Hello, Birders. I recently received in the mail the latest issue (vol. 47, no. 4) of Colorado Birds. This is a noteworthy issue in several regards, foremost among which is that it is the first under the kindly and skilled editorship of PETER BURKE. More on that in a moment, but, first--and I'm

I just looked out in the backyard and saw the dove perched in walnut tree. It first showed up in the yard in late March and the last time I heard or saw it was during the first day of the September rains. -- Todd Deininger Longmont, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed

I have a couple pictures of the Bay-breasted Warbler on Smugmug. You can barely see some insects it might have been feeding on. Brucecyg.Smugmug.com in the Record Shots gallery. I'm not sure if any of those insects can be identified though. Bruce Cyganowski Kittredge -- You received this
