I own the Wild Birds Unlimited in Colorado Springs, I'm actually currently 
working on a lending library of foreign bird books and guides - for people to 
use on vacation, etc. If anyone is getting rid of bird or nature books, 
especially forign guides, I'd love to be considered.

Thanks!

Good luck! I have attempted to give away dozens of great volumes and no one 
wants them. I’m boxing them up to give to the Jeffco Library to sell off in 
their annual Whale of a Sale, if even they can unload them. Nobody wants books 
anymore. It’s really too bad.

[cobirds] Colorado Christmas Bird Count reviewing

2023-01-18 Thread Brandon 
Hi all,

I am currently reviewing the 50 some Colorado Christmas Bird Counts that
were held around the state this past winter.  Many counts found
rarities for their count (or during count week), if you happened to
photograph any of them, you can copy your ebird checklist (that shows the
photos), so I can put the comment (ph = photographed on the CBC Website for
that count for the specific species).  Or you can email the photo, and let
me know what count it was on, and that will work too.  I am emailing
compilers, if I am getting a different species total, from what they
reported and asking for documentation for certain species.  All Colorado
Bird Records Committee review species, always require documentation to be
submitted to the Colorado Bird Records Committee, when found on Colorado
Christmas Bird Counts.  So far, from the Christmas Counts submitted and
completed on the CBC Website, only the following Colorado Bird Record
Committee have been reported: Eurasian Wigeon, Mallard (Mexican) Duck, and
Purple Finch.  I always require details on all Turkey Vultures and Chipping
Sparrow sightings on any Colorado CBC (waiting for details on those now).
I'm also asking for details on a few sapsuckers depending on which count
they were found, since Red-naped and Yellow-bellied could be
misidentified.  You all are welcome to look over Colorado CBC Results from
this winter, on the CBC Website, and let me know, if you see any issues
with any of the results.  I will be reviewing Colorado Christmas Bird
Counts, until the end of March, all compilers *MUST *have their results
entered into the CBC Website by the end of February, though *WAY *before
that is always helpful.

A big thanks to all the compilers, participants, and feeder watchers who
make Christmas Bird Counts a success in Colorado each winter.
