Today's Sightings

Id love to say those three were bonding, but that hummingbird and its charm tried to chase out those finches every chance it could.

Caught this cutie in my makeshift fountain

Made a little birdbath fountain with a cheapo solar fountain from Amazon. It's very popular in this drought.

Any tips on spotting ravens?

I thought I saw a raven in Denver today and was a little bummed when I pulled over and realized it was a crow.

Nothing against crows but I really want to spot a raven.

Through my research they do seem to exist here in CO, the advice I've found is all 3-4 years old. I apologize if it's still good advice but I wanted to double check.

My research says Vail may have a good chance in the winter. Canyons seem to be a good bet as well, would around the royal gorge near Colorado springs be a possible time to sight them, and if so when is the best time?

Also are there chances for spotting at the Colorado Canyon in Jansen? And if so, what time of year is best?

Saw this cedar waxwing and was lucky enough to watch it eat a chokecherry

Denver Audubon kingery nature center I saw this cedar waxwing eating a chokecherry and I was able to get a sharp look at its head and was lucky enough to see it eat one of the fruits with its beak open

Red-tailed Hawk

There’s a nest near my house. This one was hunting in a neighbor’s yard this morning. It first caught my eye because it was playing with a shiny tin can. West Denver proper.

Who is visiting my feeder?

Decent bit bigger than the house finches that regularly visit and usually comes alone. Colorado Springs Area.

Who is this bulldozer?

Who is the ruffled looking bird who tried to run off my chickadee? I thought he might be a juvenile Jay but that doesn’t jive with my Google searching.

barn swallow nest in my barn!

I'm going to go back tomorrow with my canon & see if I can land better shots, but I was so happy seeing this!!! They've always been around, but this is my first confirmed (and current) nesting site. 🧡
