I keep a neighborhood list rather than yard list.  We’re at 6,000 feet in the Boulder foothills half way between Boulder and Lyons.  My neighborhood includes the 1.7 miles from US 36 to our house.  I always have feeders but way fewer in the summer in recent years since the bears have

Dave’s latest message explained a mystery I had.   I was at the Lyons owl site this morning for the first time in weeks.  There must have been at least twenty owl photographers there.  What puzzled me is why I didn’t recognize a single person.  I’ve been birding in Boulder county for

2021-02-24 Thread DAVID J WALTMAN
I birdied a bit this morning  in  the vicinity of Boulder Creek at 75th.  Best bird was Yellow-rumped Warbler. Was hoping for Cinnamon Teal reported yesterday, but no luck.  The real treat was seeing a mink with a trout, apparently just caught since it was alive and moving.  It was

Larry and others have done a great job of paying tribute to Joe, so I can’t add a lot.  My experience was that he was so funny and fun to be around.  So many of us benefited from his sharing of birding knowledge and humor including many who never met him but read his comments on

I’ve been helping a male Broad-tailed Hummingbird get through this cold snowy day.  I first saw him at a feeder at 6:40 this morning and last saw him at 7:40 this evening.  I’ve been swapping warm feeders from inside for freezing feeders outside.  I’m sorry there will be quite a bit of below
