While chasing the pine warbler (yes) and northern parula (no) today at the
beaver pond on the side channel below Chatfield Dam, I couldn't figure out why
so much water was flowing down such a small and a seemingly dry wash in
December. A few minutes on Google Maps tonight explained why.

I have known Joe for about 40 years. We met at the Marston Christmas Count, and
we both kept coming back to Marston for the Christmas count because we both
thought it was absolutely one of the best Denver Counts. Each year, Joe would
ask if he could stop by to see my Morning Doves, now around
I have a very strong suspicion that the ebird reports of Pine Warbler and
Northern Parula in Arapahoe are actually the birds that have been on the
other side and are incorrectly attributed to Arapahoe. I suspect that the
reports were started in Arapahoe and continue into Chatfield SP below the

Hello birders,
As the day was so beautiful and calm, Paul and I decided to walk around Martin
Lake at Lathrop State Park. It was dead quiet all around the lake. No sparrows,
chickadees, bushtits, flickers, robins, solitaires, scrub-jays, nuthatches,
woodpeckers...it was weird.
We did have
A Northern Parula was found along the 88th Ave and South Platte Trail just
past the railroad bridge right at 78th Ave. Foraging alone in the trees
along the water's edge. Photos wil be posted in checklist.

A pine squirrel was visiting birdfeeders here in Superior (elev 5400) a
month or two ago. That was really unusual. Not sure if it's still
around. The person who saw it concluded that there may have been a

Hmm. I haven't seen any that I thought were out of place, but I do find
them regularly as long as I can remember in the 6000-something foot range
in Colorado Springs in certain places - generally foothill-type terrain or

Pardon this peripheral bird topic, but I was wondering if any other birders
along the front range have noticed pine squirrels encroaching on lower
elevations.
I am at about 6,000 feet in Douglas County, and we have had one or two
present in our backyard for more than a month. I mention this

I received several responses to my post about the odd Mallard with a mix of
female and male characteristics. All but one suggest this emergence of male
field marks can happen to very old females. Eric DeFonso astutely sent the
