[cobirds] Golden-crowned Sparrow - Red Rocks - Jeffco

2011-11-18 Thread mike
Threw some seed out before 7 at the Red Rocks feeders - The Adult  
Golden-crowned Sparrow appeared for the first time at 7:22 A.M.  The  
pair of Prairie Falcons are still in the park and early in the morning  
are usually seen near Cave Rock.  Last winter we had only one Prairie  
Falcon winter in the park.

[cobirds] Sedgwick and Phillips counties (Wood Thrush)

2011-11-18 Thread Nick Moore
Myself, Lisa Edwards, John Drummond, and Brandon Percival started out the today 
successfully finding the Common Ground-Dove at the previously described 
location. Next we headed south to Holyoke. At the small fishing pond east of 
town we found a male Rusty Blackbird in the ditch along the pond. Next we 
headed to the cemetery where we relocated the female Hooded Warbler. No 
crossbills were found as we searched the pine trees in town. Our next stop was 
Haxton. At the sewer ponds we found Snow, Cackling and Greater White-fronted 
Geese along with many mallards and Canvasback and Common Goldeneye. The small 
park in  town produced even more birds. A Merlin was the first bird we found. 
Then on the south edge of the park we found a Golden-crowned Kinglet, a 
Northern Parula, and a Wood Thrush! We will be birding our way back to the 
front range for the rest of the day and will report if more rarities are found.

[cobirds] Harris's Sparrow- CCSP, Arapahoe Co.

2011-11-18 Thread Kirk Huffstater
Had a 1st-winter Harris’s Sparrow today around 1pm on the Lake Loop at Cherry 
Creek State Park, at the north end of the rowing/boat building.

Also a very cooperative dark intermediate (“Western”) adult Red-tailed Hawk 
(chocolate brown color) at the same locationgorgeous bird, preoccupied with 
some poor critter on the ground.

Many Bonaparte’s Gulls on the reservoir, along with lots of Western Grebes.

[cobirds] Re-found Prothonotary Warbler / Larimer Co.

2011-11-18 Thread BRUCE RENEE BAKER
CObirders,

Nick Komar and others re-found the Prothonotary Warbler at 2:10 pm today. It 
has moved since yesterday and is now located on the east side of Dixon 
Reservoir. Nick identified the bird as a first-year female. Thanks Nick, it was 
likely tough to find in the wind, good work. Check previous message for 
directions to Dixon.

Happy birding,

Bruce Baker

[cobirds] Lost Glove at Common Ground Dove location

2011-11-18 Thread ROSSGULL
We saw the Ground dove at the reported location about 1 PM Friday. In the  
area was a very nice black Thinsulate glove. If it is yours we will try to  
get it to you.  Bill and Inez Prather Longmont

[cobirds] Cedar Waxwing,Jefferson County

2011-11-18 Thread Tina Jones




Hi all, There have been anywhere from 22-30 Cedar Waxwings at the 
corner/intersection of S. Sheridan and Sunset for the last few days. They hang 
out in the NW corner at this intersection. There is a long row of Juniper trees 
at this NW area of the intersection. I have only seen the birds from about 3:30 
pm on, feeding with American Robins. I keep looking for a Bohemian Waxwing but 
to no avail. It is best to park your car on Sunset on the side of the road, and 
park it away from traffic, for safety. I know the birds are not unusual, but 
very pretty. Happy Birding!Tina JonesLittleton, Jefferson County, CO

[cobirds] NE Colorado 11/18 -- photos and Thanks

2011-11-18 Thread Brandon K. Percival
I've downloaded photos of a few of the more unusual birds that Lisa, John, 
Nick, and I saw today.  They can be seen 
at http://www.flickr.com/photos/brandonsbirdphotos/

I want to THANK Joe Roller, Forrest Luke, Doug Kibbe, and Jeff Dawson who were 
looking at the Common Ground-Dove, when we arrived this morning.  The four of 
us got to see the bird, while we were still in the vehicle as we arrived!  
Another example of how Colorado birders are extremely helpful in helping each 
other see the bird!

Also, a big thanks to Lisa Edwards for asking me to come on this trip today, a 
very fun day in Northeastern Colorado for sure -- of course, if we had only 
seen the Common Ground-Dove, it would have still be a good day.  Though when 
you add other things like Wood Thrush, Northern Parula, Hooded Warbler, Rusty 
Blackbird, I'd say it was a great day!  Also, It is always fun to run into 
birders who I've known for years, and don't see very often.  It was great to 
see the Bill and Inez Prather at Jumbo Reservoir and Forrest Luke today, and 
everyone else of course!

Good birding, 

Brandon Percival

[cobirds] Worm-eating Warbler-not today but Eastern Bluebirds were back near the Canon City Riverwalk

2011-11-18 Thread SeEtta Moss
 I ran into Evergreen birders Scott Dieni and Stephanie Jones at the Canon
City Riverwalk but we did not refind the Worm-eating Warbler.  We did enjoy
a flock of 25-30 Cedar Waxwings and several Eastern Bluebirds that I had
reported on last week but not seen for a few days.

I have uploaded photos of the juvenile Yellow-bellied Sapsucker I found at
Centennial Park and reported on yesterday onto my Birds and
Naturehttp://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.comblog.  I will also get some
photos soon of a flock of Bushtits that has
been around the Riverwalk recently.
