[cobirds] El Paso County: White-faced Ibis
Just across the road from Squirrel Creek Road Pond, in Fountain, Colorado, 74 White-faced Ibis in the horse pasture. Awesome sight! Sure hope this group didn't have any Glossy Ibis - we couldn't tell with the bad light and distance.

[cobirds] RMBO Chatfield Banding Station, 5/3/15
Our few birds came early in the day, so the early visitors got good looks at a nice variety before things quieted to nothing by about 9:30 a.m. Banded 9, plus had some recaps from previous days this season. Red-shafted Flicker 1 House Wren 4 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Orange-crowned Warbler 1 Yellow Warbler 1 (FOS) Spotted Towhee 1 We will be open daily,weather permitting, through May 31, EXCEPT for May 8-9. We will be opening nets at 6:30, and should have the first birds back at the station by 7:30. We will close by noon most days; earlier if it is too hot. On most days, you will see more birds if you come early, and will be more likely to avoid crowds. On weekdays, we have school groups visiting every day, and they usually arrive at the station sometime between 9:30 and 10 a.m. Meredith McBurney Chatfield Banding Station Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

[cobirds] 5/2/15 Barr Lake State Park, Adams Co. CSU Field Ornithologists Trip Report
This morning several members of CSU Field Ornithologists enjoyed the organization’s last field trip of the semester. We gathered this morning at 7:30AM on campus before our drive down to Barr Lake State Park. Just before we left, we spotted a CHIMNEY SWIFT flying overhead! A very special first of season bird to start off the day! Stepping out of the cars at the Barr Lake visitor center parking lot, we were warmly greeted by the calls of WESTERN KINGBIRDS. The ubiquitous presence of these yellow-breasted, audaciously vocal flycatchers felt wonderfully appropriate as the intensifying heat (~80F!) signaled a decisive shift in season. HOUSE WRENS belted forth their loud, complicated songs with astounding force, and a YELLOW WARBLER tested out his song faintly in the treetops. We set out on foot to observe and enjoy this bountiful avian diversity. Birding at the interface between the open lake and a narrow belt of cottonwoods and willows to our north and the open prairie to our south and east, we encountered a stunning variety of species. Among the hundreds of Western Grebes and several dozen Ruddy Ducks on the lake, we spotted a COMMON LOON in breeding plumage. We beheld spectacular views of BLUE WINGED TEAL and CINNAMON TEAL. Throughout the day, flocks of several dozen AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS soared gracefully against a scene of placid blue water, lush shoreline forest, and majestic snow-capped peaks. In the shade of a flooded willow woodland along the Niedrach trail, Megan found a spectacular pair of WOOD DUCKS. A local park naturalist pointed out a nesting Black-Billed Magpie. We marveled at the magpie’s innovative construction—a spherical nest with a roof, walls, and two entrance holes. Just then, a SOLITARY SANDPIPER alighted on the driftwood near the shore. Tree Swallows flew by, grackles darted across our path, Swanson's Hawks filled the sky, blackbirds and robins and wrens sang endlessly, and everywhere one looked one saw a bird. The strange calls of Woodhouse’s Toads accompanied all the action. With the advent of new, green leaves, the land just felt alive. One simply cannot understate the magic of Spring. As we walked westward along the path around the lake, a mother Mallard guided her seven tiny ducklings around the vegetation at the edge of the lake. In a nearby irrigation ditch, four adorable, yellow, fuzzy goslings pecked at insects and plants as they followed their parents along the bank. geese really are much cuter when they are babies). Back near the nature center, we finally had great views of male and female YELLOW RUMPED WARBLERS (Audubon’s) as they methodically gleaned insects within the shaded boughs of a tall cottonwood. At the banding station (where Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory operates twenty mist nets in the fall), a BARN OWL peeped out at us from its nest box. Part of the group continued for an extra hour, spotting four BURROWING OWLS up close at a prairie dog colony along Picadilly Road (just south of the intersection with CR 128). Brandon and Megan’s cars also spotted WHITE FACED IBIS, Lesser Yellowlegs, Brewer’s Blackbirds, WILSON’S PHALAROPES, Spotted Sandpiper, and YELLOW HEADED BLACKBIRDS in a small cow pond on Picadilly Road north of the park entrance. Once again, CSUFO had a very successful trip, where advanced birders glimpsed exciting species while beginning birders learned their first field marks and songs. We’ll be back again this fall with even more great trips, meetings, and more!

[cobirds] White-throated Sparrow,Larimer County
Hi All, Have a White-throated Sparrow ground feeding with regulars in my yard this afternoon. This one, for a change, is NOT the tan form but a lovely white and black striped with yellow lores not shy of eating alongside a squirrel. A FOS Bullock's Oriole male has been on the rivertrail for a couple of days along with lots of House Wrens and a few Yellow-rumped Warblers. If the White-throat sticks around, I'll post tomorrow and anyone who wants to list one is welcome. Just give us a call first at 970-635-9095.

