[cobirds] Two Buttes WA & Chico Basin Ranch - 6&7 April

Hi All, I just recently concluded my first trip through SE Colorado, and experienced some of my first birding west of the Mississippi River. I must say, the landscape and its inhabitants were far more impressive than I had anticipated. Anyways, personal highlights from Two Buttes included a

[cobirds] fresh off interstate 70 - Littleton transplant

Hi All, I recently moved to the Denver area and was hoping you might be willing to bestow me some of your Colorado birding wisdom! Hailing from the puny state of Massachusetts, I'm overwhelmed by the vast number of counties, elevational gradients, and the different habitat - species nuances.

Re: [cobirds] Re: Prothonotary Warbler Fort Collins

According to e Bird data, the previous early record for a Golden Swamp Warbler* was April 16, 2011. Interestingly 4 birders saw it then in Holly and another person reported a Prothonotary Warbler on that same date, April 16, 2011 from Campo. I suspect that the observations were of one individual

[cobirds] Nesting Hawks

For the 3rd year, a pair of Red-tailed Hawks are nesting across from my home (above my neighbors). Hope they don't report me for snooping, the neighbors that is. Earlier this week, I saw my first Swainson's Hawk over Main Street, Parker. Unfortunately, the tree used by the Swainson's for
