[cobirds] Lark Bunting Nests Take A Major Hit/Nunn
Hi all Last two evenings we've had two very impressive storm cells pass through Nunn. The first one (https://www.flickr.com/photos/31216446@N06/sets/72157644914899960/), Sunday evening, produced a HUGE swath of 1.5 - 2 inch hail field about 3 miles north of us (see last three photos from front door) and a tornado about an hour later. Last night a second storm (https://www.flickr.com/photos/31216446@N06/sets/72157645343466555/) blew through Nunn--this one scarier looking than Sunday's--we hopped in car went to Nunn's Point of Interest parking lot to be on the ready (to escape) and met up with about 7 other vehicles watching some chasing the storm--two storm-chasing vans loaded with chasers/gear zoomed by our house before we left it. At the Point of Interest we talked with Univ of Colorado-Denver bird researchers who fled CPER because of storm. It was sad to hear that she (they) monitors about 137 Lark Bunting nests and she said all but about 30 were destroyed by hail/weather. I'm sure many other grassland species also suffered as well. As she stated to us we lost a generation of Lark Buntings ... :-( We are in the severe weather zone again today.

[cobirds] Lark Buntings, western Pueblo County
COBirders, Sad report by Gary Lefko about the Lark Buntings in northern Colorado. For the first time (in my 40-year experience) there have been Larks Buntings staying for several weeks near the intersection of Siloam Road and CO highway 96. I pass by there a couple of times a week every week and have been seeing them consistently for more than a month. I've thought maybe with this wetter spring they might attempt to nest on the short-grass prairie there.

[cobirds] Echo Lake - Clear Creek County
Date: 24 June 2014 Time: 05:00 am - 08:30 am Location: Echo Lake, Colorado Main Notes: I took a quick trip up to Echo Lake today. The birds there were what you'd expect to find at this time of the year. Notable birds: Barrow's Goldeneye, Lincoln's Sparrow, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Pine Siskin, Pine Grosbeak, Wilson's Warbler, Cordilleran Flycatcher, Brown Creeper, Clark's Nutcracker. About a mile south of the lake, at Juniper Pass Picnic Area, I parked and found a Band-tailed Pigeon along with 9 or so more nutcrackers. Notes not worth reading: There were quite a few Cordilleran Flycatchers at the picnic area on the north side of the lake by the road. One was building a nest on the side of one of the shelters. I didn't want to get too close and I was using a tree as a blind when one of the Red Squirrels (Pine Squirrel) decided I might have food. He or she came over, climbed the tree I was leaning on, and stared at me from a matter of inches. I told it that unless it wanted to bite my nose, I had no food and it should just move on, which it did. Good choice for me. Over the lake, I saw a slow falling, spiralling somethingwhich upon closer inspection turned out to be mating Tree Swallows. Very interesting to watch, but since I was trying to figure out what I was seeing, I was looking with my binoculars and not my camera, so no photos of that. The Wilson's Warblers, Lincoln Sparrows, Pine Siskins, and kinglets were in abundance, as were the Broad-tailed Hummingbirds. The Pine Grosbeaks up there are fairly tame, so if you can spot them, you can usually approach fairly close. That is it. I didn't bother to go up Mt Evans road. I was on the DFO trip to RMNP on Sunday where I got my tundra birds, including a ptarmigan which Lynn spotted (Lynn, email me if you want your list. I can't find your address). I dipped on the Gray Jay, so it looks as if I'll be taking a trip to Park county in the near future.
