[cobirds] COMMON GALLINULE in El Paso County 4/19
It seems like some birders don't post much about rare birds in Colorado on cobirds, as much as they used to. Hopefully Colorado Bird Records Committee Review species at least get posted more often. Tanja Britton found a COMMON GALLINULE today (19 April 2022) at Cross Creek Regional Park in Fountain, El Paso County. The bird was present all day, hopefully it hangs around. View from the south side of the pond, looking across the pond to the north. It comes in and out of the reeds. Since, there's only 12 accepted records for Colorado, and none in El Paso County, at least a few people who saw it, and photographed it today, did document it for the Colorado Birds Records Committee. Remember to document any CBRC review species that you see in Colorado.

Kathy Kay helped in the morning, and Linda Lee helped in the afternoon. Thanks very much for your excellent eyes! Weather: The predicted west winds did not materialize until late in the count, and even then the winds were not strong. The morning cloud cover helped us spot migrants during the first two hours. The 1000 hour changed to clear blue skies, hot temperatures, and light winds. The W/NW winds late in the count was a welcome cool relief from the hot sun. Raptor Observations: We started the count an hour early to catch the early migrants and we observed a good number and variety of early raptors. It was difficult to locate migrants once the skies cleared, but we had a steady trickle throughout the day. Non-raptor Observations: American White Pelicans, Steller’s Jay Report submitted by DAVID HILL () Dinosaur Ridge - Denver Field Ornithologists information may be found at: http://www.dfobirds.org More site information at hawkcount.org: https://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=123 Site Description: Dinosaur Ridge is the only regularly staffed hawkwatch in Colorado and is the best place in the world to see migrating Ferruginous Hawks.

Hawkwatchers who linger long enough may see resident Golden Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks and Prairie Falcons, in addition to migrating Swainson's, Cooper's and Sharp-shinned Hawks, American Kestrels and Turkey Vultures. Peregrine Falcons and Ferruginous Hawks are uncommon; Northern Goshawk is rare but regular. Non-raptor species include Rock Wren, and sometimes Bushtit, Western Bluebird, Sandhill Crane, White-throated Swift, American White Pelican or Dusky Grouse. Birders of any skill level are always welcome. HawkWatch at Dinosaur Ridge is generally staffed by volunteers from about 9 AM to around 3 PM from March 1st to May 7th. Directions to site: >From exit 259 on I-70 towards Morrison, drive south under freeway and take left into first parking lot, the Stegosaurus lot. Follow small signs from the southwest end of lot to the hawkwatch site. The hike starts heading east on an old two-track and quickly turns south onto a trail on the west side of the ridge. When the trail nears the top of the ridge, turn left, head through the gate, and walk to the clearly-visible, flat area at the crest of the ridge.

[cobirds] Bewick Wren, Waneka Lake, Boulder County
Hey, all. Moments ago this sunny Tues., Apr. 19, I saw and heard a *Bewick wren* in the tangles along the north shore of Waneka Lake, Boulder County. I was out on a run, and didn't have a camera. But I got some cellphone audio of the bird. I'm not terribly hopeful about the prospects for refinding this bird. It emerged from the tangles at the extreme southeast corner of Greenlee Preserve, then worked eastward relatively briskly in the thin shrubbery and cottonwood trunks along and east of the "beach" on the north shore of Waneka Lake. What I'm saying is, The bird seemed to me to be on the move. But who knows! If you can conveniently get to the spot, it might be worth some searching. At least one *white-throated sparrow* was singing at the nearby Greenlee feeders. A few more local notes: Yesterday, Mon., Apr. 18, a first-of-season *solitary sandpiper* had joined the killdeers, avocets, and yellowlegses at Greenlee Preserve, and I saw and heard three unexpected *evening grosbeaks* flying north over the Walmart SuperCenter in Lafayette. Go figure. Ted Floyd Lafayette, Boulder County -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
