[cobirds] Gray Flycatcher, Boulder Co
All, I saw a Gray Flycatcher this morning in Bear Creek about 200 yds west of the trail access off Bear Mountain Drive in Southwest Boulder. It was quite active and calling. This species is being seen a lot this spring in the northern Front Range. Having seen the bird on the CU campus last Saturday, this means I have doubled my sightings of this species in the county in the last six days, Cheers, Peter Gent. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

[cobirds] Wilsons' Sniipe, Alamosa County
Today on North River Road between Colorado 17 and State Street, at north end of Alamosa Ranch, a Wilson's Snipe performed its erratic flight - the first time I have seen one flying above ground. (You call that flying!!??) It was approx 10-12 feet above ground, zigging, zagging,jerking up and down. Then it flew across the road, south to north, in front of my car and disappeared in the field. Quite a treat. Since I was driving, I didn't hear any sound from it or see it again after it landed. Numerous beautiful Swainson's Hawks can be seen here now.

Weather: It was a DBD (dead blue day). Sky was beautiful blue, barely any wind. Raptor Observations: There was a lot of 'black dots' way west of Mt. Morrison the first hour- too far for me to even id. They seemed to be going north and not staying around, but I just couldn't see what they were. I did see one Bald Eagle west but assume it was a local, since it did not go north. A local RTHA pretty much hung out around the watch all day and displayed for me, with a very full crop. Non-raptor Observations: Black-capped Chickadee (2), American Robin (2), W. Meadowlark (2), Spotted Towhee (3), BB Magpie (3), WTSwifts (3), Common Raven(9), Tree Swallow (2), Bluebird (4), W Scrubjay (8), Sparrow ??(6), American Crow (1) 3 local TV's were near as I left for the day. 1 Western Scrubjay wanted to eat my sandwich with me. Predictions: This was my last day at Hawk Watch. Thanks to everyone that I birded with and for all they taught me! I had a great time and hope to be able to do it again next year! Happy Birding! Report submitted by Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory (jeff.bi...@rmbo.org) Dinosaur Ridge information may be found at: http://www.rmbo.org/ Site Description: Dinosaur Ridge is the only regularly staffed hawkwatch in Colorado and is the best place in the world to see migrating Ferruginous Hawks. Dinosaur Ridge may be the best place in the country to see the rare dark morph of the Broad-winged Hawk (a few are seen each spring). Hawkwatchers who linger long enough may see resident Golden Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks and Prairie Falcons, in addition to migrating Swainson's, Cooper's and Sharp-shinned Hawks, American Kestrels and Turkey Vultures. Peregrine Falcons and Ferruginous Hawks are uncommon; Northern Goshawk is rare but regular. Non-raptor species include Rock Wren, and sometimes Bushtit, Western Bluebird, Sandhill Crane, White-throated Swift, American White Pelican or Dusky Grouse. Birders are always welcome. The hawkwatch is generally staffed by volunteers from the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory from about 9 AM to around 4 PM from the first week of March to the first week of May. Directions to site: From exit 259 on I-70 towards Morrison, drive south under freeway and take left into first parking lot, the Stegosaurus lot. Follow small signs from the south side of lot to hawkwatch site. The hike starts heading east on an old two-track and quickly turns south onto a trail on the west side of the ridge. When the trail nears the top of the ridge, turn left, head through the gate, and walk to the clearly-visible, flat area at the crest of the ridge. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

[cobirds] Boulder County post script--Valmont Franklin's Gulls
After some reflection I wanted to add another interesting (to me) facet of my evening birding this night. My last stop was the Valmont Reservoir overlook where I observed Gullapalooza numbers of Franklin's Gulls. This interested me for two reasons: First, I'm not sure I've ever seen any black-headed-type gulls at Valmont (although Tim Smart saw at least a couple of Bonaparte's Gulls at the aforementioned Gullapalooza in January), although I'm not sure I've ever stopped there at sunset in early May. This evening there were easily 500 strung out over the NE of the three reservoirs (Valmont). Second, all of the black-headed-type gulls were Franklin's. The two commonest species (Franklin's and Bonaparte's) really seem to segregate themselves, at least in Boulder County. Do others observe something similar?

