Woke up to 6 inches of snow at my place, and a Bullock's Oriole who was undoubtedly dismayed to find the hummingbird feeders buried in wet, dense snow. Cassin's Finches returned with the snow as well. Cheers, Arvind Panjabi Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory 5700' feet, Larimer County, CO

14. Mtn Bluebirds are inspecting nest boxes and singing from my roof daily, and a Red-naped Sapsucker stopped in briefly early last week. Until a few days ago, Cassin's Finches and Mountain Chickadee were regular, but they seem to have moved on now. Cheers, Arvind Panjabi Rocky Mountain Bird

like a flock of starlings.  A little scary when they would come in to my water feature. Haven't seen an oriole in over a week.  kingbirds are also gone.  as are most of the migrant breeders for that matter. Arvind Panjabi 5700' feet, Larimer County, CO On the north slope of Milner Mtn Mountain

influs of spotted towhees. This morning I had 5 more Cassin's Finches at my feeders (after not having any for at least a week), and a pair of Violet-green Swallows. Enjoying the migration phenomenon,  Arvind Panjabi 5700' feet, Larimer County, CO On the north slope of Milner Mtn Mountain mahogany

Not much happening up here in the wind and snow, other than a troop of 13 Cassin's finches that has been dominating the feeders today.  Spotted Towhee also seen again today.  Oddest thing of all is I've only seen 1 junco today - a pink-sided.   cheers, Arvind Panjabi 5700' feet, Larimer County

and change the water every month or two (doesn't appear to need it more frequently), but of course it only take a minute to foul the water. Is there a way to purify the water in the pond?  Iodine?  Any advice would be appreciated.
