Thanks to Robb for texting me yesterday when he found this Phoebe. I was able to get up there about an hour later and it was still in the same spot and content to stay there. This is the same spot that a pair of Rusty Blackbirds hung out all winter. I hadn’t seen either of them since the

COBirders, First, thank you to Duane for posting about the birds that were at Tempel Grove.  Unfortunately, I had to be back to town too early and did not give Glenn and I enough time to really enjoy southeast CO.  The one other species that we had at the Grove was a male WILSON'S WARBLER.

Re: [cobirds] Wait, there is more to the story about Latham Reservoir Welcoming Committee/Weld

I am concerned about the local landowners escalating their confrontations with us birders. My concern is that some birder might be perceived as angry at being harassed like that or threatening to them and provoke an unwelcome response, such as having a firearm waved around. Don't want that.

As much as I admire Joe's multiple soft solutions, I doubt they would make much impression on this nutjob. Probably the best solution is to make sure not to park in front of his house, and otherwise just ignore him. Maybe he'll just get tired of the game. Norm Norm Lewis Lakewood, CO

One more comment on birding the Latham Reservoir area. A friend of mine and her husband were birding that area on April 9. She isn’t certain of the exact spot, but it was at a T-intersection with a house straight up the T. As they were birding from their car, they both distinctly heard a gun
