CDOT and the MBTA brochure

[Chuck Aid]

Here’s a copy of CDOT’s brochure on being in compliance with the MBTA.

What is the beautiful swallow on the second page of the CDOT Migratory Bird Act brochure? Without really looking, I assumed it was a Barn Swallow, but obviously not with that white throat. White-throated Swallow? If so, a southern African species making a rare appearance in a Colorado publication!

Hi Everyone,

 

It certainly looks like a White-throated Swallow. The blue chest band and unstreaked throat separate it from Australian Tree Martin. At least they picked a migratory species. This one breeds in South Africa and winters in Angola. I still have a utility bill insert from the city of Longmont bearing a lovely photo of an anhinga.

 

Regards,

I also notice their GHOW picture shows an owl with tufts down, staring at the photographer - indicating a disturbed and pissed-off owl that should have been left alone.
