[cobirds] Mile High Stadium and the storm

[Karl Stecher Jr.]

I have been watching birds from Mile High Stadium since 1973.  Yesterday, 
added a few to my list.
 Entering the stadium I saw 4 pigeons.  Not auspicious.
 My daughter and three grandchildren sat in the west stands on the 50 yard 
line.  This made any viewing to the west impossible.
 No birds.
 Late in the game, a "biting" north wind came through (at 50 degrees?)  
Just in front of a new small bank of clouds...two circling red tailed 
hawks, then two ravens, two Cooper's hawks, then a kestrel .  Then clouds 
and tiny raindrops of what I believe had been melted snow.

Check out 
https://cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parks/CherryCreek/Documents/CherryCreekAreaBrochure.pdf
 
.   Pelican Point is on the east side.  There will be a sign as you drive 
around the body of water.  Don't do what I do and mistake Pelican Bay for 
Pelican Point.  They are on opposite sides.

[cobirds] Brown Thrasher, central Bldr Cnty (dry plains)

[Linda Andes-Georges]

Second time in 16 years: energetic bird foraging like a flicker for what looks 
like tiny grubs in pine duff. I got very excited, thinking I could increase by 
one our cumulative yardlist, but I had forgotten: a thrasher visited the yard 
in 2008. So the list stays at 122.

The yard is full of hungry birds this morning, including altitude migrants 
(Scrub Jay, Steller's Jay, White-crowned Sparrows, Townsend's Solitaire, 
Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Wilson's Warbler).

Yesterday at dusk, right after I remarked that I hadn't seen a hummingibrd for 
3 days, a tiny young Broad-tailed hummer appeared on one feeder, and spent 10 
shivery minutes stoking up for the night, one sip at a time. I haven't seen it 
today, but hope it survived and headed further south. I plan, as recommended, 
to keep the feeders out for a week after the last sighting.

[cobirds] Raptor Kettle/Weld

['The "Nunn Guy"' via Colorado Birds]

Hi all

Someone mentioned kettle previously, a fun thing yesterday was a kettle of 
raptors, at least 27 or so, high above our house. We could pick out 
multiple Bald Eagles (various ages, 3-4), Golden Eagles (at least two 
adults), Swainson's Hawks (6) Red-tailed Hawks (5 or so), Turkey Vultures 
(4), Ferruginous Hawks (2) and some unidentified ones. We just happened to 
be looking up at the right time ...

Just saw it. Still along the willow edges, skulking in short brush. Best views 
you'll need to wade across shallow water.

Thanks to all who replied. Several of us were finally able to see the
beautiful bird after much waiting.

[cobirds] Mute Swan/Weld

['The "Nunn Guy"' via Colorado Birds]

Hi all

Saw Dick Maxwell eBird report on swans he saw in NW Greeley on Saturday. 

Sunday, I had three "wild" :-) Mute Swan along F Street west of 35th Avenue 
yesterday. Traveling west on F Street from 35th Ave, drive by Osprey nest 
and you'll see small parking area on south just past the housing area. 
First gravel pit is there on north--one Mute Swan there. Go farther west 
and you'll see second and third ponds on north. The Mute Swan pair was in 
second pond yesterday. Generally, I see the pair in the third pond. The 
single swan I have seen in various ponds around Greeley-including the small 
gravel pit on north side (of road) of Linn Grove Cemetery (where the two 
domestic Mute Swans live (clipped wings) in small pond).
