[cobirds] Red-eyed Vireo - Barr Lake - Adams County
After a long morning of birding Weld County my wife and I decided to visit Barr Lake to see the Barn Owls, (we did), on our way back to the visitor Center we happened upon a small group of birders looking at a Vireo in the trees by the shore, looked with them and found a foraging Red-eyed Vireo about 30 feet above the path. nice look at the stripe on his face and then he turned into the sunlight and there it was a definite red -eye.

[cobirds] Bobolink west of Walden, Jackson
Late afternoon a singing Bobolink gave several nice looks just west of Walden. The bird was on a fence along the dirt road that heads north beside the caboose west of town. It was roughly 1/4 mile from the highway. Chuck Hundertmark Lafayette Co Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 5/21/16
Today seemed to mark the beginning of real activity among Yellow Warblers - We banded 6 new, caught 3 from prior years, caught another 6 banded earlier this season. In several instances, we caught a male and female side by side in the net. Our "best bird" of the day was a female American Redstart, a species that we believe breeds at Chatfield but we rarely catch. Here's the breakdown on the 22 new and 3 returns: House Wren 3 Swainson's Thrush 1 Gray Catbird 3 Yellow Warbler 6 new, 3 returns (2 banded 2015, 1 in 2014) American Redstart 1 Common Yellowthroat 3 Wilson's Warbler 1 Yellow-breasted Chat 2 Spotted Towhee 1 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 Open daily, weather permitting, through June 2, EXCEPT for May 30. It is almost always better to visit early in the morning. We are opening nets at 6:30, and most days will have birds back at the station by 7:15. There are school groups every weekday, arriving about 9:45. We aim to close by noon most days, earlier if it is very hot, very cold, or very windy.

Re: [cobirds] White-eyed Vireo Arap Cty Continues
I heard the vireo around 11:45, while walking my dog at deKoevend. There was also an Olive-sided Flycatcher, a Western Wood-Pewee, and a Western Kingbird farther northwest on the trail. While watching the vireo, it went silent while two boys adventured off trail, near the canal. I hung around for fifteen minutes after they left and didn't hear the bird. The vireo has hung around the same 20 or so yards along the canal for several days now, even as the town has mowed the grass between the trail and canal -- and despite the regular activity at the park. So hopefully it hasn't been scared off. If you go looking for the bird this afternoon or evening, it'd be great to know if it is still around. - Jared Del Rosso Centennial, CO On Saturday, May 21, 2016 at 11:54:55 AM UTC-6, Jack Bushong wrote: > > Hi all, > The vireo was seen about 1/4 of a mile down the Highlight canal trail on > the west side, occasionally singing. > > > Good Birding, > Jack Bushong, > Louisville, CO > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] White-eyed Vireo Arap Cty Continues
Cobirders, The vireo is currently along the creek that flows through the park. The most expeditious way to see the bird is to park at the Littleton ice rink. Cross the footbridge to the park and take an immediate left along the highlight canal trail heading north. Proceed approximately 1K to where there is an orange fence along the trail. Make a 90° turn down the hill to the creek and that is where the bird was a few minutes ago. It is singing sporadically.
