Re: [cobirds] Trespassing at Box Elder Creek

2020-06-11 Thread 'Birding' via Colorado Birds
I was just out there- patrol asked if I were birding. I said yes and waved the 
binos. He said “Great! Have fun!” I think some of those folks have a “because I 
can complex”. I had one try to chase me off the (public) right-of-way over at 
the burrowing owl area. I politely declined and she took off, muttering about 
calling the police. Give some folks a badge, no matter how insubstantial, and 
they tend to get above their raisin’, as they say in country music. 
There is no signage in that area, and I have to doubt if there is serious 
concern about it. If I prove to be wrong, I’ll hit you up for bail.

[cobirds] Possible magnolia, Jeffco

2019-05-06 Thread 'Birding' via Colorado Birds
While checking the warbler flock at Prospect, I had a VERY brief look at a bird 
that I tentatively ID’d as a magnolia. From below it was brilliant yellow with 
heavy black streaking. Please post if you re-find and can confirm ID. Thanks!

Re: [cobirds] RFI: Parker Brant

2018-01-12 Thread 'Birding' via Colorado Birds
Eric- I think they mostly move between those two sites. For example, yesterday 
I hit Bar CCC first, and there was a small population of geese and no brant. 
Then I went to PRP and there were zero geese. After making a quick run out to 
Elbert County, I checked Bar again. More geese, no Brant. Then, on a whim I 
tried PRP again, and there were now hundreds of geese. Ten minutes of picking 
through them finally produced the brant. Since there are no other large lakes 
nearby, all I can think is that the geese may work commercial grassy areas 
between visits to the two lakes.

Interesting discussion. A couple of weeks ago I had a sighting at Prewitt that

[cobirds] Jaeger at Barr Lake

2017-10-03 Thread 'Birding' via Colorado Birds
Just spotted a jaeger near the nature center. It flew toward the dam and 
settled on the water. We are currently at the boat launch trying to refund. No 
idea as to species from initial distant views.

[cobirds] Parasitic jaeger Cherry Creek

2016-09-16 Thread 'Birding' via Colorado Birds
Currently present. Observing with Joe Roller, Glen Walbek, Phil Pratt and Nina 
Routh.
Glen got an excellent photo showing pointed central tail feathers, slender bill 
with black tip, barred undertail with buffy background (unlike more black/white 
contrast in long-tailed). Bird seems right for parasitic on several bases.

[cobirds] Long Spurs no, curlews yes-Chatfield

2015-04-17 Thread &#x27;Birding&#x27; via Colorado Birds
After a quick unsuccessful look for the longspurs reported by Steve and Joey 
(all the other birds were there- bluebirds, sparrows, pipits), I popped over to 
the prairie dog town to check for burrowing owls. No luck on those, but the 
consolation prize is 22 long-billed curlews, semi-hidden in the vegetation 
about fifty yards off the road. Near the south entrance.
