Bob,
What are these? I shouldn't be so lazy and should look them up, but whatever they are, we don't have them where I come from.
aka: I give up.

We could pretend that the one on the left is a glossy ibis :)
Why not?

Hard to tell from that photo but I'm thinking Hermit Warbler. See the black on the neck and back of head? I got a good photo of one yesterday and will post later.
Bob, where was that Ibis pic from, your usual haunts?

Dee ee, you're really trying to get me to sell my equipment, aren't you? ;-)
John Hansen, I'm not convinced those were Least Sandpipers. The white balance
of the picture is questionable to me. But if you saw them as "yellow to
greenish to yellowish brown" (Kauffman) then they probably are. To further
quote Kauffman:
"The toes lack webbing at the base, and they can look surprisingly long for
the size of the bird; it is worthwhile to study the foot structure so as
to have a basis for comparison with other species."
Once, near Seattle, I was convinced I had found and photographed a Long-toed
Stint which, of course, would have been fairly earth-shaking. With the
help of an ornithologist friend at the U of Washington we decided it was
a Bigfooted Least. ;-)

Dee ee...Walden Ponds near Boulder. Maybe one of the best spots in the Boulder area for birding.
Also...great shots.
Leaving for Colombia tonight...should be a great birding trip.
Spending about five days in this area.

John Hansen, on the hummers...
Seems unlikely to be a Blue-throated, JT is not in their range AFAIK. On that first one, I'd think probably Costa's, possibly Black-chinned. We see a a fair amount of both around my place.

Dee, are those photos taken with the SX50? I have a friend who is thinking of buying one. They look really nice.
Here are some shots from earlier this month.
Mountain Bluebird with Horse
Rough Legged Hawk
Sandhill Crane couple
Eagles wars
One of the interesting parts of birdwatching in Glacier NP. My first griz of the year. I wish it had come out into the light.
