Hi folks --
If anyone makes regular trips to the Denver Museum NS and would be willing to ferry a frozen little corpse to the staff there, I'd appreciate it. (The C.U. Museum is closed for the summer). I don't drive to Denver any more. I have a beautiful little Swainson's Thrush (frozen) to "donate." It's seems to be always the mountain birds that make the fatal mistake of seeing only the blue sky in a glass window, despite our strings of beads and bird profiles as warnings.
On a happier note, after 22 years we finally have a bluebird in the yard; it's an Eastern, not a Mountain. It keeps checking out one of the old swallow nestboxes but this afternoon is singing up the hill as though no female has yet appeared. It seems very late. Possible early nest failure, or deceased mate?? Or 2nd brood?
