[cobirds] Swainson's Hawk, Jefferson Co

Saw my FOS Swainson's hawk this afternoon, 3:10 p.m, while going north on Kipling, just north of Ridge Rd. Took me three good looks to ID him, as he was repeatedly stooping out of the sky to harass a slow-moving red tail. It's now officially spring in my book! ~Anne Price Littleton, JeffCo --

[cobirds] Northern Cardinal

I just heard a Northern Cardinal singing in the vicinity of Melody Park (16th and Kingwood) in north Boulder. It may be the same bird that has been reported in several areas on this side of town over the past several years, although there were no reports from 2017, as far as I read or heard.
