COBIRDERS,
There has been a good deal written on COBIRDS about Red-breasted
Nuthatches in the Metro area this year. There is interest, fascination, and
maybe some surprise at their presence? I have them practically daily at my
house this time of year.

COBIRDERS,

and Teller County. We traveled from Hwy. 67 above Sedalia, south on the
Rampart Range Road, to Woodland Park.
We were south of Devil’s Head, looking off the top of the ridge to the
west, when a mal

A friend from Cape May wants to see Himalayan Snowcocks in the Ruby Mountains

COBIRDERS,
This afternoon I found a Green Heron in a small pond just outside of
Bailey in Park County. The bird was fishing in a shallow pond from at least

A week or so ago I was watching the Bald Eagle's nest at East 120th

However, there were also at least a half dozen House Sparrows on and around
the eagle’s nest the whole time I was watching. I a
