[cobirds] Vigorous GHO duet, suburban Jeffco

[dgulb...@gmail.com]

2 AM to 2:30, a continual duet.  Have heard Great Horned Owls
several times lately. The abundance of rabbits in the last few years has
brought them back.  Last night the vigorous duet called to 
mind a fugue.  The second caller began after just a few
notes of the male, and her notes were much higher in pitch,
with a last note that rose rather than fell.  In previous years (43) here,
I don't recall hearing a duet except during Jan-March.

[cobirds] Final weekend for CFO Shorebird Field Trips -- a few spots are still left!

[Peter Burke]

COBirders,
CFO has led 15 trips to shorebird hotspots across the state this fall, and
the birding has been great. Several trips have reported 20+ shorebird
species including some rarities like Red Knot and Buff-breasted Sandpiper
plus other exciting finds such as Long-tailed Jaeger, Cassin's Vireo and
Peregrine Falcon.

September 11 and 12 is the final weekend and we have seven additional trips
fanning out to places like Barr Lake, Walden Reservoir, Prewitt Reservoir
and even locations in Montezuma County! If you've been meaning to register
for one or more trips, now is the time to reserve your spot. Each trip is
limited to just 10 birders and costs just $10 for CFO members, $25 for
nonmembers.

For more information and to register, visit the CFO website
.

Good birding,

Peter Burke
CFO Board of Directors

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of The Rockies Chico Basin Ranch Banding update 9/8

[Nancy Ransom]

Today was a very peaceful day compared to the 91 captures we had yesterday. 
Some cedar waxwings flocked over the station which was a pleasant surprise 
as well. The last round brought with it a very molty Black-billed Cuckoo, 
which was super cool! Thank you to John and Virginia Maynard that came out 
to see the banding process and helped me on my net runs! It was 
appreciated. 

Chico captures for 9/8:
Wilson's Warbler 12
Orange-crowned Warbler 7
Hammond's Flycatcher 1
Plumbeous Vireo 1
Dusky Flycatcher 1 
Western Wood-pewee 2
House Wren 2
Chipping Sparrow 2
Lincoln's Sparrow 6
Hermit Thrush 1
Swainson's Thrush 1
Yellow-breasted Chat 1
Western Tanager 1
Gray Catbird 4 
Black-billed Cuckoo 1 
Black-chinned Hummingbird 

We are open 6 days a week at Chico Basin Ranch (closed Sunday), usually 
returning from the first net run around 7am and staying open until about 
11:30am, weather permitting. Thank you for your continued support!

[cobirds] Apparent Connecticut Warbler, Douglas County

[mitchellba...@gmail.com]

Tom Williams reported a Mourning Warbler in his backyard in Douglas County 
this afternoon. Based on the photos, it appears to me to be a 1st winter 
Connecticut Warbler. Does anyone know Tom and would they be able to find 
out if he is open to visitors? Checklist below.

[Scott Somershoe]

It is a Connecticut!  As one of the local eBird reviewers, I've sent an
email about access and whether it's continuing (the comments suggested
maybe not, but not sure).  That'd be a SWEET green big year bird
too(while he stretches and plots for a possible ride in the morning,
haha!).

Re: [cobirds] Apparent Connecticut Warbler, Douglas County

[Scott Somershoe]

The bird was there for 10 min and moved out with a loose flock of chickadees. 
It wasn't seen again. Sweetwater park is nearby and worth a check. Tom won’t be 
home tomorrow morning so looking at the residence is not an option. Seems like 
working the park and local bike path is a good option to try for this big 
skulker!

What a 10 min wonder for a yard bird! 

Good luck if you scour the area. 

Cheers,
Scott Somershoe

[Colin Woolley]

That Black-billed Cuckoo is the first banding record for Chico Basin Ranch 
and actually a first for all Bird Conservancy banding operations!
