Seeing an Eastern Phoebe this morning (Boulder Creek at 75th St.) got me thinking about Trifectas or Hat Tricks. It is getting more likely each year that someone could see the Black, Eastern, and Say’s Phoebes all from the same spot. There are several other Hat Tricks possible, at varying levels of difficulty. I’m sure many of us have seen three Jay species together. Swallows (several possible combinations). Nuthatches (red, white, pygmy)? Bluebirds (east, west, mountain)? Rosy-finches? Wrens (house, rock, canyon)? Longspurs???
We live in an area that makes several Trifectas possible that would be inconceivable in most parts of the country. I’m sure there are many additional with varying degrees of complexity. -Curt Brown -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
