Thank you for doing that, John. All of us should consider leaving our birding areas and trails cleaner than when we entered them. A good rule of thumb is to carry a trash bag with your birding gear. You can even make a non-disposable trash bag by attaching straps to an empty bag of bird
Well with today being Earthday, I gathered up some our local birders and 15
of us collected trash and litter over the many segments of trail. It was
cloudy and ominously threatening rain, but we got it done and still had a
bit of time for birding.
There is a pickup truck full of trash that
Today 4/22 one COMMON BLACK HAWK was found on M-50 just west of a small town

This morning we added two new year birds for our patch.Two Vesper Sparrows
perched on a fence along our road, looking quite crisp.
Then we saw a Loggerhead Shrike, perched on a phone wire near the Vespers. We
flushed it and itflew across the road and perched on a fence line where we

To add to this discussion, a Yellow-throated and Cassin's Vireo were
amongst a mixed flock of YRWA gleaning in low trees and shrubs along the
Poudre River at Watson Fish Hatchery in Larimer County this morning. It
does seem like whatever is on the menu, nearby water sources are a common

Has anyone noticed any conflicts with Red Headed Woodpeckers

The fact that you saw 'Juveniles" is most encouraging. I will check these

Diana, Thank You so much for that information regarding Red Headed
Woodpecker sightings
here in Colorado. Chico Basin I have heard of. Tamarack SWA I am not
familiar with. I will find
them though as soon as Winter leaves. Hopefully this summer I can see/hear
a RHW.
Thanks again, I moved to
David,
Ok, thanks. I have been on Ebird numerous times. However, I am fairly new
to Colorado
moving here in 2016. I had to go to Books a Million and purchase 4 new bird
books. Still
trying to find my way around these parts, but am improving. Exploring is
such fun.

Robin, Ok, that sounds good to me. AS it warms up, hopefully in May thru
Sept. I plan to visit
all the places that this group's members have been so kind to advise me
where I can see our
most beautiful Woodpecker. Thank you so much, Daniel

Just to add to this wonderful discussion, I ventured down to the creek on
Thursday late morning and found the Northern Parula feeding with a pair of
Audubon's Yellow-rumpeds high in a leafless tree. I stuck around hoping to

Woodpeckers, both mature and immature, that had used the old dying cottonwoods
in the north side of the lake.

Cobirds, I love this group. Joined 3 days ago and wish it had been sooner.
in 1977 as soon as I graduated college I was
hired by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on one of their major Migratory
Bird National Wildlife Refuges. I was hired as
the first Public Use Specialist and over saw Audubon's
The ranger's are very grumpy at Roxborough. I got a serious talking to
while looking at the Tundra Swan last December. I did see the Scissor tail
yesterday but was very careful not to sit too long on the road and was
constantly looking over my shoulder. I'm sure they will be out in full
force
