Spring came on quick this week, with the arrival of Barn and Northern Rough-winged Swallows and Swainson's Hawks in the little portion of west Centennial I bird (Arapahoe).
But I'm writing because this morning, a pair of Dark-eyed Juncos (Gray-headed) briefly showed signs of nest-building in my yard. Tragically (for me), my dog inadvertently chased them away while running after a robin. (I need to fence in the brush the birds like.) One of the juncos picked up a long, stringy piece of grass and flew branch to branch looking for a place to place it. Do juncos sometimes begin nesting activities at lower altitudes, before taking the real activity back into the mountains? - Jared Del Rosso Centennial, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
