I attempted to find the Eurasian wigeon this morning.  Light in the morning
was really bad.  Probably best to go later.  Did not find the wigeon.
There were only a couple dozen wigeons on the water that I could see.
Might still be there, but between the distance I had to scope and the

Re: [cobirds] White Ibis?

[David Chartier]

I answered David on this, but I should have hit "reply all."  I could not
find it this morning.  It was the first day of dove hunting season, and
there were gunshots going off constantly.  I did not go down the two-track
road, because there was a lot of gunfire coming from there.  There was also
someone actually hunting in the marsh.

Came across a Trumpeter Swan at Chatfield today. Parked at the trail head area 
past kingfisher bridge, walked the trail to the first pond, then to the second 
pond which is known as Pond #5 on the map I looked at. Lone bird, very large. 
Close range. Plenty of other ducks out on this pond/lake, as much of it was not 
frozen. My ebird report has pictures and a description.

[cobirds] Fremont Co. birding

[David Chartier]

I looked for the Scott's oriole at Brush Hollow today, but no luck.  There were 
Bullock's orioles and a blue grosbeak, but no Scott's.  Cañon City River Walk 
was pretty birdy.  Best birds were female redstart, western tanager (first of 
year for me), lazuli bunting, yellow-breasted chat, and warbling vireo.

[cobirds] Chico Basin Ranch, Nashville warbler

[David Chartier]

Made a quick trip to Chico Basin Ranch this morning.  Pretty quiet, but best 
birds were near the HQ pond: Nashville warbler and northern waterthrush.

Sorry for the late post, but I was traveling yesterday.  I went to find the 
painted bunting at Picture Canyon in Baca County yesterday morning, but found a 
golden-winged warbler instead.  It wasn't very cooperative, but I got one photo.

[cobirds] Chico Basin Ranch Birding

[David Chartier]

I decided to give the roads at Chico Basin a chance this morning.  Stopped by 
the banding station briefly where there was an orange-crowned warbler, 
blue-gray gnatcatcher and a very large flock of white-crowned sparrows 
(seemingly all Gambel's).  The HQ had rose-breasted grosbeak and green-tailed 
towhee.  Started to go to Rose Pond, but a giant mud puddle got in the way.

I thought I would try for the Hudsonian godwit at Lake Holbrook before work

On my way home from Chico Basin Ranch, where I saw, among other birds, gray 
flycatcher, hermit thrush and golden-crowned kinglet, I stopped at Squirrel 
Creek Rd and Ellicott to look for mountain plover.  Did not see the plover, but 
there were two long-billed curlews in the same field on the south side of the 
road.  They flew almost immediately to the northeast and they just kept going.

Found a couple pinyon jays at Brush Hollow this morning.  Went by Holcim 
Wetlands.  It's still closed, but there was an eastern phoebe calling across 
the street from the parking lot.  You can scope the wetlands pretty well from 
the road.  There was a flock of American white pelicans and numerous greater

[cobirds] Otero County birding

[David Chartier]

Not much shorebird habitat at Cheraw right now.  Didn't see any snowy plovers.  
A flock of American avocets was the most interesting sighting.  Went to Lake 
Holbrook after Cheraw.  Lots of shorebird habitat and snowy plovers.  Also saw 
a couple greater yellowlegs and a few Baird's sandpipers.  A flock of American 
white pelicans and American avocets were also present.  A little bit east of 
Lake Holbrook on CR FF, there were some black-necked stilts at a small pond on 
the south side.

There was a male varied thrush at Fountain Creek Regional Park around 11:00am

I have any good ones I will post on Facebook.  I know Bill got one that was at

large pond (Rice's Pond?).  It was associating with one male robin.  It 
continued to move east until it was out of sight.  It seemed to like the olive 
trees near the beaver dam, though, so I hope it returns for others to see.

Subject: [cobirds] Bell's Vireo/Painted Bunting -- Pueblo County 5/24


This morning I was surprised to find a singing Bell's Vireo at Valco Ponds SWA 
in Pueblo.  It was singing continuously for a half a hour, when I was trying to 
get photos of it.  

