Hello, Birders. First off, you know what I think about Greater Scaup identification...  ;) That said, yesterday, Monday, Jan. 30th, I saw near downtown Boulder a bird that looked good for Greater Scaup. This bird was on one of the little ponds at the southwest corner of the colossal

Birders, The deep snows of December have melted, and temperatures have moderated in the lower Arkansas River Valley. The first northbound birds have begun to arrive. On January 29th, I saw a flock of 20 Sandhill Cranes in Prowers County. Because they only rested briefly in the agricultural

Hi, I would appreciate input anyone might have whether this is a Northern Goshawk or another accipter, like a Sharp-shinned or Cooper's Hawk. I took this photo right outside my house 2 days ago. It was hard to estimate the bird's size. Gary Koehn Cedar Heights El Paso County

Hi Joe and cobirders, Sorry for the lack of details in the earlier post. Your interpretation was correct. The roadrunner was above the road about halfway up the hill to the top of the ridge on the rocky side, not the grassy slope below the road. We saw the bird for about 15 minutes before we

Roadrunner (Yes!) Monday 3:00 - 3:30 +/- and (Yes!) Tuesday 2:20 -2:35 (see Mary Keithler's post) at Dinosaur Ridge. This headline makes it sound easy to see the Roadrunner. As many watchers and waiters can attest, however, it can take several trips to the locale and a few hours there to see the

Hi folks.  A male Varied Thrush is being seen very infrequently at the Durango Fish Hatchery.  The two best areas to try for it are: 1) the grassy area behind the DOW office where a Varied Thrush showed up five years ago 2) Walk through the entrance gate and along the fish raceways until you
