I've had cedar waxwings in my yard for the past couple of years. I generally see them in the spring/early summer and assume they have a nest in a big spruce. Just noticed them this morning for this season. I think I've seen them a few times in the winter but can't recall. So I looked at the bar

A new month starts today — delighted to see that so many more birders joined the ebird “Yard Lists” last month (go to explore and bottom center in case you haven’t found it.). As Hugh and Urling have always said, the best way to become a better birder is to take a small area and learn it really

Also at Walden this morning: 3 pelicans. I missed the male great-tailed grackle but saw a female actually in the marsh next to the boardwalk. At Sawhill Ponds: one green-tailed towhee in a shrub not far from the parking lot; and a pair of wood ducks in a tree on the west side of the refuge.

By way of a nearby yard report, I'm entertaining four visitors in my Centennial (Arapahoe Co.) yard today: Lincoln's Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow (occasionally singing), Orange-crowned Warbler, and Yellow-rumped Warbler (Audubon's, also occasionally singing). Oddly enough, all four have
