I just observed a modest number of Sandhill Cranes (8) from my office window soaring over central Boulder as the cloud layer succumbs to partly sunny skies. --Scott Scott E. Severs Longmont, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

[cobirds] Slow morning at Prospect Park (Wheat Ridge, Jefferson County)

2013-10-12 Thread Nancy Rynes
The crack of dawn at Prospect Park turned out to be a little too early in the day. Cloudy, cold, and damp with a slight breeze made birding a little slow. Things picked up once the sun came out around 9:30 AM, but still nothing too unusual for the day. The highlight for me was some rather

[cobirds] Williams Canyon, Eagles - El Paso

2013-10-12 Thread Lee Farese

2013-10-12 Thread Josh Bruening
Hey all! To piggy-back on Eric's post...I was at Grandview from 130-5pm this afternoon. The Cape May was present this afternoon. I was there with a few birders I had not met before (Joel, Dale, and Fawn). Joel and Fawn took photos of a bird that looked decent for the Cape May but I had

It was brought to my attention that I may have sounded a bit crass about my reservations. After reading my own post i could see how that could be read into. I wanted to be clear that the reservations I had were in regards to the photos, not the fellow birders! Thanks, Josh Bruening Fort
