[cobirds] Common Redpoll, Larimer

Had a single bird come to my feeders yesterday afternoon.  Also, a sharp-shinned hawk chased one of the white-winged juncos into the window, then nabbed it and ate it.  my 9-yr old got to watch the whole thing. 

other birds: lots of pine siskins (~25), Am. goldfinches (~8), both mountain and black-capped chickadees, Steller's Jay, and juncos (WWJU's are especially common this year), but Cassin's finches and evening grosbeaks have become scarce. with only a single sighting of each in the last 3 weeks.

Good birding,
