Bluebird migration, as visible from my home on the west side of Superior, was a little different than usual this year. Normally I'll see small flocks of Mountain Bluebirds passing by intermittently over a period of several weeks. This year, I only saw them for three days (around March 23-26) but there were at least a hundred each day, sometimes in flocks of 40-50.
There have been some good-sized flocks (30+) in other areas of S. Boulder County since then, but not near my house. Overall, I'd say the total number I've seen this year is higher than usual.
