If you were really lucky at, say, Pueblo Reservoir, you might be able to see
six grebe species. Which would be 20 Hat Tricks in one shot! (I think that's
right for "six choose three" but my last math class was a long time ago...)
Three loons or three doves would be reasonable to expect there too.

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
thatsomeone could see the Black, Eastern, and Say’s Phoebes all from the
samespot. There are several other Hat Trickspossible, 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 possiblethat would be
inconceivable in most parts of the country. I’m sure there are many additional
with varyingdegrees of complexity. -Curt Brown