There are two ways to get to this bird.  You can park at Valco Ponds parking 
lot, along Hwy 96, and walk to the last pond (3rd pond), and keep walking east, 
until you are almost past the pond.  On your right (south) there are lots of 
olives, this is where the bird was.  If you would rather not park at Valco 
Ponds parking lot, the other closest place to park, is the eastern end of the 
Osprey Picnic Area on the North side of the river.  You'll have to walk east 
and then follow the river to the Valco Bridge, cross the bridge to south side 
of the river and go west to about where the 3rd Valco Pond appears, and on your 
left (south) is where the bird was.  
Also, when I was at the east end of the 3rd Valco Pond, when I was walking 
around it, a green colored bunting -- Painted Bunting flew out of the willows, 
and went to west side of the pond.  I didn't go back there, to try to re-find 
it.  I wasn't able to get photos of this bird, as I mostly only saw it in 
flight.  This was my 3rd green plumage Painted Bunting this spring in Colorado!
Since these two species breed in other parts of Colorado, these birds are 
probably not of interest to most people, except for a few local people.  It is 
a long walk (a mile at least) from either of the two parking lots, 
unfortunately.
The only other thing of note, on my five mile hike this morning, were four 
Bonaparte's Gulls on the Fish Hatchery Ponds, west of Valco Ponds parking 
lot/east of Snakeskin Picnic Area parking lot.
Good birding,
Brandon Percival

[cobirds] Warblers, Fountain Creek, El Paso Co

[David Chartier]

I was ready for disappointment this morning when I arrived at Hanson Nature 
Center and found it closed.  So I birded from Duckwood to Willow Springs and 
found eight warbler species.  Most of the action was on the north side of Rice 
Pond, where I found a female American redstart and Blackpoll warbler.  There 
was also a plumbeous vireo in the same area.  The warblers were working the 
trees around the beaver lodge.  Other warblers were MacGillivray's, Wilson's, 
yellow, yellow-rumped, orange-crowned, and common yellowthroat.

today: Bullock's oriole, black-headed grosbeak, and white-crowned sparrow.  
That's six new ones in two days.  Hope it keeps going like this.

[cobirds] Warblers in backyard Colorado Springs

[David Chartier]

I have lived at this house in the middle of Colorado Springs for almost nine 
years and have only seen one warbler here in the past: a yellow-rumped warbler. 
 Today I had orange crowned, Virginia's, MacGillivray's and yellow-rumped.  
Nice surprise and upped my yardbird count by three.

Followed up Brandon, Kara and Lisa at Hasty.  Found the summer tanagers and 
plumbeous vireo.  Also had northern parula and western tanager.  It seemed like 
birds were constantly arriving and leaving.  I stayed for two hours and things 
just seemed to keep turning over.

RE: [cobirds] Lookout Mtn (Jefferson) 3/28

Somebody else may have already posted this, but the dusky grouse is no longer

for work on Friday and went up to try to get a look.  The ranger told me the

Hi Everyone, Today 3/28 I went up to Lookout Mountain to see if the Dusky 
Grouse was still there. I arrived around 12:30pm. He finally made an appearance 
around 3:30pm, strolling across the parking lot and settling in roughly in the 
middle, two rows out from the nature center. He was pretty mellow for my visit, 
and I hear rumors he has a girlfriend somewhere downhill from the entrance 
gate. If he’s not in the parking lot itself, he may be roosting in a tree 
somewhere. Mark MillerLongmont, CO

The DUNLIN and male CINNAMON TEAL continue at this location.  Late this 
afternoon, the Dunlin was working the rocky edge of the water (i.e., not the 
sandbar) about 200 yards east of the McKay bridge.
Some of the big ponds on either side of the South Platte River hosted quite a 
few ducks and gulls today.  The biggest surprise was an adult ICELAND GULL, 
seen on one of the ponds east of the river, between McKay and 88th.  It flew 
towards the southwest just before sunset, so maybe it was heading to one of the 
lakes in the southern Denver metro area for the night?

Leon Bright and I were over at Lake Minnequa in the central part of Pueblo 
around 11am, and saw the adult Tundra Swan and a female/immature White-winged 
Scoter.  
The best place to park when it is sunny out, in the morning, is the overflow 
Hospital parking lot, south of St. Mary Corwin Hospital, along Lake Ave.  This 
is the east side of the lake, looking west.  The light from here in the 
afternoon looking west, is probably not the best.  The scoter was straight out 
from this parking lot and the swan was toward the south east corner, with some 
Canada Geese.  I think this is probably the same White-winged Scoter that has 
been at Pueblo Reservoir since late December. Good birding,

[cobirds] Pueblo birding

[David Chartier]

Birded around Pueblo and the reservoir today.  There were many gulls and ducks 
at the ice edge at Fisherman Point.  Most notable there was at least one 
greater scaup .  The great black-backed gull was at the South Marina tires 
along with two lesser black-backed gulls.  Goodnight Trail had a swamp sparrow, 
and Pueblo City Park had a yellow-bellied sapsucker near the small gorge.  Wind 
was a big factor, but still some good birds around.

