Hi Cobirders October means Eight Month . I know it is the tenth month. Do not blame me, blame the Roman Senate (2000 years ago) honored the two Caesers Julius and Augustus creating months in the summer each with an extra day taken from February thus July and August. I started feeding here

These may very well be the Chatfield birds as they were not re-findable shortly after my post to Cobirds. There is still at least one Red-necked Grebe at Chatfield. Glenn Walbek Castle Rock, CO http://www.pbase.com/gwalbek/image/153239836 -- You received this message because you are

Hi Cobirders -- The Black Scoter continues at City Park, sleeping placidly this afternoon on Ferril Lake. As far as I know, the Surf Scoter has not been seen for several days. Lots of new arrivals around, including Western Grebe, two Horned Grebe, two male Hooded Mergansers and hundreds of

Reporting on birds you DON'T see is a lot harder than talking about the ones you do see. Douglas County: Castlewood Canyon State Park seems almost devoid of small birds -- we've hiked several trails on the west side, several times in the last 3 weeks and seen almost none to no chickadees,
