[cobirds] Big Green Year update, Larimer County

Greetings -

A brief update on my low key Big Green Year project, where I am trying to see as many species as possible from my home in NW Fort Collins, by foot or bicycle.  The low key part is that I am not "chasing" birds reported by others, but rather am going out birding on my own to as many places as I can get to and recording my observations. 

In the past few days I have taken several bike rides to Dixon Reservoir (Pine Ridge Open Space).  Species of possible interest that I have seen there include white-winged dove, blue grosbeak, black-chinned hummingbird, MacGillivray's warbler, green-tailed towhee, eastern kingbird, plumbeous vireo, and Lazuli bunting.  My year total is now at 150.

Tomorrow I plan to bike up Rist Canyon and see if I can add some foothills birds.  (And see how far I can bike up the canyon!)
