At the end of last summer, I had to make a business trip to Denver, Colorado. The post Chronic Exposure in Colorado first appeared on 10,000 Birds. My sincere apologies.

Instead, they are summer visitors, moving up to Colorado in the warm months to breed before returning to wintering grounds in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and Mexico.

For example, recently, I wrote a blog post about a Long-tailed Jaeger that showed up on the Front Range of Colorado.
