At about 4:15 a few more of us saw the bird. We found it about a mile north of teds place, on the north side of 287 on the other side from the sawmill. This is further up the road from where Dave Wade saw it. The road bends northward at this place and then continues straight north afterwards. The bird was headed back west when we left.
Good but brief views. The wind is blowing like crazy and it seems to be struggling to forage. -Megan, Fort Collins, Co On Mon, Oct 3, 2016 at 3:19 PM, John Shenot <[email protected]> wrote: > FYI this local rarity was originally reported on the Fort Collins Audubon > Society facebook page by Daniel Stangeland, a birder visiting from Florida > who probably hasn't heard of COBIRDS.
