Cobirders,
Today I took a pre-Thanksgiving Dinner walk through my aunts neighborhood
south of Green Mountain and saw a Common Redpoll loosely associating
(coincidentally?) with a small group of Red-breasted Nuthatches and
Mountain Chickadees in planted pines lining the road.
The White-eyed Vireo continues haunting the juniper row and singing
frequently along the entrance road to the Wray Fish Hatchery, Yuma county.
Also a migrant Hermit Thrush and Eastern Bluebirds singing.

One time on the road between Aspen and the Maroon Bells a male Dusky Grouse
ran towards my car on the road, jumped on the hood and stared at us through
the windshield. I opened the door to get a photo and he hopped off of the
hood, onto the ground and next thing I knew he was up on my leg
I had a quick look along CR 48 south of Lower Latham Res on the Bebee draw area

avocets and stilts were present.

Made a late morning visit to Prospect Park today and saw the previously
reported Northern Parula feeding high in a cottonwood about 200 meters down
the main trail (west of the bridge) from the parking lot. The bird was
trying-out some a little bit of singing which made him easier to track down
Here in Golden on this snowy morning I've heard and seen several flocks of
mainly Mountain Bluebirds flying overhead.
One massive flock of 150+ birds, which alighted in the trees across from my
yard, was mixed Mountain/Western (70/30).
The huge flock departed south, downhill, towards downtown
I just had what appeared to be a (young?) female Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
at Norman D Memorial Park in Golden (Jefferson County).
It was actively feeding around the playground area on either side of the

was not once seen

Hello all,
Today I had a singing male Rose-breasted Grosbeak along the Beaver Brook Trail

I made a quick stop at Veterans Park in Brighton (just west of Hwy 85 on
