Boulder at higher elevations makes sense. In town seems odder. Still very cool. Looked at some online stuff but it combines an area of wildly different elevations. Totally beautiful bird! Hope he comes back!
Reilly asked:
So, Crimpie, when's the Chachalacalooza?
I do want to go to So TX for sure. My schedule is horrible until July, and I'm not sure if that's the best time to do that. Doubt it. I'm in the Houston area the first of August to visit family and always build in some birding fun though again, it's not the best time. I may have to wait until Spring to see the Chachalaca, Brown and Green Jay. I sure want to get out for some dang fun!

Slater- Anytime you want to make the trip to Alaska I will be happy to show you around the Kenai Peninsula. We have a motorhome that doubles as a guest room too. That goes for any of you supertaco birders.

After I typed that 10B, I remembered the wing shape on Hawks/Falcons and realized I was way off. Cool looking birds.

Honestly, being soft or lacking quality is not something I see. I see bird. I love bird! Thanks for sharing! I wonder how many beautiful scenes we all don't get to see because they are soft to the ever-critical eye of the photographer. :) Seriously gorgeous bird.

Frik!!
That is gorgeous Bob! How is it that birds and tropical fish have colors that exist no where else? Simply miraculous.
I may have to invest in a Columbian bird book. My head may explode if so though.

My head has...:-).
Colombia is amazing...not just birding but the people and beauty of the place.
I'll lend you my book when I get back to Boulder...162 hummingbirds, 203 flycatchers and 141 tanagers. Crazy!
