I have been impressed by the number of Clark's Nutcrackers I have been seeing in my neighborhood this past week in Cedar Heights, a development just west of Manitou Springs, El Paso County, elevation about 6500 feet. I saw 20 to 30 CLNU on a half hour walk just this morning. I have not seen this bird here for the past 10 years. I can't help but think that the Waldo Canyon burn scar, which is just over the ridge from us, has something to do with it. It also looks like we have a good crop of Pinyon cones this year.
