Not a great photo, but the best I could do today.

Seen this morning in Boulder CO, USA.

We saw some on the lake today and I would have had no idea what they were if not for this post.

Oh, then I'm glad that I posted it! What a coincidence.

I was thinking it was a Russian Olive. It looks like their leaves and flowers are fairly close, but the plants are very different lol. Wonder which it is.

on closer inspection, I think you are right. sea buckthorn flowers look completely different.

I can post more photos of that specific tree later this week

A nice intense blackbird.
