Cobirds:
For Sunday May 20th - I surveyed 5 locations near Boulder
that now have male Bobolinks actively singing and skylarking:
1. Teller Lake 5 area off Valmont Road - hike in about 3/4 of a mile
(as previously reported by others)
2. Open Space properties off Gaptor and Dimmit Roads (near bike
path) - at least 6 males
3. South Boulder Creek Trail (Bobolink Trail) from Baseline and
Gaptor going south - 1 male
4. City of Boulder Open Space headquarters on Cherryvale - at least 3
males singing, along with lots of savanah sparrows, wilson's snipe,
red winged blackbirds, and barn swallows.
5. City of Boulder Open Space (Church section) along Cherryvale Road
- drive south from South Boulder Road and Cherryvale - sections along
both sides of the road (drive carefully - no pullouts!)
Up in the foothills:
Myers Gulch Trail yeilded 8 Western bluebirds and 4 Mountain
bluebirds, along with green tailed towhees, vesper sparrows,
McGillvray's warblers. Nice to see so many bluebirds using the nest
boxes that volunteers haved worked so hard to establish. Kudos to
them.
