------------------- Please support the American Birding Association: Click on http://www.goodsearch.com/?charityid=884482 to search the internet.
