COBirders-- This morning (10/4/20) I was standing on my cabin deck in the
Sangre De Cristo range (9,200 ft.) and was elated when a Canada Jay lit on
one of my fenceposts. Unfortunately, it continued to go from post to post
downhill until it disappeared with no photo taken. It is the second Canada
Dear Cobirders,
Last week I had several flycatchers visit my yard and managed to get photos of
four of them. Any thoughts/opinions on ID, notes on details of markings, etc.
would be very much appreciated! Trying to hone my ID and observation skills.
Cobirders,
Just welcomed a Blue Jay to feeders and birdbath at my Empire cabin 294 E

Hi Van,
Your mystery bird actually sounds just exactly like a Rock Wren to me. The
bobbing behavior is very distinctive for them.
And they're on the move now; I had two in my backyard yesterday and one this
morning. (It's pretty common to have them here during migration; they seem to

Hi all,
Had a great day at RMA with a Lesser Yellowlegs & a Sage Thrasher being
added to my 2020 list. https://ebird.org/checklist/S74362841
