Yesterday I did some birding west of Canon City including at Texas Creek (a slow down in the road with a cafe) and the nearby Texas Creek BLM area. I saw one Pinyon Jay and heard several more in a large patch of tall skunkbush and a flock of Bushtits in some rabbitbrush in another part of the BLM area. I walked across the bridge over the Arkansas River and on my return a very young Common Raven flew onto a fence about 15 feet in front of me. I got a few very super close-ups before it scared my little dog (who weighs a lot more but was smaller than the raven) who barked at it causing it to fly off. I have posted the photos, so close-up you can almost count the feathers on their heads, on my BirdsAndNature<http://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com>blog. I also posted about recent research about birder impacts.
The two juvenile prob hybrid phoebes continue at my friend's place east of Canon City--they are now 23 days post fledging and the longest I have ever been able to follow young phoebes after they fledged.
