[cobirds] Southeast CO Oct 15th

Uncle Van Truan (who is recently retired) and I found a few interesting migrants and other birds today in SE Colorado, in Kiowa, Prowers, and Bent Counties mostly. We didn't have much luck with rarer mountain birds, though we did find single Mountain Chickadees in both Kiowa County and Bent

[cobirds] New Yard Bird, Palm Warbler,Jefferson County

Hi Cobirders, I had a Palm Warbler[western], in my backyard on 10/13/2020. The bird was jumping up in the air, catching insects. A very obvious dark eyeline with a light brow. The bird was constantly wagging it's tail. I was excited about seeing this bird, when I looked over at the birdbath

[cobirds] Sandhill Cranes - Douglas

Yesterday at least 5 flocks of cranes flew over our house, most of them a mere 100, but one that spent 5 minutes swirling overhead had 650 in it. Today 3 flocks -- one seen with about 75 cranes. And with the cold temperatures, we spent only 2 hours outside - late morning - and didn't pick up

[cobirds] Harris's Sparrow continuing at Barr Lake (Adams)

As I watched one immature Harris’s Sparrow at the Barr Lake SP visitor center this morning, a second popped in to join the first. At about 10:40 a.m. a flock of about 40 Sandhill Cranes flew over. A few minutes latter, a group of about 120 flew over the lake bed to circle in a thermal. Chuck

[cobirds] Re: Sandhill cranes

I want to add a time note to my email above. To be clear, the sandhill cranes were over Highlands Ranch on 10/14/2020 at 2PM. I'm not sure why my post shows up so many hours later. It kind of defeats the purpose of timely reporting, IMO. I am aware of the need for moderators approval but
