After being off Tuesday and Wednesday due to the storm, we headed out later
in the morning today, not sure whether we'd be able to open or not. The
weather was not too bad (winter coats but our bare hands were not
freezing), a little sun and no wind. A good number of birds moving around
over
As I haven't left the house in about a week, I have avoided observing the
carnage of the birds on the roads. We have however been rotating 8
different hummer feeders since Tuesday morning for the dozen or so hummers
that have been sticking around our yard this week. We had as many as 7 on
one
Urling & I walked the Walker Trail this morning (Cherry Creek trail, south
from Walker Road). It had zillions of birds; we tallied 31 species that
included
32 Mourning Doves 25 magpies 43 Western Bluebirds 44 House Finches
25 meadowlarks.
Also a family of Cedar Waxwings, 8

they seemed to all have disappeared so we timed it just right!
Tons of Mountain BBs, a few Western BBs. Robins all over!

Fascinating behavior. This reminded me of a scenario I watched many years ago
while working on Colorado Breeding Bird Atlas II. I was just finishing
surveying the yard and buildings of a farmstead near Yuma when I heard a
cacophony of calls from a large elm. When I looked for the source of the
The other day I was enjoying watching a mixed flock of birds, hoping for a
warbler or 2 to pop up when I noticed that there was a Bushtit hanging by
its tail -- caught on some sort of twig, it was totally helpless, flapping
a little, head pointed to the ground. The interesting thing was that one
Yesterday I was feeling somewhat disgruntled because Jared (who lives just
a couple miles from me) was seeing all sorts of things that I wasn't. He
said he had his FOY White-crowned. Well, I looked up from reading his
report and there was a sparrow in the yard with those distinctive brown
