[cobirds] Arapahoe County yard bird - Did I see a Pine Warbler?
COBirders, I need some I.D. help!! At 4:20 this afternoon, from my kitchen window, I noticed a bird on my suet feeder. Grabbed binocs and noticed a yellowish warbler as it turned around on the feeder and then flew left out of view. I raced to my laundry room window on the side of the house and saw it hopping around in the pine tree not far from the window. I got decent views of it for a couple of minutes. It appeared slightly larger and chunkier than a yellow warbler, had an olive green back and head, yellow on face with some olive (not sure about exact facial pattern), bright yellow spectacle look to eye ring, slightly longish "warbler" beak, bright yellow throat with yellow extending about halfway down the belly, white lower belly and white undertail coverts, two white wing bars, noticed long area of white on underside of tail with black spots. The bird appeared to be foraging in the pine tree, nipping at the boughs. After several minutes, it flew out of view, and I was not able to locate it again before the light faded. I'd appreciate an opinion from someone with more warbler experience than I have!! Thanks!

[cobirds] Pine Warbler - Arapahoe County yard bird
Cobirders, The adult male Pine Warbler I saw yesterday afternoon has returned to the suet feeder in my backyard fairly frequently this a.m. and early afternoon. He seems to come in about every 15 to 30 minutes. He is brilliant. Three birders have been able to get photos. I'll try to keep the feeder full, and people are welcome to come by and take a look. It has been very birdy back there lately! If you are interested in coming by, please call 303-771-0897.

[cobirds] No Pine Warbler - Arapahoe County
Cobirders, December 2011 was a certainly birdy month in my backyard. I am sad to report, though, that I have not seen the Pine Warbler for the past 3 days. I suspect, with the warmer weather, that he has not had need of the suet. He was around for 3 weeks and 58 birders had the opportunity to see him. Dec 28 was the last day I saw him. I will definitely post right away if he returns. Wishing you all a very birdy New Year!

[cobirds] Cherry Creek State Park/Whimbrel
This morning around 10:00 at the new wetland area near Peoria: 2 Whimbrel, 4 Long-billed Dowitcher, 1 Spotted Sandpiper, 1 Solitary Sandpiper, kildeer, semipalmated sandpiper, and avocet. Also nearby: 8-10 yellow-headed blackbird and a house wren, with Tree, Barn and N. Rough-winged Swallow overhead. As I was leaving a flock of 20+ Wilson's Phalarope landed - an inspiring end to a short morning of birding. Such great variety in such a newly-established little spot! Becky Campbell unincorp.

[cobirds] Yard Bird: House Wren/Arapahoe County
Cobirders, I also have House Wrens this year. This is my third year living in my home in Arapahoe County, very near Cherry Creek State Park and the second time I have seen a wren in my yard (mature trees and shrubs). The male arrived on May 7 and has been singing his heart out ever since. He spent a week or two deciding between a wren house and a chickadee house and then opted to build his stick nest in the chickadee house. He has attracted a mate and they have been lining the nest. He's also building another stick nest in the wren house now. It is hard to tell exactly how many wrens are around and when or if eggs have been laid. Anyway, they have kept the yard quite noisy and busy. It has been a great spring with all the recent moisture. I have also had a pair of Bullock's Orioles coming to an oriole feeder off and on all day for the past several weeks. Other spring visitors have included a pair of Black-headed Grosbeaks and a few weeks later what looks like a juvenile, a Chipping Sparrow, Song Sparrow, Black-chinned and Broad-tailed Hummingbirds, White-crowned Sparrow, Western Kingbirds, Bushtits, Pine Siskin, Lesser Goldfinch (both), Brown-headed Cowbirds and a Western Wood Peewee. Not bad for suburbia. Colorado is turning out to be more birdy than I had anticipated!!

[cobirds] White-winged Dove - unincorporated Arapahoe Cty yard bird
Cobirders, New yard bird this afternoon - a White-Winged Dove! So that makes it a 3-dove day!! Just when I thought migrant traffic was about over for my yard! I am still enjoying regular visits from 3 - 5 Bullock's Orioles, a pair of Eurasian Collared Doves (had lots of these at my house when I lived in n. Italy), and a pair of nesting House Wrens. In May, I had visits from 3 Black-headed Grosbeaks, Bushtits, White-crowned sparrow, Spotted Towhee, Yellow-rumped Warblers (both), 3 Western Tanager, Western Wood Peewee, Red-winged Blackbirds, Western Kingbirds, and Black-chinned and Broad-tailed Hummingbirds.

