Heck, maybe you'll get some new members!

I’d love to send you the cropped photo (where the bird fills the whole frame)…or I’d be happy to post the pic, and give you kudos. I’d hate to have people miss such a colorful bird!!!

Thanks for adding me as a friend. I have often viewed your blogs on COBIRDS. You may not some of our recent posts including Yellow-throated Vireo, Black-throated Gray, Parula, and N Waterthrush at the Alamosa Cemetery. We also had a Dunlin on S River Road.

I try to keep a close watch on Lowell Ponds SWA, and Rocky Mountain Lake and Berkeley parks in Denver. If you've seen my last post on cobrders, I left off my ideas on the perching bird. It may be a Macgillivray's Walber or a Yellow-breasted Chat. Which would be more likely?

At 12:30pm on June 6, 2008, Beverly said…: Gary, a quick note to tell you how much I like the addition of the bird-quiz thingie you added! WHAT FUN!!!

Hey, the way I look at it, the more pictures I see of birds...and can identify...the better birder I'll be when I really DO see them!

Thanks for all your work...this is GREAT!

At 2:43pm on June 6, 2008, Beverly said…: LOL I'm addicted to it, too. What a great tool!
I'm actually recognizing birds I didn't know before.

I don't know how it is you got it to work ON your site...I just created a link to the webpage on my blog. Course, I also have a link to this one:

I double-dare you to show THAT one to your wife! :)
I love it...

So far I've seen osprey, horned owl, gambel's quail, american coot (my guess), american wigeon (again, my guess), a few different heron, I heard there are egret there, hawks (not sure what kind), eagles (haven't seen one yet, but they are known to be along the river), mallards, canadian geese, and the like. :0) I've also seen a bald eagle (my first), a belted kingfisher (my guess), and a steller's jay (my guess). I'm still pretty new at identifying them. As you can tell by "my guess". lol. I'm hoping to learn more here. You guys seem so knowledgeable. And thanks for the welcome.

At 9:03pm on June 29, 2008, Elysia Schumacher said…: I'll do that. I do have a dinky kodak 5.0 mega pixel camera that I'll be taking pics on...so hopefully I'll get some good ones! :0) thanks!

At 9:46pm on July 12, 2008, Beverly said…: Gary, what a great set of photos you just posted! I especially like the Grebe with reflection and the White Pelicans in synchronization; they have an almost Zen quality, huh? I also liked the low-swimming Grebe behind the pelicans; that's wild how they do that. Thanks!

At 7:01am on July 17, 2008, Beverly said…: Beautiful shots on the four little owls! I like the detail; I don't generally manage to get my photos so well focused! I've not seen these birds before...and appreciate that I can SEE them here. ...but, why is it we can't comment on your photo-page like we can the others? Too much chit-chat? LOL heh heh heh ...vee vill find a way!

At 3:57pm on August 4, 2008, Beverly said…: Gary...is that a new logo you've got here? It's way cool. Did you create it? I'm curious...what is the windmill-looking object on the left? I'm betting the owl is of the burrowing sort! [grins]

At 9:21pm on August 8, 2008, Beverly said…: Have I lost my mind? I cannot figure out HOW to 'respond' to an event. I plan, along with some other folks from La Veta, to go to the Wet Mountain Field Trip...but I can't remember HOW to say so! Can you help?
