[cobirds] Palm Warbler at Quincy Reservoir and Sabine's Gull at Arapahoe Res. (Arapahoe Co)

['Cathy Sheeter' via Colorado Birds]

Unfortunately I have a sick dog, so my birding outings have been few this 
fall, but this evening I did about a mile of the loop at Quincey 
Reservoir.  Overall not super birdy (though good numbers of ducks), but I 
did have a confiding Palm Warbler (western).  It looks like this is a bit 
early, so figured it was worth reporting here.  It was in some trees near 
the shore line, perhaps 1/4 mile around from the parking lot.  Anyone who 
just likes to look at pictures can see a few of it here:  eBird Checklist - 
17 Sep 2021 - Quincy Reservoir - 36 species (+2 other taxa) 


Last Sunday, at Aurora Reservoir along the dam, was an adult Sabine's Gull 
headed into non-breeding plumage.  There have also been 4 Sanderlings along 
the dam, plus numerous Baird's and a few Semipalmated Sandpipers.   eBird 
Checklist - 12 Sep 2021 - Aurora Reservoir - 14 species (+2 other taxa) 


Both of these parks require an Aurora City Park pass, or daily admission 
fee.

[cobirds] Costa's Hummingbird in Bent County update

[Duane Nelson]

Birders,

Five parties observed the Costa's Hummingbird in my Las Animas yard 
today from early morning through 3:30 p.m. This morning, it sat in plain 
sight in the cold, cloudy, windy weather most of the time, possibly 
slowing down it's metabolism to stay warm. Around noon, bugs began to 
appear, and the hummingbird began to hunt them. As it warmed into the 
low 70s, it disappeared for over and hour, and I thought it may have 
departed. I can't say I was unhappy at the prospect that the bird might 
have departed and corrected it's wayward ways.


Currently, the bird is roosting within a few feet of the feeders, and 
I'm quite sure it will be here at dawn. I will update cobirds if the 
bird returns tomorrow morning. Visitors are welcome.

[cobirds] Leicistic red-tailed hawk, Gunnison County

[Cara Stiles]

This was posted earlier on Facebook, but I thought it should be posted here as 
well. We saw a leucistic red tailed hawk just outside of Crested Butte, up the 
road towards Mount Crested Butte. Pictures are on Facebook. We were able to 
watch it for a very long time. This was the the 15th and 16th. Some of the tail 
feathers and wing feathers were visible, however it was primarily white.

[cobirds] Costa's Hummingbird in Bent County update

[Duane Nelson]

Birders,

The immature male Costa's hummingbird visiting my feeders in Las Animas, 
Bent County, CO has returned this morning for the eighth consecutive 
day. Birders are welcome to look for it, although my lawn chairs may not 
be upright when you arrive. We are currently under a high wind warning 
due to the passage of a strong cold front. So far, the wind isn't strong 
enough to tip and empty the feeders, and winds are predicted to ease 
after 10 a.m. The hummingbird seems oblivious to the swaying branches 
and perches.
