[cobirds] owl

2016-11-09 Thread Scott 

Hi All,

Last evening I received an e-mail about one of  my banded Northern 
Saw-whet Owls that I thought some of you may be interested in.


The owl was banded in Estes Park on 10/4/2012 and was recaptured and 
released in Bartonsville PA. on 11/8/2016. That bird moved over 1700 
miles in 4 years!


I have always said that Northern Saw-whet Owls are not migratory but 
rather wonder; and here is a little information to validate that.


Interesting huh?

[cobirds] Yesterday Park County

2016-11-09 Thread 'Steven Mlodinow' via Colorado Birds 
Greetings All
I spent the morning at Elevenmile and Spinney Mountain Reservoirs yesterday. 
Elevenmile had 9 Common Loons scattered throughout and a RED THROATED LOON at 
mid-reservoir. I saw the RTLO just as fog burning off. The bird called a couple 
times, swam into view, and a few minutes later took off, circled about gaining 
elevation and flew towards Spinney. There were 7 Surf Scoters, 6 at the far 
east end. A SHORT EARED OWL was flushed from tall grass at Hartsell Point (I 
think I got that location correct)

At Spinney, there was a RED PHALAROPE was by the dam, hanging out with coots at 
the muddy edge. A THAYERS GULL was on the mud near the entrance- a juvenile, 
likely the same bird at Elevenmile recently. 

Good Birding 
Steve
