[cobirds] Re: Birding Makes The Cover of Sports Illustrated!
Thanks Gary for sharing! The SI cover illustration is by the great Arthur Singer - of Golden Guide fame (any many other great books) and together with his son did the 50 state birds and flowers stamps. Plus some of those great National Geographic posters that some of us hung on our bedroom walls. http://www.singerarts.com/arthursinger/bio.htm Best, Scott Severs Longmont On Wednesday, July 25, 2012 2:11:48 PM UTC-6, The Nunn Guy wrote: If you wish a copy of the aforementioned SI birding issue cover ... here's how: Gary, I was wrong in my earlier email. We have a site (sicovers.com) where you can purchase a 11x 14 copy of that for about $20. Unfortunately, it's not currently on the site but our photo rights person is adding it in the next day or two (you're not the first person to ask). So bookmark that site, go back to it on, say, Friday and you should be all set. If not, let me know and I'll figure out why it's not working. Apologies for that email earlier. I didn't realize covers were different than photos that appear in the mag. Thanks.

[cobirds] Nocturnal migration, Lafayette, Boulder County, July 26th
Hello, Birders. There was a nice night flight over Lafayette, Boulder County, Colorado, between 3:30 and 4:30 this morning, Thursday, Jul. 26th. Chipping and Lark sparrows were slow but steady during the hour I was out, and I heard 1 or 2 flocks of Baird's Sandpipers passing over.

[cobirds] Eurasian Collared-dove behavior
For 5 years, Eurasian Collared-doves have frequented my yard in Colorado Springs. They are somewhat aggressive toward Mourning Doves, but have not driven them from the yard. This year I observed some VERY aggressive behavior by doves toward American Crows, a pair of which nests in a neighbor's tree. One or 2 of the doves have begun chasing crows at high speed through the yard and adjoining property. The doves fly right on the tails of the crows, outmaneuvering the crows in the air. The harassment is not limited to aerial pursuit, but now includes attacks on crows on the ground. The crows are bigger and present more of a physical threat to the doves, but for some reason, the doves have intimidated the local crows. Has anyone else observed similar behavior?

[cobirds] Re: Eurasian Collared-dove behavior
The EC Doves and Mourning Doves in my yard this year (a pair of each) settled on an uneasy truce, under the feeders. The occasional aggressive rush from one species toward the other to drive it from prime seed pickings, but nothing like you're describing with the crows. - Dave Cameron On Thursday, July 26, 2012 2:17:14 PM UTC-6, (unknown) wrote: For 5 years, Eurasian Collared-doves have frequented my yard in Colorado Springs.

Re: [cobirds] Eurasian Collared-dove behavior
I happened upon some House Finches aggressively chasing a Crow once--- the Crow clearly had a nestling in its mouth. Your ECD's may have witnessed this Crow behavior before. In fact, Crows aren't the only corvid who enjoy eating nestlings. Tom Pollock Aurora, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

Wow-- 1955. The year my parents were married, and the year my house was built. How can I not buy the SI birding issue of the same year?!
