Hi, all.
Still dealing with broken cars. (Thanks, Jeff Gordon, for posting earlier on my behalf.)
Meanwhile, I just now on this raw Friday afternoon, October 4th, jaunted over to the Blue-headed Vireo spot at the southwest corner of Greenlee Preserve, Boulder County. The vireo was gone[*], but a Rose-breasted Grosbeak was a nice consolation. Orange-crowned Warblers galore, and a Wilson's hanging on. And cold Barn Swallows looking for bugs. Oh, and a Yellow-shafted Flicker.

[*]I've gotta stop thinking and saying that. It wasn't necessarily gone. Rather, I couldn't find it. Or maybe it was dead. Anyhow, it's funny how often we say "The bird has left," when two quite plausible alternatives are "I couldn't find it" or "It died."
