[cobirds] Durango, end of month?

[Gary Brower]

Good morning, COBirders,

Dear spouse and I will be in Durango at the end of the month (staying a bit 
north of town, near Hermosa). I’ve looked at the eBird data, but I’m wondering 
if locals can suggest one of the “hot-spots” over another? We can easily travel 
down-town, or further up into the mountains. 

Thanks so much!

[cobirds] eBird question

[Gary Brower]

Good morning!

I have an eBird question, the answer to which I can’t find on their website.

Is it possible to aggregated hotspots for a report.  In other words, there are 
multiple hotspots associated with Cherry Creek State Park (including the park 
itself being a hotspot). Is it possible to select ALL of those hotspots to 
generate a listing, rather than going through each one separately?

Thanks!

Gary:
I believe the closest one can come to preparing a composite listing/"report" 
you describe is via the bar chart option under "Explore"
This option allows you to derive a bar chart from the following subregions:  
the entire state, up to 15 counties, several hotspots, selected important bird 
areas, or "my locations".
The resulting bar chart will allow you to pull up a map of each species within 
the geographic region covered by the subregion(s) you have selected.
Bar charts are extremely useful when visiting a state or county you are 
unfamiliar with. They provide a good overview of the species likely to occur, 
when they are apt to be present, and where the past and current sightings have 
been.
They would be even more useful if they showed which species have been reported 
recently but to ascertain current sightings you must click on the species map 
symbol in the chart.

Good luck

Thanks, Doug!

Another birder privately emailed me with the same info!

Love this resource (COBirds!).

Good birding!

Re: [cobirds] Durango, end of month?

[Joe Roller]

Gary,
On the CFO website, click on "County Birding" or just use keywords "
Colorado County birding'.
That takes you to a map of CO counties. lLick on the county you will visit
and the best hotspots
are listed and described. Little used and more "minor" hotspots don't
appear on the list.

You can also check the eBird hotspot map and zoom in and find the hotspots
with the highest use,
indicated by the color of the teardrop maker.

[cobirds] Large Black-billed Magpie flock, Dakota Ridge, Boulder, CO 7/18

[Thomas Heinrich]

As I was stepping out just a few minutes ago to refill the hummingbird feeders, 
I noticed a huge flock of BB magpies circling and congregating along the Dakota 
Ridge below Mt Sanitas.   Numbers were likely in the 150 range, similar to the 
flock of 174 I counted last year around this time, but not as conveniently 
organized for counting.  One photo I took captured 103 individuals.   Has 
anyone else seen similar flocks in Colorado recently?
Definitely an impressive sight!

Thanks to all who made fabulous suggestions regarding Durango!

I admit, I’ keep forgetting about the County Birding website.

WE keep (re-)learning!
