Re: [cobirds] Fork-tailed Flycatcher Parking Directions?

[Joe Roller]

I suggest starting off at Carbonate Lane, as the "oil tank" area or anywhere
near there, has become unavailable to the public. It's possible one could
see taht bird
close to the oil tanks FROM the Carbonate Lane site.

Re: [cobirds] Fork-tailed Flycatcher Parking Directions?

[Richard Trinkner]

The Fork-tailed is still present north of Prince Lake at 4:40. It's
returning to a small bare Russian Olive tree just east of piled hay bales
west of oil tanks, about 100 yards north of the lake. Parking is available
on the shoulder of 111th by Prince Lake. Currently, you can walk along a
dirt construction path to the tanks from 111th.

Note that we just heard from the police that they might not allow entrance
to the storage tank area tomorrow due to construction.

Re: [cobirds] Fork-tailed Flycatcher Parking Directions?

[Maureen Blackford]

I parked along the road that borders the lake.   Then walked north to 111 Dr, 
which is a road under construction.  On this dirt road, you can walk west to 
the oil tanks.   Look for it on the cattle coral, or in dead trees over an 
olive tree and stack of hay bales.  
Some people parked just north of the street cones on 111 Dr 

Good luck

Re: [cobirds] Re: Fork-tailed Flycatcher Parking Directions?

[Matt]

5pm tonight as the bird still being seen near gas tanks. Great views by many. 

Tomorrow (Tuesday),  word is the constitution site will be off limits per the 
Sherrif at the site. They will be active with construction on the length of 
road birders are walking in on. Good luck to all birders tomorrow. Don’t know 
if one can walk in from the west. Maybe with landowner permissions?

[cobirds] FYI: Prince Lake status, multiple complaints

[Michelle Durant]

I am posting in response to the elevated birding activity and subsequent 
complaints at Prince Lake.

Boulder County Rangers have received multiple complaints about continued 
trespassing issues today.  The agriculture tenants have not given 
permission to access closed agriculture property to observe birds.  At this 
point, deputies will be issuing citations as necessary.  Additional signage 
has been posted, so there should not be confusion about where one shouldn't 
be.

In addition, people are walking through an active construction zone which 
is slated for heightened activity tomorrow.  The patient site foreman is 
concerned about liability and would prefer people not walk through that 
area. 

If you're heading that way, it's a wonderful opportunity for birders to 
showcase their values and ethical observation practices.

Anywhere on the South or East side of the little pond that is Prince Lake.  
Walk to the construction entrance, promise the gatekeeper that you'll stay 
out of the way of the equipment, and walk 50 yards to the old tanks.  Bird 
was seen constantly/repeatedly between 2ish and 3ish, seen by many 
birders.  We did hear after we left that the bird also left, and headed 
towards its second recent hangout on Carbonate Lane.  I haven't been there, 
so perhaps someone else can chime in on parking there.

Bird still being viewed by a few of us behind oil tanks just north of Prince 
Lake #2. We're standing meters northwest of the tanks and looking at it a bit 
to the west and northwest. We had to walk along 111th street (being constructed 
with bulldozers and all).

Updated information on viewing at Prince Lake #2.

The Eddy property and Prince Lake #2 where the stilt sandpiper has been 
observed is owned and managed by Boulder County Parks and Open Space. This 
area is designated as a closed agricultural property and public access is 
prohibited. Please respect the closure and observe the sandpipers from 
outside of the fenced area. Rangers will be patrolling the area 
periodically and will enforce the closure.

[cobirds] Harris’s sparrows, Boulder Co.

[Paula Hansley]

 Many people came yesterday afternoon, and all saw one first winter Harris ‘s 
sparrow and one juv white-crowned sparrow. 

BUT thanks to Linda Lee, who found where the Harris’s sparrows liked to rest 
between feeding forays: two could be seen sitting side by side at eye level in 
a spruce tree while one bird fed on the ground. One bird was puffed up 
reclining against the tree!

I’ll post if I see the Harris’s sparrows today.