[cobirds] Arapahoe County Yard Bird - probable White-throated Sparrow
Cobirders, I noticed a sparrow yesterday in my backyard but thought it was a song sparrow and did not really check it out. Rethought that decision today as it was scratching around under the thistle feeder with regularity. Got out my scope to check lores more closely. Looks like a tan stripe WTSP with yellowish lores and faint streaking to upper breast. Also had a Swainson's Thrush today!

[cobirds] White-throated Sparrows - Arapahoe County Yard
Cobirders, I have really enjoyed this fall's migration.vicariously..by reading Cobirds:) (I have spent the past 7 weeks mostly at home recovering from surgery and a prior unrelated injury.) It is truly fun, though, reading and imagining the great experiences being had in the field. One of the interesting aspects of this migration season - the increase? in White-throated Sparrows - did not pass me by! I have had 3 separate WTSP visits: 10/19/12 - tan-striped adult 11/15/12 - white-striped adult 11/24/12 - tan-striped adult vs 1st year This individual had more extensive blurry streaking on sides and an outlined white throat. Lucky me! I've actually had more WTSP's than WCSP's. I also managed to get a glimpse of the Brambling on Friday!

[cobirds] Owl Close Encounter - Arapahoe County
Cobirders, Around 6:30 this evening, as I was getting dinner prepared, several times I thought I saw the flash of a wing out over the back patio. But, at 6:30, all I could see against the pitch black of night was kitchen reflections. I assumed my brain was playing tricks on me, since I'd watched a sharpie hanging out near a juniper next to the patio and occasionally swooping low over the grass at dusk an hour or so earlier. By the 3rd time I saw a "wing flash," I stepped over to the sink, leaned over to look through the window and came face to face with a very small owl. He was perched about 3 feet away from me on the window sill. He flew after about 5 seconds, so I got just a brief look. My quick impressions were of a small owl 8 inches or less with a small round whitish facial disk with brown streaking and a white "X" through the eye area and no ear tufts visible. He seemed more brown than gray, but hard to tell in the dark. I have little experience with owls. It looked very similar to photos of Northern Saw-whet, but could have been W. Screech??? Not sure what would be likely here in suburbia in December. A fun and very close encounter!

[cobirds] Probable Varied Thrush - Arapahoe County
Cobirders, This evening my parents called to say they saw a robin-like bird under the feeders at their Greenwood Village home east of the Tech Center. They described it as being robin sized with a distinct eyebrow, a rusty and speckled belly and "striped" wings. They observed it pecking at seed under their feeders and taking cover under the nearby blue spruce. It had been there off and on all afternoon. I rushed over, but the bird did not put in an appearance for me. After consulting a field guide, they felt certain it was a varied thrush!

[cobirds] Female Varied Thrush - Greenwood Village, Arapahoe County
Cobirders, A beautiful female Varied Thrush continues for the third day in my folks backyard. Today, she was seen briefly under feeders off and on during the morning hours, through lunchtime and again around 5:30. I was able to see her this afternoon. She graciously gave us superb views for 4 or 5 minutes. Usually she is only visible for shorter periods. I suspect she is foraging under cover most of the time. Given that this is mid April, I suspect she won't stay long. If anyone would like to try catching a glimpse of the thrush, my parents, Kirby and Mary Eleanor Cockerham, have agreed to allow birders into their home this weekend.

[cobirds] Arapahoe Cty Owl Question
Cobirders, I just had a close encounter with a medium-sized owl just outside my front door. It was perched on a planter slightly less than 20 feet away. We had about a two minute stare at one another. It had a tawny longish looking facial disk, yellow eyes, longish and very vertical ear tufts, with dark barring and streaking (like little squares). Measuring the visualized height later with a ruler, I think it had to be slightly longer than 12". Looked longer when it flew. Definitely not Great-Horned size. Could this be a Long-eared Owl?

[cobirds] More yard White-crowned Sparrows - Arapahoe County
Okay, has anyone else noticed increased numbers of White-crowned Sparrows under yard feeders this past winter season?? I have had a little flocklet. In the previous ten winters of living here in Arapahoe County (near CCSP), I have usually had 2-5 brief visits from WCSPs each winter. Usually 2 or 3 individuals for 1 or 2 days. This season, I have had about 5 - 20 WCSPs almost daily since Dec 9. The higher numbers arrive when the weather changes. I keep thinking they will move on, but 8-10 are still hanging around. Most of the winter they have outnumbered my Juncos and House Finches! Alas, no White-throated Sparrows this year!

Re: [cobirds] Re: Red-breasted Nuthatch movements
I am located just south of Cherry Creek State Park. I have had RBNU's visiting my yard all year. Two have been especially regular visitors this summer. On July 2, I had an adult feeding 2 fledglings. I am assuming that they nested nearby, because their visits were so frequent. According to my records, RBNUs were around last summer as well, but not as regularly.

