Despite what some may think, Sombrero and the larger Rocky Mountain area are home to many exotic birds. Though the bald eagle often steals the show, western tanagers, magpies, robins, swallows, stellar jays, and more adorn our canopies with their splash of color and spunky personalities.
Shown here is the violet-green swallow - known to be acrobatic birds and secondary cavity nesters (often using our barns as nesting places) - and the robin, a bird known to eat worms by morning and berries by evening, giving them the quintessential status as “tipsy birds” due to the berries fermented state.
