COBirders,
Yesterday afternoon Stan Murphy of Burlington sent me his photo, asking for an I.D. I have sent a copy of his photograph of an American Woodcock to Rachel Hopper requesting inclusion in CFO's photo gallery on our webpage. Here is part of the email Stan sent: "I took the picture this afternoon (11/28/11) near 840 N 13th Street, Burlington, Colorado 80807. We have been watching it for about a week out in the lawns bobbing its head up and down driving its bill into the bluegrass to get insects, just as you have described. When anyone would get too close to it, it would take short flight to get under cover within the evergreen shrubs around the houses." --For the benefit of our less experienced COBirds subscribers, this species' normal range extends west to eastern Kansas, and its habitat is woody areas with good ground cover. So one in town in eastern Colorado is quite unusual. Leon Bright Pueblo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
