Yesterday I reported a Nashville Warbler near Children's Hospital in Aurora.
A second birder found a a female MacGillivray’s Warbler in the same area
later that day and emailed me. I can see my errors in reporting a Nashville
Warbler when looking at photos of the female MacGillivray’s.

shore of Sixmile Reservoir, which is just south of Boulder Reservoir.
Sixmile is private, but can be scoped from the south end of Boulder Res.
The bird was mostly walking on the shore among the Ring-billed and

Nuthatch joined me for a drink of precious water. Wow. Bonnie

Hi all,
I counted birds today for the Pueblo County Fall Bird Count.
The highlight for me, was a Philadelphia Vireo, west of the Valco Ponds parking
lot. Photos taken. Pueblo City Park was very good today too, with Northern
Parulas (2), Tennessee Warbler, Summer Tanager (2), Broad-winged
It has been an exciting week of banding at Ridgway State Park, and I'm

Please visit the Black Canyon Audubon Society Facebook page to see photos

Hello, fellow birders.
The inclement weather brought hordes of birds to our yard Wednesday--and among
them was a house finch with avian pox. It broke our hearts to look
Not unexpectedly yesterday, Mary Burger and I did not find Glenn's and
Loch's cold front good birds at Chatfield and Cherry Creek. We were one
day too late! But we did find a Solitary Sandpiper at the little wetland on
the NE corner of Cherry Creek. Amazingly when I entered the list into

Frenchman's Creek was good. On the west side right by the parking area there
was a big active flock of

Greetings All,
Jackson Reservoir was a stunning experience today, yielding 101 species and
nearly 20,000 indviduals. The shorebird list was 17, headed by 2 AMERICAN
GOLDEN-PLOVERS not far from the outflow channel. Among the 4000 or so
Franklin's Gulls (nearly all adults), I was able to detect
16 matches
