[cobirds] Nice variety of birds in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain Nat. Park

We're off to a nice start on our visit to Colorado. Since putting up the feeders on Saturday at our place in Estes Park in Larimer County and watching from the deck, we've been visited by Calliope, Rufous, and Broad-tailed Hummingbirds, Evening Grosbeak, Cooper's Hawk, and Townsend's, Orange-crowned and Yellow-rumped (Audubon's) Warblers as well as the usual three species of nuthatch, House and Cassin's Finches, American Crows, Common Ravens, Steller's Jay, Hairy Woodpecker, Northern Flicker (Red-shafted), Chipping Sparrow, Dark-eyed (Gray-headed) Junco, and circling Turkey Vultures.

On the first stretch of the Cub Lake Trail in RMNP in the Saturday evening dusk, we had a nice Rock Wren, a lifer for my wife.
