Re: [cobirds] Boulder Cassins finches

[Preston Sowell]

Yep, I just counted over 75 Cassin’s finches around my house in Pine Brook 
Hills, Boulder! Never seen more thank 2 here. They’re all over the roads.
Crossbills feeding above them were a treat too!

[cobirds] More on Eastern Phoebe,Jefferson County

[Tina Jones]

I forgot to say, that I originally saw the Eastern Phoebe on the very north 
side of Johnson Reservoir next to the concrete trail, for a short bit and then 
it flew across the lake to the SE side, then I lost it. It was around 4pm when 
I saw the bird

[cobirds] Eastern Phoebe,near Clement Park, Jefferson County

[Tina Jones]

Today, 4/12, I went to Johnston Reservoir this afternoon for a very small bit. 
The Reservoir is next to, and south of the Barnes & Noble bookstore, at the SE. 
corner of the intersection of Bowles and S. Wadsworth. It was snowing fairly 
hard, when I saw a bird pumping it's tail down, continually pumping it's tail. 
The movement of the tail got my attention. This bird was sitting about 6 feet 
up in a Russian Olive tree and 6 feet up from Johnston lake. It was 2 branches 
away from a perched American Robin. The Phoebe had a notch at the tip of the 
tail, with gray/olive breast and sides. The top of the bird's head was a darker 
gray than the gray on the sides of the bird. The upper parts were grayish 
brown. The underparts were mostly white except for the breast and sides. The 
bird did not stop pumping it's tail. I never thought I would see an Eastern 
Phoebe at Johnson reservoir, nor was I looking for one.

I do not think this bird would be easy  to see again. It flew to the Southeast 
corner of the lake and then proceeded to keep flying when I lost it.

This location is in Jefferson County.

Happy Birding!
Littleton, CO, Jefferson County

We had 3 male and 5 female Cassin's at our feeder most of today.Our

Re: [cobirds] Phoebe Trifecta possible?

[Derek Hill]

Trifectas always make for a good day of birding. As for CO trifectas, 
mergansers and Haemorhous finches are also possibilities. Not sure how 
plovers would work since CO gets 7 species regularly. Another term might be 
"grand slam" if it's more than a trifecta, ie all 4 regularly occurring 
Catharus thrushes, 4 longspurs, etc. For the aforementioned teal trifecta, 
would it be the 3 Spatula teals (BWTE, CITE, NSHO) or the 3 birds with teal 
in the name (BWTE, CITE, and Green-wings, which are closer to a Mallard 
than a Spatula teal)? We are one of the better states for diverse Corvid 
grand slam - has anyone scored 10 CO Corvids in a day? Colorado also can 
boast our pretty solid grouse grand slam. Looks like B. Gibbons and M. 
O'Brien led last year's VENT CO Grouse Tour to victory with 7 of 8 native 
chickens over a few days. Who's had the Accipiter trifecta? I hope to some 
day.

Thank goodness the migrants aren't on lockdown,

[cobirds] Re: Phoebe Trifecta possible?

['Dan Stringer' via Colorado Birds]

I liked that thought-provoking post. Among the more unique days I've had, I 
was fortunate one spring day to see the three Phoebes in Canyon City, over 
a wide area with many stops. On another trip there I saw Rock, Canyon, and 
Bewick's Wrens at Tunnel Drive (no House Wren). John Breitsch and I once 
saw the six swallow species over Hasty Lake. The only other thing I can 
remember is on a dawn to late-afternoon visit to Chico Basin Ranch I saw 
the four falcon species. All of those were one-timers over a lot of years, 
it seems to me that the more often I hit the trail and the more different 
places I go, the higher my chances to are to eventually have an interesting 
accumulation of related species.

Re: [cobirds] Phoebe Trifecta possible?

['Peter Ruprecht' via Colorado Birds]

 If you were really lucky at, say, Pueblo Reservoir, you might be able to see 
six grebe species.  Which would be 20 Hat Tricks in one shot!  (I think that's 
right for "six choose three" but my last math class was a long time ago...)

Three loons or three doves would be reasonable to expect there too.

Re: [cobirds] Phoebe Trifecta possible?

