Re: [cobirds] Bird ID help request

[Bill Kosar]

I'd like to hear other comments on Mary Kay's observations. I think this 
bird is too small to be a western tanager, it is only about 5.5 inches 
long. It's bill is actually relatively dark but appears light due to the 
bright sun on it. I stared at the pics for a while and still think it is a 
lesser goldfinch based on its bill shape and the location of its right eye 
relative to the bill. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of its back.

Re: [cobirds] Bird ID help request

[Bill Kosar]

Thanks for all of the replies on my bird ID question. The results were:

Bird #1   5 people thought it was an orchard oriole, 2 a goldfinch and 1 a 
female western tanager. Another picture that I did not post shows the wing 
stripes of the oriole so I think this ID is correct.
Bird #2   Everyone agreed it is a pine siskin
Bird #3   Everyone (except me initially!) agreed it was a rufous 
hummingbird, probably juvenile. After a little more research I also agree 
with this ID

Thanks for all of the responses!

[cobirds] Interesting El paso county birds (BCNH and ibis)

[Bill Kosar]

   I did some looking around Fountain today and in addition the many 
regulars I saw some ibis in the southeast corner of the Kane and Link road 
intersection. Flood irrigation of the surrounding fields seems to be just 
getting started so they should be around for a couple of days. I suspect 
most or all of them were white-faced, they were too far away to see well.

   There was a Black crowned night heron on the east side of the large 
Rice's pond at Fountain creek nature center. Also a pair of pelicans.

Re: [cobirds] Red Headed Woodpecker

[Bill Kosar]

Daniel,

I have a picture of a juvenile red-headed woodpecker that I saw at Fountain 
Creek Nature Center in about 2010. I have also seen them in the banding 
area at Chico ranch where many other folks have seen them.

[cobirds] Common Gallinule update (El Paso county)

[Bill Kosar]

  A steady stream of folks were coming by to see the Common Gallinule at 
Cross Creek Regional Park in Fountain, El Paso County on Wednesday morning. 
I left at about 10 and it was moving around the northwest corner of the 
pond. In addition to the bright red markings on its bill it has very green 
legs.

[cobirds] Location of winter wren in Colorado Springs (El Paso county)

[Bill Kosar]

I tried to find the winter wren today based on the GPS coordinates reported 
in ebird and the comments about it being near a culvert. The published GPS 
coordinates point to spot in the middle of the BMX track that is under 
construction in Rampart Park so I don't think that is where people have 
been seeing/hearing the wren. I looked at several culvert locations around 
the area but I am not sure I looked at the right spot but I saw and heard 
nothing.

  I would appreciate it if someone could provide some more explicit details 
about where they saw the wren (maybe some better GPS info) 

Thanks

[cobirds] Roads at Chico ranch El Paso county

Does anyone know the current road conditions at Chico? We plan to go out 
Sunday to do some birding but I don't know if the heavy rains we have 
recently had (1.75 inches in Colorado Springs in the last 2 days) are a 
problem wrt ranch roads.

Re: [cobirds] Re: Yellow Grosbeak possible injury (Huerfano Co)

[Bill Kosar]

>From a forensic perspective I took pictures off the bird at 12:19 PM today 
(I cross-checked my camera's clock to be sure this time is exactly correct) 
and there was no evidence of this blood (?)  at that time. I cannot tell 
what time Carolyn's pictures were actually taken at based on the .jpg info 
I can see in her posted shots, we only know when she posted them. So 
something happened early this afternoon.

[cobirds] Common or Chihuahuan Raven?

[BILL KOSAR]

 I have debated about this bird for a week. I saw it in an open prairie region 
east of Big Johnson reservoir in Colorado Springs. Please send me your opinion.

[cobirds] Pacific or common loons (?)

[BILL KOSAR]

  I saw these loons at Big Johnson Reservoir today and I think they are Pacific 
loons.

 

  Thanks in advance for any comments clarifying whether they are Pacific or 
common loons
