Leucistic Eagle

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Leucistic Golden Eagle found down here in SoCo a couple weeks ago. Did you guys hear about it? I posted the story on my blog...with quotes, links and photos from the papers...as well as an update a day or so later. It's a beautiful, but very sick young bird which may make a compl… Continue

Books on Birds; What's Your Fav?

I am a reader; I like to research, I enjoy reference books…especially on topics close to my heart. I don’t believe one can have too many books on a subject…but then I am book rich and money poor. LOL Okay, so I’m on a limited budget…I have a couple books on birds and know I want to enlarge my library. I think another ‘general’ field guide to birds I’m apt to see might be a good idea. While I’m interested in all birds…I doubt I’m going to be heading to exotic countries where I might have trouble… Continue

Summer is here!

First of all, I'd like to invite anybody who can make it down to La Veta (~3 hrs south of Denver) on June 14th for our AVAS Bird Walk. You can read details here. The folks with AVAS are great...as are most birders, huh? I've never met a nicer bunch of people! A couple of us who feed birds will open up our yards to be included on the hike...yours truly included. It should be fun! I can say that, havi… Continue

Birds in the natural world

As I grow in my birding, and learn how to watch them...I am more and more interested in photographing them in the natural world and not at my feeders. Still, I have neither the equipment nor the knowledge really, in where to find them...to do much else. Yet. I discuss this and other issues in my blog. The folks who can catch an image in a bush or on a beach just astound me. Good birding!!!

What a day for a birdwalk

My new friends Stirling and Lyn picked me up just before our scheduled meeting at 6:30 a.m. and caught me filling up bird feeders. I hurried out the door; we got as far as the end of my block when we realized I’d forgotten my Sibley’s…they graciously insisted we turn around so I could retrieve the field guide and we were off on our adventure. Two of us had never been ‘birding’ before, so we were quite excited. We were to meet up with the AVAS group and their 4th Saturday Birdwalk at the Greenwa… Continue

He wasn't aggressive, but one more complaint and he's history. Hope this doesn't happen. We never put our garbage out overnight, but these critters are smart and I wouldn't be the least surprised if the one I commented on below didn't make Friday mornings his regular stop. We do our best to scar them off without making complaints.

Just posted this comment to another birder...
Yesterday's bear (Fri)must have known we put our garbage out on Friday morning's. It ambled down from the woods making a beeline for the cans in our cul de sac. He pulled one over and decided he didn't smell anything he liked. He then pulled over a second, gently lifted the lid and started scrounging around. I walked as close to him as I dared trying to shoo him away. He pulled one sack of garbage out ot the can and moved up a hillside about 20 yards away from me, sat down and began his feast. 15 minutes or so later he ambled back into the woods. He was a young guy (or gal) about 2-3 years old.

Since then I have been busy with clean-up from our camping trip, re-entry into the workforce, and processing of the few pictures and videos I was able to take while on vacation (our weather was less than ideal, but we had a wonderful time nonetheless.)

I haven't had much time to reacquaint myself with our Colorado Birding community, but the pictures you have added are super! I wish I could join you on the 14th, but I am scheduled to work. Are these outings scheduled in advance? If you know the July or August dates I can try to schedule work around them. - Judy

Glad you looked it up. Great photos and web search. Saw mine at Monteverde park, Costa Rica 2004.
