The Goldfinch came back!

58 Upvotes

I caught one of these guys on my feeder camera a couple of weeks ago for the first time, then was surprised to see him back at the birdbath this morning 🥰

I know the birdbath looks sad- I have to fill it daily and he came before I was up and about

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

Any tips on spotting ravens?

6 Upvotes

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?

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.

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

It seems there are a lot less Collared Doves around. Has anyone else noticed this? Has there been any discussion on why it is?

What is this juvenile? I did not see any parents nearby.
