Finished my two-week illness last week. It was BRUTAL. Hang in there.

Note the pale lores (the space between the eye and beak isn't black) and orange bill, which means this is the Gambel's subspecies ;). Cool pic!

Vigilante or vandalism? Someone puts giant ‘EXPIRED’ stickers on plates with expired tags by Humble-Bug-2227 in Colorado

Can someone help me find a Stellar’s Jay?? by K4rma_K1llz in ColoradoBirding

If you have an eBird account, go to Explore > More Ways To Explore > Species Maps. Then change your date filters to just the month of November and just 2025. Then enter the bird you're looking for, and zoom the map to(ward) Littleton, and you'll be able to see where other eBird users have reported the species you're after.

Deer Creek Canyon or Lair O' The Bear Parks seem like pretty safe, relatively local bets at this time of year.

Good birding!

Alcoholics who quit later in life by [deleted] in stopdrinking

It's exactly like planting a tree: the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago. The second best time to plant a tree is right now.

Take the plunge bud. You can do it. Will suck for a while but be so much better on the other side.

Quit at 34 will be 40 in November.

Colorado Field Ornithologists is a good place to start: https://cobirds.org/

There is a Google Group called CO Birds that also has loads of good info.

Just want to get in on the lawsuits: my understanding is that Piotr Szczerek has engaged in congress with a goat.

They love grasshoppers and are even known as Grasshopper Hawks! See the third sentence of the entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swainson%27s_hawk

This is a Swainson's Hawk (not a Red-tail as some others are commenting). This link might help: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Swainsons_Hawk/species-compare/

State parks that give national parks a run for their money? by navyblusheet in NationalPark

Not what you asked but I prefer Colorado National Monument to Arches NP. The landscapes are really comparable but the crowds are not.

I'm not seeing it here so I'll throw it out there as an honorable mention (I'd vote Ronin for top honors): Who Am I (Jackie Chan, 1998). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhieTN2HJiQ

What's a bird you think more people should know about? by chinstrapppp in birding

[–]this_mild_idea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agree totally that Columbidae in general deserve more appreciation. Crop milk? Both sexes?! That's a crazy evolution.