[Steven Rash]

Teals would be another one. Plovers too, easier if you count Killdeer. 
Accipiter trifecta would be a hard one. Sage/brown/curve-billed thrasher should 
be doable at Chico Basin Ranch, I think grey-cheeked/swainsons/hermit/wood 
thrush have all occurred there at the same time as well. 
Cassins/eastern/western kingbird at The Rocky Mountain Arsenal is a definite 
possibility. I’d imagine it’s possible but really unlikely to get all three 
sapsuckers in one place. Might be able to get brewers/red-winged/rusty 
blackbird on a fall day at cherry creek. Fun to think about though.

Re: [cobirds] Phoebe Trifecta possible?

[Diana Beatty]

In Colorado Springs, there are a few places where I can pretty regularly
get a trifecta of jays - Blue, Steller's and Woodhouse's.  There are a
couple where Pinon and Gray are also not entirely out of the question
although a lot 'harder' but I haven't yet got all 5 species in one park.

[cobirds] Yard birds, Franktown, Douglas

['Hugh Kingery' via Colorado Birds]

 With today's snow came a Chipping Sparrow, our FOY, that feeds in the 
millet-strewn space below our feeders.
Over the past week, Urling & I have counted over 40 species here and on our 
walks along Willow Lake Drive. Notably:
Spotted towhees: after one or two during the winter, we now have at least 6 
singing males.Bushtits: They have started to come in on a regular basis -- 
usually groups of 2 or 3; a few times 7-9.Juncos: Winter brought us 20-30; now 
we have 10 or fewer, mostly Gray-headed.Turkey Vultures: Castlewood Canyon's 
population has returned and we see them regularly - up to a 
dozen.White-throated Swifts: Ditto about Castlewood; we hear and don't see 
them.Swallows: Tree but not any other species.Say's Phoebe: arrived this 
week.Bluebirds: a range of one or two to a dozen; both species.
Fox Squirrels: thriving.Bear: two weeks ago, at night, one plodded through the 
yard without stopping. He had previously visited a yard two houses to the 
north.Chorus Frogs: started peeping this week, including one in our vegetable 
garden - no water.

[cobirds] Phoebe Trifecta possible?

Seeing an Eastern Phoebe  this morning (Boulder Creek at 75th St.) got me 
thinking about Trifectas or Hat Tricks.  It is getting more likely each 
year that someone could see the Black, Eastern, and Say’s Phoebes all from 
the same spot.  There are several other Hat Tricks possible, at varying 
levels of difficulty.  I’m sure many of us have seen three Jay species 
together.  Swallows (several possible combinations).  Nuthatches (red, 
white, pygmy)?  Bluebirds (east, west, mountain)?  Rosy-finches? Wrens 
(house, rock, canyon)?   Longspurs???

[cobirds] COLORADO RARE BIRD REPORT for SUNDAY, APRIL 12, 2020

[Patrick O'Driscoll]

Compiler:  Patrick O’Driscoll, patodrisk AT gmail.com

The Colorado Rare Bird report is an informational service.

Because of statewide coronavirus “Stay at Home” orders,* the purpose of
this report is to keep homebound readers abreast of rare bird sightings
across the state during spring migration.*

*It does NOT endorse or encourage illegal travel to see or "chase" rare
birds beyond your own local area.*

We urge readers to respect state and local restrictions on non-critical
travel and limits on outdoor activities that include birding.

Please bird ONLY at or close to home and ONLY with universally promoted
safety precautions, including physical “social distancing” and face
coverings.

Or, as Dave Leatherman noted this week, “Be like a Cedar Waxwing . . . very
compliant in their wearing of masks.”



Birders have been helpful by reporting updates to COBirds. Thanks!

CAPITAL LETTERS denote very rare species, as listed by the Colorado Bird
Records Committee at the CFO website.

(*) indicates new information on a species.

For more information on birds seen today, go to cobirds.org and scroll to
the bottom for “Recent eBird Sightings.”

*Easter Sunday migration notes: *

Swallows, vultures, Broad-tailed Hummingbirds, phoebes and a few Swainson’s
Hawks are returning.

Burrowing Owls, too.

Sparrow and longspur migrations are also upon us.

Shorebirds (sandpipers, phalaropes, Dunlins, curlews) are showing.

And did somebody say “warblers”?

What’s in your yard or near your home?
