[cobirds] 9/16,Flagler SWA,Kit Carson county

2013-09-16 Thread Tina Jones
I went out to Flagler State Wildlife area late Monday afternoon[next to the 
town of Flagler]. I did not expect to see the Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, but I 
thought I might see a Flycatcher[which I did not].
 
Well the first hour was dismal in the sense of many birds. The reason was the 
presence of a beautiful m. Peregrine Falcon, who sat for ages on a post, and in 
the general area was a Prairie Falcon, who sat on top of a tree. Then  a male 
Kestrel came into check things out. There was not a migrant bird for at least 1 
hour or longer.
 
1, Osprey hung around for a bit over the main pond.
 
When I was ready to say "I'll see nothing now because of the raptors", I found 
some bird action. In the tall Cottonwoods with Russian Olive as an understory, 
1, Cassin's Vireo jumped out. In the Olives was 1, Nashville warbler, and a 
Yellow Warbler. On the side of the tall Cottonwoods in dead shrubs were 5 
immature White-crowned Sparrow and 1, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. 3, Wilson's 
Warblers dashed in and out of a small Willow. 1, Savannah Sparrow was present 
also. One male Baltimore Oriole dashed out of a tree, out of sight, into a 
Cottonwood. Views were quick and the birds were cautious.
 
Many American Robins were feeding on Russian Olive berries.
 
The main Pond had at least 42, Blue-winged Teal, and 8, Northern Shoveler. No 
Shorebirds 
 
Happy Birding,
Tina Jones

[cobirds] Lamar Community College Woods (Prowers) on 9/16/13

2013-09-16 Thread DAVID A LEATHERMAN



Janeal Thompson and I got to the north end of the Lamar Community College Woods 
about 10am this morning and never got more than 100 yards to the south by 
mid-afternoon.  To say that it was hopping would be an understatement.

Highlights:
CANADA WARBLER (1f)  hardest bird on the planet to photograph under the light 
conditions.  Stayed mostly in the matrimony vine (aka "wolfberry") thicket 
under the big cottonwoods between the main trail and Willow Creek to the east.  
It also frequented the tamarisk thickets far east of the trail (i.e. the 
riparian vegetation on the west shore of Willow Creek), with retreats into the 
lower canopies of cottonwoods on occasion, and into Russian-olives on occasion, 
all about 75 yards s of the north end of the woods.

Blue-headed Vireo (at least 2)

Red-eyed Vireo (at least 3)

Northern Waterthrush (1)

Black-throated Blue Warbler (1f) - seen briefly by Janeal

Nashville Warbler (at least 2, maybe as many as 5)

Black-and-white Warbler (at least 2f)

Black-throated Green Warbler?  (based on the very limited amount of yellow on 
the underparts and what appears to be a yellow vent area, that's probably the 
ID of this bird seen and photographed by Janeal).

Townsend's Warbler (1 or 2)

probable YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER (perhaps the same bird seen yesterday and 
thought to be this species, although in a location fairly far away (i.e., today 
at the north end of the woods, w of the trail in the shadows of Russian-olives 
and small hackberries, always down low)

Baltimore Oriole (1m)

Mississippi Kite (huge flock of over 40 birds moving southward overhead)

Northern Cardinal (heard)

Red-bellied Woodpecker (heard)

Total of right at 40 species (no sparrows, 1 thrush, 1 swallow, only waterbird 
was a kingfisher), all in the north end of the LCC Woods!

Comments I forgot to make over the last couple days:
Lots of Swainson's Hawks grouping up in the area, on the ground, soaring.  A 
couple of these were dark immatures, a morph I have not seen a whole lot of 
over the years.  One was photographed in a cottonwood at Tempel's Grove (where 
on 9/14 there were NOT a lot of other birds (one Black-and-white and a 
redstart, for best birds)).

Chiggers are an issue at LCC and probably anywhere down here with tall grass 
and kochia weeds.  Janeal, Duane Nelson, and I all got a crop, despite DEET and 
other precautions involving tucking pant cuffs in socks, etc.

The birds are turning over fast and, as Joe's relayed field reports from Doug 
and Mackenzie at Flagler indicate, things change in a matter of hours.

Major prey items at present appear to be green lacewings, mosquitoes, a species 
(or small set of species) of pyralid moths (tan, triangular, with pointed 
snouts similar to sod webworms), dogday cicadas, and grasshoppers.  

This area only got about an inch and a half of rain, which is wonderful 
(something significant but not too much), and the Arkansas River is not running 
full (still has sandbars under the main bridge north of the Cow Palace Motel in 
Lamar).

[cobirds] Pueblo birds 9/15-9/16

2013-09-16 Thread Brandon K. Percival
Not too much to report down here.  Yesterday, 15 Sept, I saw a female/immature 
American Redstart in my yard in Pueblo West for a few minutes.  A little later, 
Margie Joy and I saw a female Bullock's Oriole down the street, which is 
getting late for them.

Today, 16 Sept, a Dickcissel, perhaps the same one I saw the other day, was 
flying around and calling at Snakeskin Picnic Area, below Pueblo Reservoir dam. 
 On the Rock Canyon side of the river, in the Osprey Picnic Area, I saw two 
Black Phoebes, which I haven't been seeing too much recently.  The only 
warblers I saw today, were lots of Wilson's, plus a couple of Yellows, and an 
Orange-crowned.  At Pueblo Reservoir today, from Sailboard launching area, I 
saw a Peregrine Falcon.

Next Saturday, is the annual Pueblo County Fall Bird Count, going on throughout 
the county, hopefully some interesting things will turn up.

Good birding,

[cobirds] Additional Closures in Crowley County and Sabine's Gull sighting

2013-09-16 Thread Douglas Kibbe
In addition to the NE Colorado park and SWA closures, birders should be aware 
that both Lake Henry and Lake Meredith in Crowley County are closed to access.  
According to the posted notice, these closures may extend until April 21, 2014.

We found this out the hard way yesterday Sept 15, and were forced to 
concentrate on the cattle feedlot on CR G between the two lakes.  There we were 
surprised to find a juvenile Sabine's Gull.

HI COBirders,

It never did match the forecast for today, and we were under low ceiling, fog, 
mists, and light winds all morning Not much arrived.

BUT we did get an FOS, FOY, FO ever handled, FO ever banded at CBR, GREAT 
CRESTED FLYCATCHER, adult male by measures. Photos available. 
 
Other than that, several recaptures from the last couple days, and a few 
Wilson's Warblers, Western Flycatcher, and Swainson's Thrush.
Fairly dead.

Hoping for more clear skies,

Anyone interested there's some feed back info regarding the hummer present 
last week. It has been confirmed as Ruby-throated and some interesting 
rationale as to why on this blog. - http://zapatabirding.wordpress.com

Unfortunately the bird has not been present since the 11th September.
Thank you to everybody who helped out and corresponded with me regarding 
the bird.
