[cobirds] Redpoll - Golden - Jeffco

[Ira Sanders]

Birders
The Redpoll was here when I put out the feeders at 7:30 after chasing the
elk up into the open space.
I don't find it amusing that birders are NOT chasing off the elk when they
are going after the feeders or are in my yard.

to reply while I am away but, if not, I will reply to your email when I return. 
 Thank you.

[cobirds] stearns lake, boulder(?) county

['j.d. birchmeier' via Colorado Birds]

In addition to the ducks/gulls/geese that you would expect, there was a 
harbinger - a Western Meadowlark singing lustily from a fence post.   A couple 
of red-winged blackbirds were singing, but their hearts weren't in it, although 
one female red wing was taking an interestI also got to see a mature bald 
eagle cruise over and dive on a target in the weeds.   Failing to reappear, 
probably got some lunch.

[cobirds] Greater White-fronted Goose, Thornton (Adams Co.)

[Adam Vesely]

There is currently a Greater White-fronted Goose at Sage Creek Park in 
Thornton, near the southeast corner of 128th Avenue and Holly St.  Among 
several Canadian Geese, there is also a Graylag Goose in the same field, 
which offers a nice size comparison to the Greater White-fronted Goose.
