Hi all, Just in case anyone is still in need of a Sabine's Gull, I saw what I would expect to be the same bird again today, Sunday, September 28th. I had great views of it in flight, while standing at the handicapped accessible fishing site (Carolyn Armstrong) in Cherry Creek S.P., Arapahoe

Hi all, I went up to Conifer with my, alas, non-birding family today (Dec. 26th). It wasn't very birdy at high elevations, with a raven Mountain Chickadee being the only species I saw, and a few more usual suspects (crows, magpies, a Red-tailed Hawk and Steller's Jay) lower down. On
