Conditions were not ideal at the location this morning as it was quite breezy. Bird activity was not high as even the Lark Buntings were not terribly busy. Around 7:30 I believe that I saw the 2nd bird that Dan Durda posted photos of. It was just south of the RR tracks, near where he saw it. around 8:25 the wind had calmed a bit and I heard one Baird's sing intermittently for about five minutes. But I could never find it in my scope. Several other birders were out there but none of them were having any luck. I guess my experience doing plains BBS routes in the wind helped me hear the bird. Very glad I wasn't going for my life bird, as I got that in 2009 up in North Dakota where they are a bit easier - but the wind doesn't stop up their either!
Are there any opinions on the id on Dan's second bird? Randy Siebert, Lafayette -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
