Dave Cameron's post got me thinking: "Granted, this is the first spring I've been home every day, and the yard has been good for birds all along, but this year is so crazy, I have to pinch myself." I agree! This spring is the best I can remember along the populated Front Range for unusual songbirds, and I'm wondering: Is there something different about this year's migration, or do we just have more people with more quarantine time looking closer to home? In prior years, I loved driving to hotspots like Lamar Community College, Two Buttes, Tamarack Ranch, and Crow Valley, but now I'm thrilled to be within biking distance of Tucker Gulch in Golden, Harriman Lake in Littleton, and First Creek in Denver. Is there something different about this migration's weather that put more eastern species in our yards, or does covid mean we are giving the once-over twice to places we usually overlook?
