[cobirds] Arapahoe County Yard Bird - probable White-throated Sparrow

2012-10-19 Thread Becky Campbell
Cobirders, I noticed a sparrow yesterday in my backyard but thought it was a song sparrow and did not really check it out. Rethought that decision today as it was scratching around under the thistle feeder with regularity. Got out my scope to check lores more closely. Looks like a tan stripe WT

After being absent, or at least inconspicuous, for at least a week, the evening grosbeaks (~20) returned to my house in the Horsetooth Lake Estates neighborhood this morning.  They were eating Russian olives. A few Cassin's finches have been showing up in the past couple weeks as well. Cheers,

Hi all, Had a Steller's Jay (Interior West type with white marks) on the ground with White-crowned Sparrows and Juncos eating mixed seed beside my house today at midday. An Eurasian-collared Dove dove in and chased him off after a good while of good looks.  This is only the second time I've had

Hi cobirders. A flock of about 8 Bushtits fluttered about the Chokecherry and into the caged Sunflower feeder nearby. I have seen them do this before. Several would go around the bottom apparently finding many minute insects. They come usually before the House Sparrows invade. I do not r

A white-winged dove was sitting briefly on the power line above the end of 34th Court (off Nebo Rd), N Boulder Co, at 10 am this morning. Nice addition to our house list. It may still be in the neighborhood, but I haven't been able to relocate it. If it reappears, I'll post it again. Alan Bell,
