My yard is almost empty of birds. The few House Sparrows have been missing for several days. Only a few House Finches now and then. If my neighbor wasn't seeing birds along the farm road out back I would really be worried. There was aerial spraying of the corn field out back about three days ago. This is very unusual for my yard. I live at the intersection of 392 and WCR 35 north of Greeley. Added note I stopped feeding for about a week due to flocks of black birds. Feeders are full again.

My son who lives in Greeley near Bonnell on 8th Ave and 22d st. had three pygmy nuthatches for about 5 minutes today feeding on a leafy branch. Do Pygmy Nuthatches come out this far from the mountains usually? Norma Erickson -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] From my window this week Wesd Co.
This does not compare to the CFO convention, but I have had some of the most colorful birds the past 2 weeks that I can remember for my yard. Even the winds of yesterday and today did not turn them all away. Male and Female Bullocks Oriole at the feeders and in the peonie bush continuously. Black-headed Grosbeak Male in the dandilion patch, eating seeds. 7 colorful male Goldfinches flashing their colors at the feeders Females too continuously. The flock of Pine Siskins at the feeders and water with their sqeeky call and acrobatic feeding habits. Lazuli Bunting. male and female, here for a week. Just spending time near the window where I can admire them. Black and White Warbler comes in secretly to the water along with the McGillivray's Warbler. Last weeks' distant memory of the Black-throated Gray Warbler and the Chat. Swainson's Thrush and Catbirds skulk around in the bushes. Gone but not forgotten are the Yellow, Yellow-rumped, Orange-crowned and Blue-grey Gnatchatchers. The Red-breasted Nuthatch showed up today again along with a Plumbeous Vireo. Black-capped Chickadee still showing at the water and feeding very quietly. Find it hard to leave my window to attend to my daily life.

[cobirds] Cooper's HawkWeld county north of Greeley
Coming home tonight at 5:30 PM I was surprised to have a Cooper's Hawk sitting in my Choke Cherry tree. The bird was very calm and undisturbed by my car. Probably hungry. I drove very slowly into the drive-way to withing 30 feet from it. Juvenile, brown color, with reddish streaks on breast and belly. It was quite big. What a bird when he stretched and fanned his wing and tail feathers. Have had a Sharp-shined off and on for several weeks but it is much smaller.
