[cobirds] Re: Jaegers Chatfield SP
Refound all 3 jaegers today at 7:00 pm. Watched them for about 15 minutes from the North Boat Launch area. When first found, two were in water together with the third somewhat nearby and were later seen all flying together for quite some time.

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Barr Lake Station, 9/12/18
This is the first time I can remember when hot temperatures did not seem to have much impact on bird numbers - even with an early close of many nets (those most in the sun) we managed to catch 65 new birds. Wilson's Warblers, not surprisingly, continue to dominate: Downy Woodpecker 2 Western Wood-pewee 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Orange-crowned Warbler 4 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 4 Townsend's Warbler 1 Common Yellowthroat 2 Wilson's Warbler 43 Western Tanager 1 Spotted Towhee 1 (FOS, and a very young bird) Chipping Sparrow 3 Song Sparrow 1 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 We are open 6 days a week (closed Monday), weather permitting through October 14. We are opening nets at 6:30 and should have birds back at the station by 7:15. We will close most days by about 11:30, earlier this week because of the heat. School groups arrive most weekdays at about 9:30. The best time to visit (fewest people, most birds) is before 9:30 weekdays and Sundays. Come visit!

Re: [cobirds] Kinney Trail in Golden
JoAnn, The eBird hotspot named "Kinney Run Trail" is indeed an important birding area in Golden, with 96 species of birds seen there in the past few years, since records have been kept. This represents a great many sightings of individual birds and is a reflection of the rich avifauna of the area. To close this to pedestrian traffic would be a shame from that point of view. However, safety first and if the hikers and birders are in danger from speeding mountain bikes, it might be reasonable. The other solution would be to close it to cyclists! I would encourage birders to try this trail and submit checklists to eBird before it's too late. Please let me know if I can help in any way. Gerald Baines has been the most active birder there and knows the area well. Thanks for your interest, JoAnn, on behalf of Evergreen Audubon.

[cobirds] Chatfield Jaeger behavior
Thanks to the heads up from Myron Gerhard's sighting on Sept 8th, I had the opportunity to get pics from the water on Sept 9th of the three juvenile Jaegers. See pics in my ebird report below. I was surprised to see the Parasitic and Long-tailed Jaegers hanging out together in such close proximity for such an extended time. They appeared quite comfortable and unperturbed by each others presence. Their behavior was more typical of a family unit than separate species! I'm wondering if anyone with more experience can elucidate on the group behavior of these two bird species and whether this is typical or unusual. Thanks!

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report Chico Basin Ranch - 9/12/18
I had to close nets a little early today because of high winds, so I caught a few less birds than usual. I banded 37 birds of 8 species, including the season's first Golden-crowned Kinglet, which is not a very common capture at the station. I also had 2 recaptured birds, a Brown Thrasher and a Spotted Towhee. Here is the summary of newly banded birds for the day: Wilson's Warbler: 23 Ruby-crowned Kinglet: 3 Orange-crowned Warbler: 4 Golden-crowned Kinglet: 1 Chipping Sparrow: 1 Lincoln's Sparrow: 1 Gray Catbird: 2 Brown Thrasher: 2 You are welcome to visit the banding station. I'll be banding through the first week of October and nets will be open 6 days a week (Monday through Saturday). This week I am opening nets at 6:40 and banding until 11:40, weather permitting.
