What is the State Bird of Colorado?

FEBRUARY 23, 2016
Colorado is unique in many respects, so it comes as no surprise that its residents went in a different direction when selecting their state bird. Instead, they are summer visitors, moving up to Colorado in the warm months to breed before returning to wintering grounds in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and Mexico.

My good friend and owl expert, Scott Rashid, had educated me two years ago about their Colorado habitat preferences. They are known to breed in a number of different habitats across their large range where multiple species are considered, but Colorado holds some definite keys.

There's a stray dog problem in San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico. There are about 70,000 stray dogs roaming San Luis Rio Colorado in northern Mexico. The solution? If you bring in the dog for euthanization, you get a tax exemption.hooray! Sarcasm there of course. Clearly, there's no spay/neuter program in this place. But there are animal rights activists in Mexico that will hopefully take notice and try to establish some kind of long-term and humane solution. From Latino Fox News.

Best Bird of the Weekend (First of August 2016)

AUGUST 7, 2016
Basically, he’s too busy birding from Colorado to Idaho to write about birding! Doing a thing and writing about doing a thing differ in so many significant ways that even mentioning the dichotomy seems superfluous. Yet, in realms such as birding, the acts rarely overlap; if you are birding, you’re probably not writing about it, and vice versa. This brief moment of rumination is meant to explain why we don’t have the best bird of Corey’s weekend.

Corey and his family are absorbing as much of the American West as they can fit in as they drive from Colorado to the West Coast. Crazy at it seems, we’re already entering that part of the current season where we obsess over the next. In the United States, that means that kids (and teachers) are freaking out about the first day of school, even if that date is still nearly a month away. On the other hand, birders are getting psyched for fall migration.

In our opinion, this is a wonderful idea, and we wanted to help them spread the word.

From the ancient Greeks to my ex-boyfriend, people are prone to investing them with both love and meaning. I don’t know. They’re predators, yeah, but so are the most commonplace of hawks. They’re hard to see, but so are rails, and hardly anyone gives a crap about rails.

The states which have essentially banned leghold traps are Florida, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, California, and Washington. This is the kind of insanity that goes on with leghold traps. A few years ago my friend Astrid called me on the phone. She had taken her border collie for a walk in the woods in the local 1200-acre state park, and her dog had stepped on a leghold trap. Astrid’s dog howled as she pried it off.

He was on the ground, and the finder thought he might have been hit by a car. He was not a fledgling, but not an adult. His eyes were in the process of changing from yellow to brown, and his tail was not yet red. Although his wing drooped, I couldn’t feel anything broken. He was thin, but not emaciated.
