[Douglbirds] Sightings

[David E. Rapley]

We regularly see coyotes here. We also have a doe and her offspring. She’s
kept them close between our house and our neighbors ( ¼ mile away ) ever
since spring.

We live on the N rim of Castlewood Canyon SP  and for several years after
we moved in here, we had 60 to 70 crows that flew over from NW to SE every
morning at sunrise and back again at sunset. This was repeated by about the
same number of Magpies  about 20 mins later.

We still see the crows but a few years ago we noticed that the Magpies were
absent. We have begun to see a few at our feeder but nothing like the
numbers we used to see. 

Any ideas where the crows go so regularly  and what happened to the Magpies?

We just had a big red fox with white tipped tail trot down our road right by
the garage. My husband had seen him/her earlier in the week. We also saw a
large coyote running down the neighbor's road earlier in the week in broad
daylight. We have seen prints in the snow very close to the house that look
like coyote as well. We have had lots of pygmy nuthatches on our suet as
well as Steller's Jays and a couple of bluejays, and all of the types of
woodpeckers. We also have birds, I'm not sure what it is, on our thistle
feeders. It is olive head and back with black and white wing bars. Can
anyone help us with these?
