hey old squaw!

Good to see someone from CO...The best state i've ever been to! (out of four) I spent 4 weeks in Westminster and that was my best vacation ever. Especially the Rockies and the beautiful nature around it. Now, after two and a half year, i still have plans to go back...

Hope to find some good sightings here, eventhough my cousin there tells me great things too :)
My main goal then was to see a bald eagle in which i failed. After that my cousin kept going with sending me sightings...that is like so annoying!

Have a good time here!
 
Van it is excellent to see you here now.. I am so anxious for you to put some of your digiscoped shots in the gallery. You know I told you about Andy Bright right?
Wait a minute you won a photo contest didn't you? I know I know you are most likely being humble but again congratulations.
Now show us your birds Van!!!
 
Van: Welcome to our little community. I live in Texas, you know, the place whose inhabitants invade your state summer and winter? I had quite an adventure myself in southern Colorado last July. I was at the Comanche Nat'l Grassland, and got caught in a flash flood in Carrizo Canyon. Not a good situation. I made a break for the highway, a mere 25 miles away, and the gravel road was washed out five times. I barely made it out in my Jeep.

It was quite an adventure. I had been camping and had to stuff my tent, which contained my sleeping bag and pad, into the back of the Jeep in a torrential downpour, then brave the onslaught all the way back to the highway. I collapsed in hotel in Springfield that night when all was said and done. I had run into a county sheriff's officer that evening, before this happened, and asked him about the weather. "It'll be fine," he said non-portentously.

Live and learn, I guess. Welcome to Bird Forum
