[cobirds] Canyon Wren

Birders, is it possible that I just saw a Canyon Wren in Littleton, CO??? It was unmistakably a wren and it definitely had a white neck. It was flitting around on the ground in typical wren fashion making a rather sharp annoying chirping. 

Thanks for any insight!

[cobirds] Rosy-Finches on Weld Rd. 128-Private Property

COBirders,

I previously posted about both locations for the Rosy-Finches on Weld Road 128 being on private property. 

The Rosy-Finches at the bluff on 128 are on private property owned by the Lazy D Grazing Association and are difficult to see unless you use a scope from the road which is the only access that is permitted. Road 128 is now being patrolled by law enforcement due to trespassing at the bluff site so I will ask everyone again to please stay off this private property. 

The finches are much easier to see and enjoy at the abandoned homestead on 128 (which is also private property.) The abandoned homestead where the finches are congregating is west of the intersection of 128 & 37. It is NOT the home at the intersection which is occupied. The best bet for seeing the finches is to stay in your vehicle on Rd. 128. Do not park in the driveway of the abandoned homestead as this is where the finches are coming to feed. They are very flighty and the smallest movement makes them fly off. 

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Hello Fellow Birders,

 

Up until a week or so ago I had a flock of about 2 dozen American Goldfinches eating me out of house and home every day, at my little townhome yard near Holly & Arapahoe.  Now, they have suddenly evaporated.  Even during the light snow we had earlier this week there were only 3 or 4 at the feeders, and only briefly.  Everybody else is still showing up for the picnic: House Finches, Red- & White-breasted Nuthatches, Bushtits, etc., etc.  Any ideas, facts or theories are welcome.  Thanks!

 

Keep Smilin',

[cobirds] Melody of first 2021 Meadowlark

Yesterday (Sunday) while walking the perimeter of my yard one mile west of Severance,  I heard the sweet melody and then saw the first meadowlark of 2021.  What a welcome sound and appearance!

Also, it's not usual to have robins in our yard all winter long, but it is unusual to have a robin in the feeder.  We have a robin(s) picking out raisins from the mix.  Seeing their craving for fruit, I have been dicing up over ripe grapes and bruised apples.which they are eating.  They won't touch mealy worms which the juncos, chickadees, jays eat readily.  I have observed in years past, that the robins aren't yet in the Spring eating mode of filling their crops with the worms.   No need for a Groundhog--the robins in our yard let us know when it is Spring.