[cobirds] Fremont County birding

[David Chartier]

I was able to get good looks at the canyon wren at Tunnel Drive that John 
Drummond reported hearing yesterday.  Haven't seen one here in quite a while.  
Sells pond had a snow goose, Ross' goose, and greater white-fronted goose.  I 
also saw the stub-tailed wren near the first bench on the Canon City River Walk 
entering from Reynolds.  Quite sure this was a Pacific wren, though the chatter 
really did sound like a winter wren.  Throat was a rich buffy orange and dark 
overall.  By the time I dropped the binoculars and picked up the camera he was 
gone.  Dipped on the yellow-bellied sapsucker at Rouse Park and the 
rufous-crowned sparrow at Tunnel Drive (again).

[cobirds] Long-billed curlews, El Paso Co.

[David Chartier]

On my way back from Chico Basin Ranch this morning, where there was nothing too 
exciting to report, there were three long-billed curlews in the flooded field 
along Hanover Road that is about 2 miles from the intersection of Old Pueblo 
Road and Hanover Road.  Not the numbers others have been seeing, but . . . .

[cobirds] Chico Basin Ranch and Hanover Road

[David Chartier]

Had a long-billed curlew along Hanover Road this morning on my way to Chico 
Basin Ranch.  The bird was in a distant field with a large group of gulls and 
geese about 2.5 miles from Old Pueblo Road.  The field was to the northeast of 
the road. Chico had my first barn swallow of the year.  There were also 
burrowing owls, two greater yellowlegs at the headquarters pond, a flock of 
American white pelicans, one Franklin's gull, and two mountain plovers. David

I took a trip to Holcim Wetlands this morning.  There was a flock of about two

[cobirds] El Paso County birding

[David Chartier]

I visited Falcon today and found the dunlin on the edge of the pond on Lambert. 
 I then went to Turkey Creek Ranch where I found red-naped sapsucker and 
Williamson's sapsucker.  There was also a juvenile sapsucker in the same tree 
as the red-naped, but I did not get a good enough look at it to determine if it 
was a red-naped or yellow-bellied.  I did not see the Lewis's woodpecker.  This 
afternoon I was able to re-find the Barrow's goldeneye at Big Johnson, but 
after more than an hour of searching I did not find the long-tailed duck. David

The common redpoll flock was still at Baseline Reservoir in Boulder this

Looks like the eight upldand sandpipers reported as being present yesterday at

just north of the lake early this morning.  Also looks like most of the 
long-billed curlews and mountain plovers are gone.  The only curlew I saw today 
was at Neenoshe.  Red-bellied woodpecker was at the north end of Willow Creek 
Park.  Hundreds of Wilson's phalaropes were at Neenoshe as well. David

The little blue heron was still present this morning around 6:30 in the pond

you would need to go to the north or northeast side to view it.  It was by a 
pile of large, light-colored boulders. David ChartierColorado Springs

There was a northern goshawk about 1-1.5 miles west of Sidalia today along

the middle of a field.  Wish I could give you more precise mileage from

From: bkperci...@yahoo.com
Subject: [cobirds] Worm-eating Warbler -- Pueblo City Park 4/21
To: cobirds@googlegroups.com

At about 730am I found a singing male Worm-eating Warbler along the Frisbee 
Golf Course Creek in Pueblo City Park.  This is on the west side of the park.  
I went to the Park, thinking I'd run into the DFO Group, though never did.  I 
called several local birders, who came and were able to see the warbler with me 
until 9-930am.  This is my first Worm-eating Warbler in Pueblo, the only other 
one I've seen in Pueblo County was at Chico Basin Ranch a couple of springs 
ago.  The bird ranged along the entire creek, and could be anywhere.  The 
frisbees were flying around, so the bird might be hunkered down and hard to 
find.  Photos will be seen soon at
