You know how the announcer says, "This guy is automatic from the foul line", and then he proceeds to brick two shots? Seems like all I have to do is announce a bird is "gone" from Grandview Cemetery (Fort Collins, Larimer) and it shows back up. The other day, after not seeing, for four consecutive, multi-hour visits, either Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in any of the very well known places they had been for several weeks, I opened my mouth. Of course, today both the adult male sapsucker and the juvenile were in their assigned seats: the adult in the Austrian Pine grove east of the porta potty just out on the golf course in the southwestern part of the cemetery, and the juvenile in the Scots Pine in the northeastern corner of the cemetery west of the ditch. Heretofore, the adult has always been in an odd-numbered pine counting east from the porta potty (1st, 3rd, 5th, or 7th). Today it was in the 4th.
Also present were the two Golden-crowned Kinglets, both adult Great Horned Owls, and two Red Fox. Total of 17 bird species.
