Cranes Leaving Daily

[cou...@gojade.org]

Cranes have been spiraling upward and leaving the Valley by the hundreds in the last 2 weeks. It is amazing how fleeting the bird seasons are. Seems they just got here, and they leave me wanting more....

 

Western Bluebirds and Williamson’s sapsuckers are back in the hills. Nice to hear the rat a tat tat drumming they do.

Lisa Rawinski saw a Barrow’s Goldeneye while doing surveys at Blanca Wetlands last week. (Blanca is closed for the nesting season).

 

Finally a question....what is the status of Mute Swan in Colorado? Any info would be appreciated.
