[cobirds] Indigo Bunting pictures, Boulder County
Last Friday, June 8th, I was birding in South Mesa and had my camera with me. I was able to get a few pictures of the Indigo Buntings near the Dunn House. It looks like there are two males, one all blue and the other one with brown in the wings.

[cobirds] Need help to ID bird photographed in Boulder, CO on August 3, 20ll
I have been trying unsuccessfully to ID this bird, posted on the Picasa weblink below. It was taken from the bridge across S. Boulder Creek, at the S. Mesa trailhead. I had forgotten my binoculars, but I had my digital camera. I got two quick pictures before it flew off. I did not hear its' song, nor did I see any notable behavior. It looks like an immature warbler to me. I have been trying to compare it to several species, but I haven't had much luck. I have an idea that it could be a Nashville Warbler because of the distinctive eye-ring, white belly, and bright undertail coverts, but I have no experience with that species. I'd appreciate any ideas as to its' identity. https://picasaweb.google.com/110132472076599017043/UnidentifiedBird3Aug2011?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCJaTvIzRpZi6Rg&feat=directlink Pat Hoadley Boulder, Colorado -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Spotted Towhee, Boulder County, CO
Saw a male Spotted Towhee on the Towhee trail in south Boulder on Tuesday, March 15th at 3 P.M. It's the first one I've seen this spring. He was in a treetop, singing loudly. I also saw a mature Bald Eagle flying overhead while hiking the Homestead trail. The flight feathers were missing in the same area on both wings. It was very distinctive. Perhaps they were tags. I took pictures of both birds which I have not posted. It is too far away to tell if they are tags. These trails are in the city of Boulder, starting at the S. Mesa trailhead.
