So I would post this to COBIRD's list.

You're very kind...<BR/><BR/><BR/>Fran,<BR/><BR/>What I've found out is that the bird has been seen from north to south in CO (including near you and me), but it is not so common and those in the know seem to think it's worth reporting as a 'rare bird'...since many in CO have yet to see one.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping buy...I checked out your blogs; you are SERIOUSLY interested in quilting! Neat! Personally, I'm more about getting my hands in the dirt; but see we have gardening in common, too! Even neater...

But it doesn't happen with Mozilla's Foxfire. Go figure! LOL<BR/><BR/>I think the bird has been sighted in Huerfano County for awhile now,<BR/>but not often enough to be 'common'.

Click on birding locations and it brings up a map of Colorado counties. Click on Huerfano county and it will download a Word document that lists all the birds. Gary Weston (I think) told me that the website has the most up to date listing of sightings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598189770868382234.post-21808046162120053162008-12-17T15:45:00.000-07:002008-12-17T15:45:00.000-07:00Debbie,Sometimes the links you include are not com...Debbie,<BR/><BR/>Sometimes the links you include are not complete; plus they crash my browser. Could you tell me where you found the list, please? <BR/><BR/>If you only get 'part' of the URL, you'll see the '~' symbol...and that won't work for me. Perhaps if you just told me the name of the site on which you found it?<BR/><BR/>All the lists I've found on Co-birds and the CFO show it's been sited here (and it has...in Walsenburg), but don't mention it's here year 'round.<BR/><BR/>Thanks; you're the first Colorado reply I've gotten in about six hours!

Now, I DO know they're here, as one of the links off CFO shows Walsenburg (where I work; about 20 miles from my home) as a possible place in Colorado to see them.<BR/><BR/>That, plus the fact that they're on the RareBirdAlert list...I thought they might be worth mentioning. <BR/><BR/>[sigh] Yeah, I'm still learning!Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334121900896195207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598189770868382234.post-6899197979724208732008-12-17T11:14:00.000-07:002008-12-17T11:14:00.000-07:00Congratulations on your new life-bird and yard bir...Congratulations on your new life-bird and yard bird. Hopefully, folks for whom this bird is common or even a nuisance will indulge your celebration.<BR/><BR/>I first saw them in south-central Texas, but now they are not uncommon in the Albuquerque area. For some reason they are less common this year compared to last, however.Bosque Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001863270259847102noreply@blogger.com
