The snipes are courting in the Coughlin Meadows area in Roosevelt National Forest, 8.5 miles up Sugarloaf Road from Boulder Canyon, 2500 m altitude (i.e montane). They are still most active after dark but I expect to be able to watch them soon. Saw-whet owls are calling between midnight and

Enjoyed watching and listening to two American bitterns at Sawhill/Walden, between 7:15 and 7:50 this morning. The song always reminds me of an old-fashioned hand pump or perhaps broken plumbing. I've been hearing it occasionally in the area since May 5, but today was the first time I saw the

Have been out of town a few days, but this morning I had a male black-chinned hummer coming to my feeders, not a ‘regular’ yard bird for me at all at my home near Horsetooth Mountain Park. Also back, Orioles and BH Grosbeaks in my yard, among the numerous lazuli buntings and other already
