[cobirds] Baird's Sparrow Larimer Cnty

[Gregg Goodrich]

Ann Troth and I used Nick Komar's excellent directions and found one
Baird's Sparrow singing at Soapstone. The eBird checklist below has some
distant digiscoped photos. I also got some good audio recording of his song
which I will place in the checklist soon.

[cobirds] 4 Hummingbirds - Boulder Cty (Bee question)

[Sue Riffe]

COBirders,

As Davis reported yesterday, I too had 4 species of hummingbirds. The first
Rufous was seen June 30, the same date as Tina Jones. The first Calliope
was on July 6. Yesterday, finally, a Black-chinned made a brief appearance.

We have has lots of bees coming to the feeders. Does anyone know what can
be done to discourage them but still have hummingbirds?

[Nick Komar]

A singing Warbling Vireo moved through my neighborhood this morning (Fort 
Collins, Larimer County) another reminder that bird populations are constantly 
in flux, even in mid-July.
