[cobirds] Re: "Attack Grouse" harasses photographer (Jefferson)

Yes as Tom Behnfield also states there was a Dusky Grouse at the Boetcher Nature Center last year with the same aggressive attitude. I had never encounter a bird with so much personality before. The two birders I was with did not find it amusing. I thought it was great. It chased me around my

[cobirds] Re: Humility from birding and No Boulder Worm-eating warbler found

I went over to campus this afternoon to see if I could find this bird as well, since I haven't seen one before. I thought it might be a long shot, since it has been a couple of days, but the weather was so nice it seemed that a bike ride was in order. I walked upstream from the lower

After the interesting warblers I found earlier in the day (read previous posts if you want), thing slowed down for unusual things. I went to Melody Tempel Grove in Bent Co. The best bird there was a Red-headed Woodpecker, no rare migrants that I could find. I checked most Lamar area locations,

[cobirds] Lee Martinez Park, Fort Collins (Larimer) - no tanager but...

I spent about two hours this morning at Lee Martinez and failed to locate the Scarlet Tanager reported Monday and Tuesday. I believe two or three other birders also tried and -- as far as I know -- had no luck. Perhaps this guy has moved on. I hope others will look and maybe find what I

Hi: Good Grief, I should have known better, what I was hearing was a Virginia's Rail. My apologies to anyone who made the trip to Cherry Creek for the Black Rail. Most embarrassing, my face is now beat red, probably turning to a crimson color as type this out. I’m sure the egg on the face