If you are phoning in a message, you can skip the recording by pressing the star key (*) on your phone at any time. Please leave your name, phone number, detailed directions, including county and dates for each sighting. It would be helpful if you would spell your last name. Highlight species include: (* denotes that there is new information on the species in this report) GLOSSY IBIS (Fremont, Otero) Little Blue Heron (Adams) TRICOLORED HERON (Jefferson, *Douglas) Broad-winged Hawk (Delta) Gray Flycatcher (*Boulder, Jefferson) Curve-billed Thrasher (Jefferson) Yellow-throated Vireo (*Fremont) Blue-winged Warbler (*El Paso) Nashville Warbler (Prowers) Northern Parula (Boulder) Palm Warbler (Yuma, *Fremont, *Mesa) Hooded Warbler (Custer, Bent) Summer Tanager (*Fremont) BLACK-CHINNED SPARROW (Mesa) Fox Sparrow (Jefferson) Harris's Sparrow (Jefferson) GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW (Jefferson) Adams County: --A blue morph Little Blue Heron was found on 4/27 and seen again on 4/28 by Cech near 100th and McKay Road in Thornton at the Sprat-Platte fishing facility. He was on the island and visible from the Platte River Trail directly south of the island. Park on McKay road at the South Platte River, take the bike trail south (upstream) about half a mile until the island is on your right. Bent County: -- A male Hooded Warbler was found on 4/29 by Leatherman at Tempel Grove (Kiowa CR35 at the Ft. Lyon Ditch) about 70 paces east of the CR35 Birding Trail Sign along the ditch road. REMINDER: it is OK to walk along the ditch road on either side of CR35 at Tempel Grove. It is NOT OK to walk around in their yard, among their farm implements, and fields as has happened of late according to the Tempel's and their workers. Please respect the rights of these nice folks who fought hard to save the trees that constitute this wonderful oasis habitat. They didn't save the trees in order to have their yard tromped and privacy violated. Thanks. Boulder County: --On 4/28 Paula Hansley (720-890-2628) had a Northern Parula in her yard in Louisville. She also has a White-throated Sparrow in her yard. --Gent reports a Gray Flycatcher seen on May 5 along Bear Creek about 200 yds. west of trail access off Bear Mtn. Dr. in southwest Boulder. --On 4/30 Moore reported a Gray Flycatcher just west of CU Stadium. Custer County: --On 4/28 Miller found a Hooded Warbler in the willows along Grape Creek just below the DeWeese Res. dam. Delta County: --Beason found a Broad-winged Hawk (very unusual for the western slope) at Bethlehem Cemetery near Paonia on 4/29. Douglas County: --On May 2 Lentz found a TRICOLORED HERON in the Plum Creek delta at Chatfield State Park. The heron has been seen in the same area daily (but often with some difficulty) through May 5. To look for the heron, the best plan seems to be to walk out to the end of the Plum Creek delta sandspit and search to the south in the area of heavy vegetation. El Paso County: --Gobris banded a Blue-winged Warbler at Chico Basin Ranch (fee) on May 4. It was still present on May 5. Other warblers seen here on May 5 include Orange-crowned, No. Parula, No. Waterthrush, and Virginia's. Fremont County: --Moss found 3 Glossy Ibis in an agricultural field on the edge of Florence on 4/27. --On April 30, Percival et al had Summer Tanager, Yellow-throated Vireo and Palm Warbler along the Canon City River walk. Jefferson County: --On May 1 Henwood reported a slate-colored Fox Sparrow along with the Curve-billed Thrasher, White-throated Sparrow, GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW and Harris's Sparrow at Red Rocks Trading Post. Except for the Fox Sparrow, these birds were seen again on May 3. --On May 1 Chavez reported a Gray Flycatcher at Welchester Tree Park in Lakewood/Golden. The park is on 8th Ave west of Simms. --On May 1 Semo reported a TRICOLORED HERON at Wadsworth and 92nd but it flew off toward Big Dry Creek at approximately 100th and Wadsworth Parkway. There have been no further reports of this bird, and it may be the same