I am not sure what was bigger than ginormous or I would have used it. Maybe giga-ginormous? While looking unsuccessfully for Eastern Bluebirds at a favored site in Morgan County today, Feb 12, I found myself driving NW on Highway 144, which is northwest of Log Lane Village, which is just west of

COBirders, In what was likely my final attempt for Hoary Redpoll up in Ft. Collins, I came up all Commons, with one maybe that I'll seek an outside opinion on. Oh well. On the bright side, there were a few notable sightings in the area including a fly-over flock of 70ish Bohemian Waxwings. There