[cobirds] Blue Jay and Painted Lady
Birdy morning in my yard, with four Blue Jays in the mix plus a FOS junco. About an hour ago I saw a Blue Jay swoop to the ground with a Painted Lady. In trying to position it in his beak, he dropped it once then grabbed it again and quickly consumed it whole. I thought it was interesting in light of the fact that several yards away were mixed seed feeders, suet, and earlier I had put out peanuts in the shell which had eagerly been toted off by the four jays.

[cobirds] Hummingbird with dark belly band??
I am still trying to learn immature hummingbird identification!! I have had an individual for the past four days that has a very dark band completely across the belly with more blackish patches below. Throat is very lightly spotted and chest is white. Wings approach tail length, head spotted greyish green. I have not seen any rufous coloration or gotten good view of tail. Overall impression of proportions/size is black-chinned hummer-ish. The bird comes in to my feeder briefly and then flies out sight to perch. Have not had great views of the back. I have never seen a dark wash extend beyond the sides. Is this common? Is the black appearance just a lighting phenomenon? Is this an immature characteristic? Which species would show this?

[cobirds] Juvenile Sapsucker ID Question - Araphoe County
Cobirders, I had a brief visit to my backyard from a juvenile sapsucker this morning. It was working in an Ash tree and I was only able to visualize from the back (head pale brownish with whitish supercilium and malar? stripe, back buffy with irregular brown and blackish barring, some white on rump, white stripe on wing). My question: would this necessarily be a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker because it has retained juvenile plumage into December? This is the first season I have had a sapsucker in the yard. Interestingly, I had a visit from a similar or same individual on Oct 22.

[cobirds] Arapahoe Cty. Varied Thrush
Cobirders, I have NOT seen the VATH in my yard since Monday evening. I spoke with a good friend/neighbor who lives about two blocks from me, who saw the thrush in her backyard briefly yesterday. With all the snow now mostly melted off, the VATH has lots more forage area to choose from and is likely roaming the neighborhood and maybe Cherry Creek State Park or has moved westward. If he returns with coming weather system with any regularity, I will post again. Interestingly, I spoke with another neighbor who lives about 3 blocks from me who had seen the VATH at her yard between Jan 9 and Jan 22. She brought pictures to show me for confirmation.

Re: [cobirds] Re: Western Tanager invasion, Boulder
I live in the southeast metro- Denver area just south of Cherry Creek State Park. I’ve had four Western Tanagers for about a week, also going for suet. It’s definitely the brightest male who dominates. Previous years’ tanager visits have been fleeting. For the past several weeks, I’ve also had several male Bullock’s Orioles and two male Black-headed Grosbeaks joining the American Goldfinches to round out my color parade.

Re: [cobirds] Woodcock bd snipe Arapahoe county
Deb, Linda, Dave, I had a very odd snipe experience in Oct, 1998. I noticed a "Common Snipe" (before Wilson's designation) in my suburban Tacoma, WA backyard. It caught my eye because of the strange and very prominent bobbing up and down behavior as it probed and walked around in my vegetable garden and yard. I thought it had a neurological problem;) It was an amazing opportunity because, for some reason, the bird hung around from about 1pm till dusk pretty much in full view. I also had several chances to observe the "freezing for camouflage" position it took when alarmed. Once, when a sharpie landed on a tree stump, it adopted the angled frozen posture for almost 10 min. I looked through all my bird guides and couldn't find anything on the bobbing behavior; so, after a few phone calls, got in touch with the president of the Washington Ornithological Society. He was quite interested in my story because he was only familiar with bobbing behavior in the Jack Snipe. He subsequently sent my crude photos and write up to a shorebird expert at University of Puget Sound, who also did not know about bobbing in the Common Snipe but did verify my photos as Common Snipe. Wish I'd had better technology then. I assume it was a Wilson's. At the time there had been one documented report of a Jack Snipe in Washington state, based mostly on bobbing behavior, as the observation was from a distance!

[cobirds] Zonotrichia Trifecta - Arapahoe County
One short of a Zono Grand Slam in my yard this morning! I live just a block south of Cherry Creek State Park. Joining my usual assortment of White-crowned Sparrows and a 1st winter Harris’s Sparrow that has been visiting regularly since 11/30, I had a brief visit from an White-throated Sparrow under my backyard feeders. Rusty brown sparrow with bright white, outlined throat, distinctly yellow lores, gray bill, white wing-bars, lateral crown stripes almost white (not as tan as tan-striped WTSP I had in the yard years ago). Leaning white-striped adult. Hopefully it will return so I can better id it. The Harris’s showed up about 20 min after the WTSP appearance, so not quite like David S.’s Zono Hat Trick of all three present at the same time!
