Still slow, but getting a little more interesting! Caught our FOS Yellow
Warbler; I think this is the first time ever that we've caught one in
Aprilour usual first date is May 5. Also caught (and released unbanded
as we don't do hummers) 2 hummingbirds - 1 Broad-tailed and 1
On 4/29, we saw 3 killdeer chicks feeding with their parents off Hygiene
Road where people park to look north at the Bald Eagle nest (2 adults
present).Killdeer chicks are precocial, so may have been hatched that
morning, but, man, seems early to me. Northern Boulder County, for those
scoring
Wow, what a difference a few days make!
After lamenting the paucity of spotted towhees and other birds in general

these birds, and we think we were able to identify both the hybrid and the
glossy. Here is two pictures (phone through scope) of the bird that is (I
think?) the glossy where you can see a dark face and iris.

COBirders-- A few minutes ago while in my suburban-type back yard I saw a
small sparrow that I couldn't identify. I didn't have my bins and observed
it for about a minute. Very nearby, there was a Pine Siskin that I could

This morning, I had a Wilson's Warbler in my Centennial, CO yard
(Arapahoe). Also, two White-crowned Sparrows, perhaps lingerers from an
earlier flock of six, and a Hermit Thrush. I also heard a House Wren, the
