[cobirds] Weld County Dump Gulls/Severance
Again this morning the Weld County Dump gulls were present on the dirt field basking in the brilliant morning sun at Weld CR 23 and 78 NE corner. I saw Ring-billed, California and Herring gulls. The gulls are very near edge of Weld CR 78 road. These photos are 20x optical zoom. It took 10 photos to get the entire flock at that zoom. See if you can ID more here, let me know: http://coloradobirder.ning.com/photo. Lower right of each photo is Click Full Size.

[cobirds] Barr Lake (Adams Co.) Oct 15
I made a quick stop by the ever-shrinking Barr Lake (Adams County) this morning. The highlight was a Red-necked Grebe, about 50 yards from the dam. Western Grebes, cormorants, pelicans, and gulls remain numerous. One of the ongoing Lesser Black-backed Gulls was present. The most numerous passerine this morning, other than European Starling, was American Pipit. The pipits were particularly numerous at the southwest end of the lake, in the company of some Long-billed Dowitchers, Killdeer, and Least Sandpipers.

[cobirds] Crow Valley CG (Weld) on 10/15
Very quiet today at Crow Valley Campground near Briggsdale (Weld) but many changes since last week and always beautiful this time of year (except for the fracking truck traffic noise). Wonder when the intersection at Highway 14 and CR77 will warrant a signal light? Highlights: FOS Sandhill Crane (flyover of about 25) FOS Northern Shrike (1i) in the northern outback FOS Lapland Longspur (1 flyover) Brown Creeper (1 or 2) Brown Thrasher (by the waterhole northeast of Group Area) Hairy Woodpecker (heard only, so don't know which race it was) Ruby-crowned Kinglet (1) Yellow-rumped Warbler (few) Townsend's Solitaire (few by the waterhole northeast of Group Area) No sparrows except for a few juncos, Song Sparrows, and White-crowned Sparrows No sapsuckers No Black-throated Blue Warbler or Wood Thrush (like I conjured in my head on the way out) Lots of Redshank Grasshopper nymphs Many buckthorn triozid adults (last week they were all nymphs) Still a few butterflies around (Checkered White, Mourning Cloak, Variegated Fritillary) Underwing moth (Catocala sp.) Striped Meadowhawks Catface Spider Undetermined sp. of black tiger moth caterpillars (which will overwinter as larvae and be part of the fare of the earliest migrant Mountain Bluebirds on the prairie next Feb-March) Saw Northern Harrier catch a plump vole (Microtus sp.) Total of 26 bird species (24 in the CG and 2 additional in Briggsdale) Dave Leatherman Fort Collins -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

Greetings all Passerine numbers were low in NE corner of CO today but Nick and I did manage to squeeze out a few birds The headliner was clearly an EASTERN MARSH WREN along the s edge of Stalker Lake before you get to the marsh. It sang and then called persistently allowing for some decent photos. We also had 10 WT Sparrows and a Harris's Sparrow at Stalker. There were 3 Field Sparrows at the Fish Hatchery In Sedgwick County at Jumbo Res there was a PACIFIC LOON, a Lesser Black-backed Gull and - at the campground- another WT Sparrow.