[cobirds] Broad-winged Hawk, Cordilleran Flycatcher, and C. Poorwill @ Botanic Gardens (Denver)
I posted yesterday about a flycatcher at Cheesman Park in Denver. It turned out to be a Cordilleran. Today, there was another -- seemingly different -- flycatcher at the Gardens that also may be a Cordilleran. Today, the flycatcher was hanging out in the same general area as a Rock Wren, not far from the Common Poorwill, in the Dryland Mesa garden. It was foraging low in some of the bushy plants in the garden. (Photographs of the May 2 bird are here: https://birderbyaccident.wordpress.com/2015/05/02/cheesman-park-flycatcher/ and of the May 3 bird are here: https://birderbyaccident.wordpress.com/2015/05/03/denver-botanic-gardens-unidentified-bird/ ) The poorwill appears to have perched for the better part of the day in the slate of the Conservation Garden. I posted about the bird around 10:00 a.m. Jeff Dawson reported it on eBird at 3:30 p.m. I'm glad to see the foot traffic didn't disturb the bird. A trail through the Conservation Garden brings passerby within ten or so feet of the bird; the trails through the Lilac Garden behind the bird put people even closer, I'd guess. A photograph of what non-birding passerby saw when they looked at this garden is here: https://birderbyaccident.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/dsc_0361-poorwill-zoomed-out.jpg. Two additional photos of the bird are here: https://birderbyaccident.wordpress.com/2015/05/03/denver-botanic-gardens-common-poorwill/ I was glad to find this bird at the Gardens again and get a proper look. In May 2013, I may (or may not) have seen a poorwill at the Gardens. At the time, I was in my second spring as a birder and my first in Colorado. I was using binoculars that offered a small field of vision and dull images. I hadn't yet seen a Common Nighthawk, so had no real point of reference for what I saw. And all I saw was a bird that struck me as the right size for a poorwill and had rounded wings. Given my inexperience and the rather ambiguous views I had of the bird, I didn't report or list it then. Interestingly, I flushed that probable poorwill from the same area where I first flushed this bird: the trails among the lilacs. Yesterday, an Osprey flew over the Gardens. This caught me off guard, and I was fortunate to get some lousy photographs that confirmed that the bird I thought was an Osprey indeed was. Later in that visit, some Turkey Vulture came in; I quickly counted five. As they left the sky over the Gardens and Cheesman, I noticed some didn't look much like vulture. I took more lousy photographs, which may show a Swainson's Hawk. All of this led me to attend more carefully to the flyovers and photograph birds when they're directly overhead, rather than calling all large birds above me either the resident Red-tails or TV, shrugging my shoulders, and moving on. This paid off today, when a Broad-winged Hawk flew over the Gardens. Photographs are here: https://birderbyaccident.wordpress.com/2015/05/03/denver-botanic-gardens-broad-winged-hawk/ It has been something of an education trying to identify the hawks that merely pass by the park and Gardens. I've noticed that migrating raptors seem to prefer to enter the sky over the Gardens by its southwestern edge (approximately 9th and Race or Vine St.). Virtually all of the vultures I've seen this spring have come from that direction; so too did the possible Swainson's, the Broad-winged Hawk, and the Osprey. If you find yourself at the Gardens, it may be worth spending a moment or two looking at the usually empty sky on that edge... Broad-tailed Hummingbird numbers in the Garden seem to be increasing; there were at least three in the main Gardens today and there has been another one in the children's garden. A flock of at least a dozen Chipping Sparrow seem to be hanging around, too. Barn and Violet-green Swallow fly over the Gardens, occasionally coming down low with the visitors. A few Canada Geese are hanging around, but I've seen volunteers at the Garden chase them away with something that looks like a laundry detergent container on a rope. A pair of Cooper's Hawks, which I think is made up of an adult female and a juvenile male is nest building on the western edge of Cheesman. A red-tail pair is doing the same on the northern edge of Little Cheesman, the small extension of Cheesman between 8th and 7th Avenues. Finally, at Cheesman this morning, I came upon an American Robin repurposing our mess for itself. A photograph of it collecting a heap of plastic or paper for a nest is here: https://birderbyaccident.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/dsc_0270-robin-with-mouthful-of-mess.jpg - Jared Del Rosso Denver, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

[cobirds] White-eyed Vireo Still Present at Barr Lake
I went to Barr Lake for the dawn chorus and had over 60 species. The WHITE-EYED VIREO was in the previously reported location, about 50 yards North of the pedestrian bridge on the lake side of the path. It was actively singing and foraging giving very good looks. Also present were BULLOCK's ORIOLES, LINCOLN's SPARROWS, YELLOW WARBLERS, and at least 50 HOUSE WRENS. On the back-side of Barr Lake in the Marshes near the I-76 Frontage Road I found YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRDS, MARSH WRENS, and numerous GREAT-TAILED GRACKLES. At the RMBO Offices a juvenile BALD EAGLE and great views of the OSPREYS were very welcome. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

[cobirds] New Backyard Bird and More
After living in our place for 20 years, we have accumulated a backyard list of 149 species. We live only 4 miles from the MV Refuge so we get a good assortment of things. We are lucky to have seen things like Whooping Cranes fly over the house and be on the list. Well, this weekend a new bird arrivedVirginia Rail. It was standing in a sheltered place and we got some pics of it. It was quite a bird out of place. Yesterday, at Home Lake, Jerry Poe found an adult male Summer Tanager in the crabapple trees at the Home Lake Veterans Center (Rio Grande County). I went out and got a few photos of this beautiful bird. Things are starting to move on the bird front.
