[cobirds] New year birds - Douglas

This morning we added two new year birds for our patch.
Two Vesper Sparrows perched on a fence along our road, looking quite crisp.
Then we saw a Loggerhead Shrike, perched on a phone wire near the Vespers. We flushed it and it
flew across the road and perched on a fence line where we could see all the details.

We have had a Broad-tailed Humm. at our feeder for about a week (after Karen Metz
had one on the other side of Franktown). It stays only briefly. Also our first
White-crowned Sparrow of the spring, a Gambel's version.

Only a couple of juncos remain and we haven't recorded a Solitaire in a week or so.
