They are competitive for food sources and nest sites and often found
together in similar habitat. I don’t believe anyone has discovered
anything other than that between the two species (like some sort of
symbiotic relationship).

Yep, sorry for the alarm - they are decoys. Left the house to go up in the
mountains w/o bins - driving my wife’s car (she doesn’t keep any in her car).
When we got to the park, it’s a little cloudy and I think I’m seeing swans!
They are fooling park visitors as well, as there was a guy on a

Birders should avoid running into Dove Hunters as they tend to carry loaded
firearms. . . .
Eurasian-collared doves can be taken anytime without a license - they are

The overnight snowfall has brought 2 Common Redpolls out into the open at
the feeders along with an impressive flock of American Goldfinches.

If you were to take down your feeders today, would the birds that have been
coming to them starve? Probably not. Why? Birds on average, spend only
20% of their foraging time in any one location. There are feeding
hierarchies among individual or family groups of birds and I suspect there

Hello COBIRDERS,
I have a small flock of (8 or so) Common Redpolls regulary visiting my
feeders in Wheat Ridge. This may be a shorter trip than going to Larimer
County, so birders may come by and park in front of the driveway (but not
in it please) and observe the birds from there. Best
frequency means you can buy cheaper radios (the
split-frequency capable radios are usually a few bucks higher).
In all my experience using FRS radios while birding, I have never
encountered other birders on the channel 11 -22. Maybe they can't find it?

If you discover where the wasps are nesting, they are most vunerable after
dark and in the early morning hours. They roost overnight and need to warm
up before their intense daily activities begin. The best time to spray a
