It flew north from the Austrian Pines (look like ponderosa) into the large group of white firs in the back. Larry Modesitt Greenwood Village Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 28, 2017, at 10:15 AM, Scott Manwaring wrote: > > Sapsucker is still here in its regular tree near

Re: [cobirds] Pinyon Jays in uncommon places?

I had a flock of 6 Pinyon Jays flying east from Empire last week. But a Blue Jay and a Woodhouse’s Scrub Jay in Empire Sunday, and a Scrub Jay at my feeder near Standley Lake in Arvada on 9/24. These definitely are unusual sightings. Larry Modesitt, Arvada > On Oct 6, 2020, at 11:15 AM,

Re: [cobirds] Barr Lake Sunday
