[cobirds] Hooded Warbler--Main Reservoir/Jeffco

[markchavez]

Sorry for the late report(moving mom's furniture)!!  Yesterday, I found a 
Hooded Warbler at Main Reservoir in Lakewood around 11am.  I was able to get 
Glen Walbek on the bird before it disappeared.  Today, I got a report from Art 
Hudak and David Starbuck that the bird has been re-found.  This very skulky 
bird is being seen on the west side of the lake.  Photos of the bird can be 
seen below:

[cobirds] 2 Spots opened, Dave Leatherman, "A Visit to the Butcher's Shop"

[Pam Piombino]

This very special outing in our, "Interludes with Nature",  is brought to
you by Boulder County Audubon.  Proceeds from these trips support our Teen
Naturalist Scholarship Fund.  This year's awardees include J.C. Chandler,
Luke Pheneger and Topi Martinez.


*A Visit To The Butcher’s Shop*

*David Leatherman*



*Date:  Saturday, May 27, 2017*

*2SPOTS LEFT:  Limited to 10 people in 3 cars*

*Donation:  $60 per person*



Butcher’s Shop?  Be prepared to enter the fascinating and often macabre
world of the Loggerhead Shrike. This plains denizen, is also known as the,
“butcher bird” for its habit of impaling prey on twigs, barbed wire or
thorns.  Indeed anything sharp enough will suffice because although this
species has a classic raptorial bill, it lacks grasping talons to secure
its prey.



Dave, a retired Colorado Forest Service entomologist, is a superb observer
and another great all-round naturalist in our Interludes series.  He has
found shrike territories in Weld and Larimer Counties that will simply
amaze you with the variety of insects, reptiles and mammals with which
these Shrike have stocked their larders.  You might find beetles,
grassphoppers, lizards and birds which have all fallen victim to this
predacious species.  Learn of their natural history and enjoy a day on the
prairie with an expert.  Read more in Dave’s column, *The Hungry Bird* in
the Colorado Field Ornithologist’s Quarterly, Vol. 49, No.4, Fall 2015,
available on line.



BCAS will provide a gourmet lunch.  Bring water, cameras and a sense of
awe.

Re: [cobirds] Hooded Warbler--Main Reservoir/Jeffco

[Scott Somershoe]

The hooded is very skulky, but it is singing fairly regularly about 100m
west from the parking lot in a big thicket on the outside of the path from
the lake.  He's singing what is their second song that can be translated
to, "I wanna rent a video" rather than the primary song of "tawee tawee
tawee-teeoo".  In my years in the east with hooded's, the second song is by
far the most commonly sung song, at least from Tennessee south thru GA, AL,
MS, and LA.  It stuck out to me anyway.  He popped up a few times after
being patient. I think everyone there managed to get at least brief looks.

[cobirds] Re: Phalarope at Walden ponds

[Jeff Parks]

Sorry for the poor punctuation/spelling, I have a hard time seeing small 
text on my phone.

When I arrived mid-afternoon, there were a bunch of Red-Necked Phalarope (I 
counted 20) working the shallows in Cottonwood Marsh, along with a few 
other wading birds.  Along with a half-dozen Avocet, there was a mystery 
bird (to me, anyway) that was keeping mostly to itself, wading in the 
shallows close to the boardwalk.  I watched it for awhile, then went for a 
walkabout through the rest of Walden/Sawhill. When I got back to the 
boardwalk, I encountered Megan Jones, who was kind enough to point out a 
couple of Long-Billed Dowitchers, a few Wilson's Pharalope and a couple of 
other wading birds that we thought might be Semipalmated Sandpipers at 
first, except one looked way too white for a SESA.  After I got home and 
read through postings from other birders at Walden during the afternoon, I 
realized that they were Sanderling, a juvenile and an adult in breeding 
colors.  Life bird for me ...

OK, back to the mystery bird.  It looked like a Phalarope, but it wasn't 
matching up with the information in my Sibley field guide, the smaller one 
that fits in my pocket.  Megan's best guess was that it was a Wilson's 
Phalarope, but the clinker was that it had black legs, which were not shown 
in Sibley.  Of course, that is spot on for a male WIPH, as I found out when 
I consulted my larger Sibley's guide at home.  On the bright side, I now 
know what a male WIPH looks like, and I saw another one at Sombrero Marsh 
this morning, ID'ing it without hesitation.  I included a picture of this 
bird above.

Back to the Red-Necked Phalarope.  It sounds like there were a bunch of 
them in the area over the last couple of days, as Matt Hofeditz spotted 
around 100 of them in Broomfield County yesterday, and undoubtedly other 
people saw small flocks of them in other places as well.  eBird is having a 
hard time accepting these numbers, but I am sure they will come around 
eventually.  A picture showing 11 of them is included.

