[cobirds] Burrowing Owls Douglas County
At 5:30 this evening there was a Burrowing Owl just before the south entrance to Chatfield State Park (Douglas Co), in the prairie dog colony on the west side fairly close to the road. So, I turned around and drove the dirt part of Roxborough Park Rd S of Titan Road. Sure enough, a single Burrowing Owl in the west side prairie dog colony there. Burrowing Owls arriving in spring often seem to spend a night or two in a given location(s) before picking their neighborhood. It'd be nice to see one stay in Chatfield, dodging the flying objects from the nearby model airplane field.

Hi All, The Eastern Phoebe has another Eastern Phoebe with him as of yesterday. They spent a lot of time on the North bank side of the lower diversion dam fly catching from the rusted pipe fencing behind the northern most diversion.

[cobirds] Eastern Phoebe - Rocky Mtn. Arsenal
Hello Coloradans, I was visiting Colorado for work and managed to get a little birding in Rocky Mtn Arsenal yesterday (Tuesday, 4/5) before my morning meetings. A notable sighting was an eastern phoebe at the eastern end of Wildlife Dr., right over the canal. I was driving by when I heard the bird call so I stopped and located it, but couldn't pull the camera out on time to get a shot before it moved north into the woods. A pair of mountain bluebirds was in the same area. Also notable were the more than 50 ruddy ducks I counted at the south end of Lake Ladora and Lower Derby Res. My eBird records show I'd seen only 13 in the 6 years I lived in CO, so I was surprised by their numbers. Lesser scaup were also thick, followed by northern shoveler. Tree swallows checked out nesting boxes and chased each other (eBird flagged the report?). The eastern plains of Lincoln county were mostly devoid of birds. I stopped by Flagler Res. which remains almost entirely drained. A handful of green-winged teals and gadwalls were making use of the little water left. A yellow-shafted flicker remained isolated from a group of 5 red-shafted birds, and otherwise very quiet. A nice sighting was a nesting pair of Ferruginous hawks between Arriba and Genoa. Weather was very pleasant and the (good) beer variety you get in CO is hard to beat, so all in all, the trip was a success!
