Hey @ericmbudd.com I suspect you get tired of this question but I was wondering when the 2026 voters' guide will be available? I got into an argument with a couple of neighbors about Prop 82. The misinformation is scary. Anyway, I suspect it is still too early for your guide.

for those people wondering why Colorado has so many right-wing measures on the 2026 ballot — it's because they can no longer win candidate elections in Colorado and a number of these measures are toxic. do your research! I'll be posting my voter guide early October

You may not know it, but here in Colorado and elsewhere in the SW U.S. we are in a terrible drought and heat wave. No snow last winter. No rain this summer. Out on the bike trail everything is dead. No birds. Nothing living. It's horrible. I hate it.

Consensus is that Daddy Osprey is gone from the Boulder Fairgrounds nest. He hasn't been seen for a couple of days. Here's a photo from perhaps his last appearance. Fair winds and following seas, dear one. #birds webcam screengrab

At Cattail Pond beneath the Boulder Fairgrounds osprey nest, the osprey have left (except for maybe Dad) and the pond, and soon the nest, will be left to the "others" who have been waiting patiently all summer. @everyheron.bsky.social #birds webcam screengrab

btw with the horrible lack of a winter last year and no rain this summer, the water levels are terribly low.  One can only worry.

Listen to the wildlife as they struggle with climate change.  the time to act is probably past

At the Boulder Fairgrounds osprey nest Chick Two has been gone a couple of days and Mom has been gone for over 24 hours... Migration. Likely that it is just Dad now. Not unusual to have him be last to leave in case of a rebound. Here he was this morning in the quiet light. #birds webcam screengrabs

Helicopter roundups to gather horses for slaughter are terrifying & violent. Stallions call for their families while mares are separated from foals. Horses run in blind fear into traps before being sold and slaughtered. They can't defend themselves. Help them. Contact Your Senator

At the Boulder Fairgrounds osprey nest the middle chick of the three who hatched is apparently the only chick left. The other two have migrated. Mom and Dad are still there feeding "her" but she spent the night alone at the nest. Does she get lonely? #birds webcam screengrab

Boulder Fairgrounds osprey nest last night. Chicks Two and Three. One has been gone for about two days now. Mom has not been seen since yesterday. Migration is happening. There's a German word zugunruhe that describes the anxiety birds feel prior to migration #birds webcam screengrab

Dad osprey incoming with two fish, but drops the wiggly one while landing. Waiting below are Chicks Two and Three, and Mom is on the perch up above. Chick One has been AWOL for over 24 hours and the possibility is s/he is migrating. Boulder Fairgrounds Nest webcam screengrab #birds

the middle of the three osprey chicks hatched at the boulder county fairground nest this year, looking straight at the webcam. all three chicks are doing well; it won't be long until they leave on migration. they will leave separately. typically dad leaves last. #birds webcam screengrab

one of the downsides of the location for the boulder fairgrounds osprey nest IS THE FAIRGROUNDS. normally the lights and commotion does not disturb them too much, except when it does. as in this case where there is a very unusual nightflight by one of the chicks. #birds webam screengrab

One of the three chicks at the Boulder Fairgrounds osprey nest. They are all full grown, now. They don't need as much fish as they did when they were growing. All have fledged. All are enjoying the last weeks together before they all migrate -- separately. Webcam screengrab. #birds
