Thanks to Scott's lead I saw the Black Phoebe at 1 pm. It was focused around the small fenced area past the second shed. It seemed like it might be paired with the Eastern Phoebe, which I saw carrying food to a likely nest site within that smaller fenced area. Also had a male "Lazigo" bunting j

All, I headed out this morning on a wild phoebe chase to see if I could refind a Black Phoebe at Waterton Canyon, Jefferson Co. that was posted by someone on the Colorado Bird Photography Facebook page the other day. After some serious wandering around trying to find the spot in the photos, I foun

I was up there Sunday too and did not find it to be "slow," but perhaps that's because I wasn't expecting to see any birds at all. I was pleased with the very cooperative Williamson's Sapsuckers (2+ pairs); family of Mountain Bluebirds; White-breasted, Red-breasted, and Pygmy Nuthatches in the

Took the family up to see the 200,000 Mexican Freetailed Bats at the Orient Mine near Villa Grove last week. Was surprised to find 2 Long-eared Owls frolicking in the entrance to the cave as evening approached. The bats put on a wondrous display as they headed out into the vast Valley. During th
