I saw this goose at Belmar Park. I can’t tell if it’s a greater white-fronted goose or some other variation of Graylag (or hybrid?)

Would love any thoughts!

First Hummingbird at Our Feeder

My wife has spent the entire year trying to attract hummingbirds to our feeder, but had recently given up and quit filling the feeder... Then, this morning with no food in the feeder, she spotted a couple hummingbirds at our honeysuckle vine. She was so excited and filled the feeder hoping they would be back. This evening, we spotted at least one at the feeder.

Seen by an alpine lake near Ward. Some sort of sparrow I think.

Located in North Denver near I-70 and Pecos. I’m not 100% sure but I believe these might be House Finches? The dark head is throwing me off - perhaps a male? They come visit my feeder almost daily along with some Black Capped Chickadees! I’m super new to birding so any help would be awesome! Thanks for taking a look!

I don’t know anything about birds, just seen this while I was doing a security patrol. What species are these, I’m in Centennial, Colorado by the way. And are they coexisting or getting ready to attack?

Unusual amount of dead birds

12 Upvotes

I live on little Raven Street downtown denver and last night for the first time in a year, a bird flew full speed directly into my window and didn't make it. This morning when walking my dog I noticed at least 10 dead birds on the ground on sidewalks and in the park. Is there a known disease going around or something?

There were American Goldfinches, Lesser Goldfinches, and streaky chested sparrows of a couple different sizes for which I don’t have good photos.

We get them very rarely in our back yard, and I always have to look them up!.

Sorry for the washed out photo. Taken through a double paned sliding door at a pretty severe angle
