Very unusual at any time of year was a Brown Thrasher feeding on berries near
the water treatment plant in Alamosa (Alamosa County). We got about 14 inches
of snow in the San Luis Valley over the weekend and the storm had migrating
birds looking for food.

Among the 6 Juncos at Fawn Brook Inn Sunday were two that appeared to be of the
White-winged race. Does anyone know if they were likely that race or what
Sibley describes as the rare Slate-colored with white wing bars. We were
unable to compare body or bill size with the others as they kept
So we know the Centennial Park Prothonotary Warbler's version of cranberries

Hi Cobirders
I found a single American Dipper in Clear Creek at Lowell Blvd. (Adams Co)
today at 11:48 a.m. It was directly below the bridge and then flew
downstream below the check dam. I've found Dippers here in the winter for
about six years. Look for them here and downstream to the I-76
Hi Robert,
They could certainly be of either race. Both occur here, and currently I
have a few of both races at my feeders daily here in Teller County at
8,500'.

Added Delta 12/21 and Cortez 12/26.

Today, in Denver County I saw one, Lesser Black-backed Gull, from the fence,
[which borders Marston Reservoir on the west side]. The water has dropped some
in Marston. If you look from the west fence, next to the road, you will see a
sand spit[this spit has been under water for about 6 weeks].
