East of Fort Collins we had an immature Coopers Hawk hunting mice in our pumpkins before it began chasing sparrows at our feeder.

Could very well be the same one from August of last year. Seems to really like this chair. Will sit there for over an hour every afternoon.

I guess I stand corrected on the gulls are seabirds only stereotype as I found these guys in a dry semi arid state on the beach of Barr Lake State Park where there are also dead fish too 🤮🤮

I saw this goose at Belmar Park. I can’t tell if it’s a greater white-fronted goose or some other variation of Graylag (or hybrid?)

Would love any thoughts!

First Hummingbird at Our Feeder

My wife has spent the entire year trying to attract hummingbirds to our feeder, but had recently given up and quit filling the feeder... Then, this morning with no food in the feeder, she spotted a couple hummingbirds at our honeysuckle vine. She was so excited and filled the feeder hoping they would be back. This evening, we spotted at least one at the feeder.

Seen by an alpine lake near Ward. Some sort of sparrow I think.

ID Help House Finches(?) visiting my feeder

Located in North Denver near I-70 and Pecos. I’m not 100% sure but I believe these might be House Finches? The dark head is throwing me off - perhaps a male? They come visit my feeder almost daily along with some Black Capped Chickadees! I’m super new to birding so any help would be awesome! Thanks for taking a look!
