[cobirds] Re: Where are the Jay’s?
I live in Breckenridge and I saw a Stellars in one of my trees today. I've seen a few on video throughout the winter on my deck. What are you putting out for them? They love peanuts in the shell. I haven't seen a lot but I have seen them.

[cobirds] Re: Lights Out Colorado and Migration Alert
Perhaps a dumb question, but if it's totally dark, what is to stop the birds from flying into the buildings or houses they can't see? Wouldn't dimming the lights help?

[cobirds] Re: Birding hotspots
I've never had much luck around Heeney though it seems like it would be a great spot. At around mile marker 4 on Heeney Road, there's an eagles nest (Bald) on the right side in a cottonwood tree. They will likely be gone in August though I did hear from a friend that there were eaglets in the nest a week ago. There are also platforms with Ospreys nesting. You should also see hummingbirds and Mountain Bluebirds. Someone more experienced than me in Summit County might be familiar with good birding locales.

[cobirds] Re: CPW Commission requires a valid hunting or fishing license to access all State Wildlife Areas (Response from CPW)
Could you just clarify something for me. How much would it cost an over 65 individual to bird on state lands? I don't mind paying something to the state to maintain the wildlife areas, I just can't figure out how much that's not too excessive.
