Hello from Colorado (1 Viewer)

So I saw a Western Tanager a few weeks ago and that triggered a hopeless avalanche of bird-interest.

I live in the foothills of the Rockies on several acres overlooking a deep canyon. So we get regular raptor flybys (Golden eagles, red tail hawks, etc) and a fair assortment of other interesting birds. We get a lot of long views out here, so I decided that it was time for some really decent binoculars. It turns out that good binoculars triggered an even greater interest in birds... and even better binoculars. So at this point I think I’m pretty well down the rabbit hole…

Glad to be here!

David

Hi David and a warm welcome from me too.

That's a lovely picture you've got of your Bald Eagles lad ... maybe we'll be able to see some of your pictures in the Gallery too.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I hope to hear about all the birds you see when out and about.
