[cobirds] Smith Park, Boulder

I managed to get in a quick lunch at my favorite mid-day break spot, Smith Park in Boulder. I have been a regular visitor at this spot since 2014 and have now seen 61 species at this overgrown urban lot. Today, things were really active in the cool misty weather. Migrants included two

[cobirds] Re: Blackburnian Warbler at Prospect Ponds (Larimer)

[cobirds] Red-necked Grebe and White-winged Doves, El Paso Cty, 9/13

Thanks to Mark Peterson for the heads up on the Red-necked Grebe at Big Johnson. It was cool and misty, but I did get the ID. I also found the Pacific Loon, but not the Common Loon. A couple of Black Terns were flying around as I left. When I returned home, we had 24 White-winged Doves on our
