Hey, all. 1. The "Lower Ward," Boulder County, feeding station was perhaps the best I've ever seen it, this cloudy Sat. morning, Leap Day, Feb. 29. *Hepburn's, black, brown-capped,* and *gray-crowned rosy-finches;* type 2 *red crossbills;* THE MOTHER OF ALL *PINE GROSBEAK* FLOCKS; *evening grosbeaks; Cassiar, Ridgway's, white-winged, slate-colored, Oregon, gray-headed,* and *pink-sided juncos;* and even a *golden eagle* and an early *prairie falcon.* Keep in mind, please, that you're looking at birds on people's private property and that you're birding along a surprisingly busy and treacherously icy road. A little courtesy and common sense go a long way; ignorance and stupidity, unfortunately, go even further (in the opposite direction). eBird checklist here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S65285944.

2. Free bird walk tomorrow afternoon, *Sun., Mar. 1,* at Waneka Lake and Greenlee Preserve, Lafayette, eastern Boulder County. We'll convene at the *Greenlee Preserve observation deck at 1pm.* Weather should be nice. Expect to see cinnamon teal, American bushtit, Homey and Comey, and perhaps a bald eagle. Cacophonous red-winged blackbirds guaranteed. All are welcome; no previous experience necessary; children and families welcome. Bring your phones; bring binocs & cameras if you have 'em. See you tomorrow! Ted Floyd Lafayette, Boulder County -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
