[cobirds] Prairie Falcon west of Berthoud

I was surprised to see a Prairie Falcon posing quite nicely for me on a pole along a dirt road I frequently run which is on the east side of Dry Creek Res. The road is maybe private, it is unclear, but no one seems to mind people walking/running/skiing on it. You could park at the corner of Co

[cobirds] Woodcock, Yes - Larimer

A herd of what the ranger estimated as 300 elk came through the creek area the previous night, trampling things. The Ranger was on the road and walked with me, curious if it was still around, and he spotted it quickly, across from the house where the stream was closest to the road. -- You

[cobirds] Denver-Waxwings

Surprised to see a group of 40-50 Cedar Waxwings in a tree by my local branch library today. They were not feeding, but just socializing. On the handful of occasions when I have seen Waxwings, they seem thus, just chatting. Their bright "airbrushed' colors are exotically
