Hi all
Huge thanks are due to Liz Bokram for years of work for the Roaring Fork Audubon, a volunteer position that she just retired from! THANKS LIZ
Thanks are also due because after her surprise thank-you lunch and presentation in Carbondale yesterday, most of us were able to go to Carbondale Nature Park and see the five RUSTY BLACKBIRDS that were rediscovered on Thursday 27th by John Anderson (thks John), the birds having not been seen since December. PLUS: They were a LIFE BIRD for Liz yesterday - HURRAH. Seems that they are now commuting from the trees by the 'warm' stream at the Northeast corner of the park, into ranchland further NE, towards the Roaring Fork. In December they were favouring the stream on the NW side of the park.
In town, the RED-NAPED SAPSUCKER continues, still frequenting the tree at the west end of Centennial Park on Friday also. BUT.. Still no further sign of the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker photographed in that tree around Christmas
Also, still no further sign of the 8 Cackling Geese again around Carbondale – seems they may have been a one-day wonder on 3rd Feb, brought in by the snowstorm that day
Good birding all, and on behalf of Roaring Fork Audubon, hearty thanks again to LIZ.
Best regards
Dick Filby
Carbondale, Garfield County
