[cobirds] Mourning Warbler, Lamar Community College Woods (Prowers County)
This morning at about 8:30 we ran into Dotti Russell in the woods behind Lamar Community College, where she said that she thought she had seen A Mourning Warbler near the north end. Dotti was right! The bird was nearer to the north end, mostly skulking around in the wet scrubby undergrowth. Jane Stulp, Dan and I were all able to get diagnostic views of the bird, but full views were to scarce to come by, and photos couldn't be obtained. The bird spent most of its' time associating with a loose flock that included Yellow Warblers and Common Yellowthroats. Thanks, Dotti! The Great Crested Flycatcher previously reported by Brandon Percival et. al. was whooping it up in the south end of the woods, calling and eating slow moving bugs in the snow dusted environs. In the afternoon at the Meredith Feedlot ponds (Crowley county), 4 Dunlins in breeding plumage were present, as well as Stilt Sandpipers, Red-necked Phalaropes, and a few other expected migratory shorebirds, as well as a handful of Franklin's Gulls.

[cobirds] Tree swallow behavior
I have had two male tree swallows at my best box for about three weeks now. Initially I thought they may be waiting for females to return, but they have started building a nest.

[cobirds] RMBO Chatfield Banding, 5/11/15
It was nice to have the sun out! Lots of water - big puddles on the trail out to the river area, and the net down by the Water Board's fishing pond had to be removed because the lake has expanded. Spent lots of time clipping back branches that had bent over into net lanes. Still not catching a lot of birds - it was pretty cold early, then we had a little burst of activity, then quiet. Banded 9, plus caught 2 Yellow Warblers banded in previous years: Dusky Flycatcher 2 (FOS) Orange-crowned Warbler 3 Yellow Warbler 2, 1 banded in 2012 and 1 in 2013 Yellow-breasted Chat 1 Green-tailed Towhee 1 Spotted Towhee 1 Mountain White-crowned Sparrow 1 We will be open every day, weather permitting, for the balance of May! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

Hi, Cobirders. Like others we are experiencing a lot of activity in our yard today. This morning we had Black-headed Grosbeak. This afternoon we have two Lazuli Buntings, a White-crowned Sparrow, a Chipping Sparrow, and a Green-tailed Towhee. Add that to our resident WW Doves and a record number of American Goldfinches, it is getting to be a great spring.

[cobirds] Citizens Science Project – Mourning Warbler Song Mapper
Citizens Science Project – Mourning Warbler Song Mapper I am posting an opportunity to participate in a Citizens Science Project that involves recording migrating Mourning Warbler songs. I am trying to determine the nature of migratory pathways taken by different populations of Mourning Warbler males during their spring migration using the signatures of their songs. The pattern of geographic variation in song on the breeding range is well known. However, we do not know how members of these different song populations migrate towards their respective breeding areas. I plan on collecting your recordings and plotting them on a map of North America to determine where birds with different song types (regiolects) separate from each other during spring migration. All you need is a Smartphone and a singing Mourning Warbler. You can send the recordings to my e-mail address (jpito...@anselm.edu). The web page link below describes the project and how to make recordings on your Smartphone in more detail. http://www.anselm.edu/homepage/jpitocch/ornithology/MOWAmapper/MOWASongmapper.html I would really appreciate your help and contributions to this Citizens Science Project.

[cobirds] Green-tailed Towhee JeffCo 3rd Day
Hey guys! Hope everyone is drying out and getting some much needed sunshine! I have had one Green-tailed Towhee under my feeders since Saturday. Skiddish guy but I've gotten some great pics. I've also had another White-crowned Sparrow join his buddy from Friday making a total of two WCSP. Wonder if and when they'll ever migrate or if I get to enjoy them all summer. I have many House Finches and as of yesterday have two fledglings following mom and dad around but not attempting to feed from my thistle sock. My Broad-tailed Hummingbirds have also ramped up quite a bit with 2 males guarding the feeder from their respective posts. I did have a juvenile male Black-headed Grosbeak fly in early Sunday morning but haven't seen him since. Have a great week everybirdy! ;-) Jennifer Hallam Ken Caryl, CO Jefferson County -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Pueblo & El Paso counties, May 9-10
Hello, Birders. Lots of great birds were found during the inaugural Pikes Peak Birding & Nature Festival, held this past Friday-Sunday, May 8-10. And extraordinary weather; at one point on Saturday, Colorado Springs was simultaneously under five different National Weather Service warnings! I was on the Saturday, May 9 field trip to Pueblo County, and the Sunday, May 10 field trip to Fountain Creek Regional Park. Highlights: Rock Canyon, below Pueblo Reservoir, Pueblo County, May 9. *red-headed woodpecker; gray flycatcher; black-and-white warbler.* Pueblo City Park, Pueblo County, May 9. 2 *green herons.* Fountain Creek Regional Park, El Paso County, May 10. 12 species of warblers, including *northern waterthrush, Tennessee warbler, black-throated blue warbler,* and *palm warbler; broad-winged hawk* and *peregrine falcon; least flycatcher* and gray flycatcher; *eastern bluebird;* and *rose-breasted grosbeak.* On the drive back to Boulder County Sunday afternoon, I stopped by Sondermann Park, El Paso County, where Allan Burns and I saw a broad-winged hawk and 2 gray flycatchers. Oh, and I heard a northern waterthrush this sunny (what! sun? what's that?)

[cobirds] Broad-winged Hawks, Loveland, Larimer
Hi All, Have had Broad-winged Hawks now and then for several years overhead here. However, yesterday around 1 p.m. had 2 soaring above (not going from point A to point B).They both are dark morph adults. Today had 2 soaring above and one that looked like a juvenile (maybe 1st year) perched in a tree near the wetlands back of my house underneath the soaring adults at 8:30 a.m. This may not be of interest, but after reading my CO Breeding Bird Atlas it looks like they haven't been confirmed as breeding here of late. So I'm posting in case it is of interest. They can probably best be seen around Marker No. 3 on the Loveland Big Thompson River trail, west of Taft. The underpass under Taft is closed due to high water. If further info. is needed, feel free to call 970-635-9095.

[cobirds] Barn Owls
Hi all, We are looking for buildings to place Barn Owl nest boxes on. At the moment we (members of CARRI). The Colorado Avian Research and Rehabilitation Institute in Estes Park, have placed 10 nest boxes for Barn Owls, with great success. We have 6 of the 10 boxes occupied with families of Barn Owls At this time we would like the boxes to be placed between Longmont and Fort Collins, just so we can have CARRI volunteers check them with out having to travel too far. As this project grows we will, hopefully have nest boxes all over the state. At this time, we have two boxes that need to be placed. You may think that this is a bit late for Barn Owls to nest, but it is not. Last year we had two families raise young starting in June. If you look at the CARRI webiste www.carriep.org/our-research/ and scroll down to the Barn Owl photos, you will see photos of the type of habitat that Barn Owls are using in Northern Colorado. We are also interested in areas that would have WiFi access so we can place live cameras on the nest boxes. If you have questions or think you know of areas where the nest boxes could be placed, e-mail me.
