A young pair of Osprey tried to build a nest in one of the emergency

While on way to work on WCR 100 (aka Nunn Road aka LCR64) between the
county line and .5m east of LCR 3, on both sides of road, were the

Every single morning and some afternoons, ALL year long, this Cardinal
attacks the same window on the first floor of their home. This behavior
is going on 3 years now. The Cardinal injures himself, drawing blood when
doing this. They have tried the black silhouette decals, to no avail.
We have a problem at the cabin with crows/ravens. I think it's ravens
because they are so big. During the winter, we saw that pieces of the
screen from two small east facing windows in the loft were being torn. I

A Black-crowned Night Heron is visiting Tantra Lake in South Boulder today. The
lake is surrounded by apartments -- including mine -- and this night heron is
