Our BlackForest count tallied 45 species, 2,202 individual birds. We had moreobservers than any other count since Dick Beidleman started it in the 1960’s(or 1950’s). As a result, we put more parties in the field than ever before (10)– but with a lousy cone crop, we

I also meant to post that about 3:45 I had two Chihuahuan Ravens fly by my house. This is not an uncommon occurrence. Last month I have seen them about this time, always heading east into Longmont. The Common Ravens and the American Crows always seem to be flying west. -- Todd Deininger
