The other day I posted about the discovery of a Black-chinned Hummingbird nest at Grandview Cemetery in Fort Collins. I said if there was interest in seeing this nest we could schedule a little field trip to view the proceedings. There was interest and I am scheduling two visits to hopefully accommodate those wanting to participate.
Wednesday (day after tomorrow), August 1 at 5pm. Meet at the entrance to the cemetery at the west end of Mountain Avenue, park near the stone building that used to serve as the cemetery office. Sunday, August 5 at 8am. Same meeting arrangement as above. It is about a 150 yard walk (one and a half football fields) from the entrance to the nest. If walking is an issue for anyone, I could provide directions to a parking spot very near the nest. Hopefully nothing happens to the nest between now and these dates. I observed the nest for about 4 hours yesterday between 9a and 1p and witnessed a whopping 3 brief nest visits. Activity should pick up this week as the young get bigger and more needy. If you have a scope, bring it. Dave Leatherman Fort Collins -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
