birds moving through central Boulder County

[Linda Andes-Georges]

I'm a bit belated with these tidbits, but we had our first (yard) WC Sparrows and flocks of robins on the 6th, about a week after the T. Solitaires arrived. Like others of you, I missed hearing these last year, and am happy to hear their winter territory song returning.

Thanks for the uplifiting news about Sandhill Crane flights; I'll make sure to be outside today for the next wave.

Personal landscape: Now known as Boulder County (CO). We nest in shortgrass prairie whose caretakers for centuries were the Núu-ci (Ute) Peoples, and many indigenous peoples who lived, traversed and hunted here; more recently the Inono’ei (Arapaho) and Tsistsistas (Cheyenne), all later subject to the colonial Treaty of Fort Laramie of 1851, oft-violated by my own people.
