RE: [cobirds] Bluebird ientification

Thank you all for your identification of this bird as an Eastern bluebird. But this is not any E. bluebird! It is Yard Bird #100 for my location. I was hoping to make it to 100 species here before we moved to Longmont in August. We're now moved, I have 100 species in just under 5 years here, and I've enjoyed the house near Storm Mountain in Larimer Cty as one of the best places I've lived to spot birds. Now I'll see what pops up at our new home near Lake McIntosh in Longmont! I've already seen a duck! Happy Birding to us all – Dave Hyde/Longmont, CO

Dave, 

 

Orange throat = Eastern bluebird. Rare but regular breeders in Larimer county foothills.

Hello CObirders,

                The attached photos show a bluebird (3 photos) and a typical Western bluebird at my location near Storm Mountain in Larimer Cty. on June 3, 2021. Can anyone advise me as to identification: Western or Eastern bluebird?

                Pleasant birding to you all – Dave Hyde/nr Storm Mtn. Larimer Cty. CO
