[cobirds] Black Phoebes pairing up in Canon City area

2014-04-04 Thread SeEttaM .
I found Wednesday that a single Black Phoebe that forages near the MacKenzie Ave bridge over the Arkansas River has found a probable mate. Since these two forage in the vegetation that is within about a hundred feet of this bridge, one can get pretty close views--but do be careful as there is a

Hi, Cobirders.   On a whim late this afternoon Jeanne and I decided to see if we could find the Chukar that was reported on south Marksheffel Road. No luck there so we went over to Big Johnson and saw a nice selection of birds on the reservoir.   Then we went below the damn on Goldfield
