[cobirds] Red-breasted Nuthatch

2017-08-24 Thread DAVID A LEATHERMAN

I am located just south of Cherry Creek State Park. I have had RBNU's visiting my yard all year. Two have been especially regular visitors this summer. On July 2, I had an adult feeding 2 fledglings. I am assuming that they nested nearby, because their visits were so frequent. According to my

This morning I was forwarded nice photos of a Crested Caracara reported from the Highline Canal near Wildlife Way, outside the south border of Chatfield State Park. This is a tad north and east of the pond where the Trumpeter Swan spent a few months this past winter. The bird was last seen a

I get them in Highlands Ranch every year around mid-August. I used to think this was early, but it’s happened every year. This year, they showed up last week. Right now there is one picking around the pine outside my window. Greg Pasquariello Highlands Ranch CO > On Thursday, August 24,

Folks, The bird was seen again this morning by several birders (incl me) but hasn't been very cooperative overall. A number of us are still at the Willow Creek parking lot, but the kettle activity seems to be diminishing at the moment. Eric DeFonso Westminster CO Sent from the Aether --

Yesterday afternoon I birded the Dadd Gulch Trail along the Poudre River in Larimer County with Leslie Starr. Apart from a flock of 10+ Audubon's Warblers that had a Yellow Warbler, female American Redstart and a Townsend's Warbler along for the ride, we counted at least 9 RBNU. A nice total
