[cobirds] Signs of Spring continued

Thanks, Mary Kay, for your signs of spring. On Wednesday at our home east of Boulder 2 meadowlarks were perched together, one singing, and magpies were breaking twigs off our black locus and carrying them into the blue spruce. Also, two cottontails sit a few feet apart, staring fixedly at each

[cobirds] Birding Magazine

Cobirders, I have an almost complete set of Birding Magazine from August 1990 thru July 2012 (missing only December 1995 - assuming that date was published) that I am giving away. Many of these were edited by Colorado's own Ted Floyd and have articles relating to Colorado's species. These

Hi All, The CU Birding Club took a trip out to the eastern plains to see what we could find, and it turned out to be a pretty fantastic day. We started out the morning with lekking (!!) Greater Prairie-chickens. 12 birds were observed at the corner of county road Q and 50 in Washington County.
