Ben, et al,
Cody Porter's neighbors were nothing but welcoming and friendly during the 2 days I was in Laramie looking for the bird. I am unaware of any conflict between the birders, quite a few of whom were local, and any of the neighbors. One neighbor invited me into his yard and made me feel very welcome. I believe the officer was there enforcing some parking permit requirement as this neighborhood is just up the street from U of W and apparently the parking can be tight. I didn't have any problems parking as I was just north of Cody's yard/area on a part of the street where there weren't any parking restrictions.

I went up to Laramie today to try for the Red-flanked Bluetail around 1 pm. No luck. While driving through the spot it was reported, I saw a couple of birders. Asked them if they had any luck, they hadn't. I went to look for a good parking spot. No luck on that. I am driving back through and I see police talking to some people. Now I don't know this for sure, but I assumed one of the neighbors was suspicious of all the people with binos and cameras and called the police. Not wanting to be part of whatever was going on, and since the bird was nowhere to be seen, I decided to accept my loss and head back toward Colorado. I stopped at Turtle Rock on my way back to Colorado. Most notable birds were eight Clark's Nutcrackers and a Golden crowned Kinglet. As for the Red-flanked Bluetail, I think it was a one day wonder. Apparently the Farralone Islands, California, had one on November 3rd. Probably not the same bird. This may be wishful thinking, but maybe we should keep an eye out for one here in Colorado for the next couple weeks!