Looking at the reports from Walden Ponds this morning, nobody is reporting 
any Phalaropes today, so they must be on the move again.  I guess yesterday 
was a good day to get out, at least for these birds.

Good birding --

Re: [cobirds] Hooded Warbler--Main Reservoir/Jeffco

[Karl Stecher Jr.]

In Maryland/Pennsylvania/Virginia the song is chip-chip-chip-chee-bomp, 
abruptly ending, the first three notes short, deliberate, evenly spaced, 
and chip-sounding, the chee slightly higher than the first three but still 
short, the bomp slightly lower.
  
 I once, while in high school, picked up a dazed hooded warbler that had 
struck a glass window, held it as it recovered, and watched it fly away 
looking OK.
  
 I don't have time to see this bird, but hope many do.  I would also like 
to in person hear that song.  I've seen them in south Texas in spring 
migration, but don't recall any song.

[cobirds] Red-necked Phalaropes Continue - Squirrel Creek Reservoir El Paso County

[Diana Beatty]

I stopped by Squirrel Creek Reservoir east of Fountain this afternoon to
see if the Red-necked Phalaropes were still around - they are, and there
are many - I counted about 22 - several come close to the road for decent
binocular viewing.  I didn't stay long, but I also saw Eared Grebe, Western
Grebes, Northern Shovelers, Ruddy Ducks, Canada Geese, Mallards, Cliff
Swallows, Bank Swallows, Great-tailed Grackle, Red-winged Blackbirds,
Eastern Kingbird and a few other species I'm probably forgetting.

[cobirds] Lamar Community College (Prowers Co) CO 20May2017

[Janeal Thompson]

Despite winds, barking dogs, sirens and music from festivities at the park,
I saw/heard a total of 27 species during my late morning visit to LCC,
today.   Of most interest were:  1 juvenile *Broad-winged Hawk *being
harassed by Western Kingbirds; 3 *Northern Cardinals* all in different
parts of the woods, and 11 Brown-headed Cowbirds patiently waiting for some
unsuspecting nesting female to leave just long enough

I also saw 4 Yellow Warblers, 2 Wood Ducks, 1 Blue Grosbeak, a Western
Wood-Pewee, and all three doves, Eurasian, Mourning and White-winged.  (The
White-winged is something I don't see at LCC very often.)  Was hoping to
see/hear a late warbler, a Yellow-billed Cuckoo or find a vireo, but no
such luck.

At my home in the Willow Valley subdivision, I have both male and female
Black-chinned Hummingbirds and a singing Yellow Warbler.  Thank you.

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 5/20/17

[Meredith . McBurney]

We opened late to give the sun a little time to dry things out, then in 3 
hours had our busiest day of the season, banding 40 birds of a whopping 20 
species.  Birds of the day were SWALLOWS - Violet-greens and Rough-wings. 
 Their insects were down low today!  Here's the breakdown:

Western Wood-pewee 2
Dusky Flycatcher 2
Warbling Vireo 1
Violet-green Swallow 6
Northern Rough-winged Swallow 3
House Wren 1
Swainson's Thrush 3
Hermit Thrush 1
Gray Catbird 3
Virginia's Warbler 2
Yellow Warbler 2
Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 2
Wilson's Warbler 1
Yellow-breasted Chat 1
Western Tanager 1
Green-tailed Towhee (FOS) 1
Song Sparrow 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 4
Black-headed Grosbeak (FOS) 1
American Goldfinch 2

The banding station runs daily, weather permitting, through June 1 (except 
Memorial Day), from 7:00 to approximately 11:30. There have been some 
changes in WEEKEND visiting policies - If you are planning a weekend visit, 
go to Denveraudubon.org and PRE-REGISTER. We have been very busy through 
this weekend but I understand there are plenty of openings for next 
weekend, the last of the season, so if you've been waiting now is the time! 
Weekdays are the same as in the past - school groups arrive between 9:30 
and 10; early weekday mornings are the best time for a peaceful visit with 
us and the birds!

[cobirds] Nashville Warbler, Louisville

[Jack Bushong]

Hi all,
Today I had a Nashville Warbler among others in a row of deciduous trees in 
the northern corner of Walnut Open Space, Louisville, CO. 
Link to list: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S37017085
Yesterday there was a good deal of accommodating swallows perched on dried 
plant stalks surrounding a flooded section of Warembourg, including 
Violet-green and Northern Rough-winged. 
Good Birding,
Jack Bushong, 
Louisville, CO