individual present at Chatfield Reservoir since May 2. Mesa County: --A BLACK-CHINNED SPARROW was reported by Frid (an Ontario birder) on Devil's Kitchen Trail in Colorado National Monument on April 9. It was still there on the 28th though it has moved closer to the trailhead due to a flash flood in the area. Parking is limited in the area. Please do not park along the road or off road. Please stay on trails and use restraint in approaching the bird. ?Dogs are not allowed in the monument. Directions courtesy of Larry Arnold: use the East entrance to CNM. After passing through the East Entrance station go about .2 miles and you will see a road to the right leading to the Devils Kitchen
[cobirds] BL Kittiwakes!!!! at Windsor L, WELD; Field Sparrow at Black Hollow.
Greetings All At Windsor Lake, mid-day, I saw one BL Kittiwake in the air with RB Gulls and was most pleased. A few minutes later, I saw it perched on the town side of the lake (south side) at the end of a small fishing pier (concrete on top, salmon colored rocks shoring it up). I presume this is where the bird had been found perched a week or so ago. I raced over to the spot, and found TWO BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKES (both immatures) perched there. They were rather approachable and tasty photos were obtained. Given the current duration of stay, I would not be shocked if these birds try to over-summer. Just upon exiting Crow Valley, I found a MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD, which the ebird screen punches out as rare... I guess it is late for a migrant Mountain B. Migration at Crow Valley was slowish, with only 7 Orange-crowned Warblers and not many more Yellow-rumpeds present. 9 Brown Thrashers, flying in small groups off the grasslands towards the campground in the early morning was an odd sight, and were presumably arriving migrants. Gambel's White-crowned Sparrows are still about in good numbers (I don't know if this is unexpected, but the 78 I entered into ebird was flagged). At Black Hollow Reservoir, there was a singing FIELD SPARROW, which was not flagged by ebird, but is rare per Colorado Birds. There were also 6 Semipalmated Plovers there, which may be a number of interest, or not?? The big gulls have pretty much evacuated the area, with only one Herring Gull remaining. At Timnath Reservoir, there was a goodly 70 Horned Grebes still about, 90 Bonaparte's Gulls, 6 lingering Common Goldeneye, and a female GREATER SCAUP. Finally, there are still scads of ducks at Fossil Creek Res, the most numerous of which were 400 Gadwall, and perhaps the most interesting of which were 2 Red-breasted Mergansers (along with 7 Commons and 2 Hoodeds). 109 species in all, dallying about by myself. So despite the lack of any megas (well, excepting the kittiwakes) like Golden-winged, or even Hooded, Warbler... it was a nice day in the sun.

[cobirds] Sale Lake, Boulder County
I stopped at this teeny pond that has seen some good warblers in the past few years, and I wasn't disappointed. EVERY single yellow-rumped warbler in Boulder County was there at that very moment. Imagine my surprise! The real reason for this post is that a Golden Eagle was soaring just north of the pond, basically over 28th St. Cara Stiles Boulder, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

[cobirds] Last Chance, Washington county
Hi all, Last Chance which is at the intersection of highway 71 highway 36, was pretty slow today but I'm sure things will be picking up. Yellow-rumped Warbler,[both Myrtle and Audubon's, present] Orange-crowned Warbler Say's Phoebe, several Western Kingbird American Goldfinch Pine Siskin Eurasian Collared-Dove, too many White-crowned Sparrow, [Gambel's] Chipping Sparrow, many Lark Sparrow, everywhere Common Grackle, gobs, only males unidentified Flycatcher seen way in the distance Barn Swallow Cliff Swallow and the usual local birds. All and all, not much variety or quanity and grasslands are very, very, dry in the area. No Yellow Warbler yet, and no Thrush today. Happy Birding !
