24 Common Mergansers basking in Yard Waste Pond this afternoon. American Dipper has been on the Big Thompson River here behind my house for the past 2 weeks or so. First Dipper we have seen since the 2013 flood, so very welcome.

[cobirds] Goshawk, Loveland, Larimer County
Hi All, I had (for the first time here) a Northern Goshawk yesterday just before the rain. It was perched on a branch overlooking the wetlands behind the house for quite some time. If it wasn't a Goshawk, it was the biggest baddest Cooper's Hawk that I've ever seen. Had very noticeable supercillium, wide alert eyes, with a bill exactly like my Sibley's Juvenile Northern Goshawk, and it was huge. It was brownish, not gray like the adult. And it was very interested in the bird activity, which quickly stopped. As soon as the thunderstorm started it darted into cover and I couldn't find it again. I'm posting this in hopes someone else may have seen it. Elaine Coley, Loveland, off Rec.

[cobirds] Yellow Warbler becomes Lazuli Bunting, Larimer County
Hi All, Birding this morning I heard a Yellow Warbler singing and stopped to see if I could find it. Finally found the singer perched prominently at the tip of a dead branch on top of a cottonwood -- a beautiful male Lazuli Bunting. In all my experiences with Lazulis, both on the West Slope and Front Range, I never heard one sing like this. I know they have various ways of singing their song, usually more complicated than this "Sweet Sweet Sweet Sweetdeedeedee. Have heard many Yellow Warblers, both on W and E slope, and was so sure that's what I was hearing. Surprise surprise! Isn't birding great! Anyone else heard a Lazuli sing this song?

Hi All, Don't know if this is worthwhile or not, but I've had 2 Lincoln's Sparrows off and mostly on all of today feeding on the ground where I throw seed under a dogwood bush. It's been a while since I've had them around here -- actually since the 2013 flood on the Big Thompson. They are pretty and dainty for sparrows. Elaine Coley, Loveland Can't remember your password?

Hi All, Between 8:30--9:30 this morning had a beautiful male Townsend's Warbler on the Loveland Rec. Trail between Taft & Wilson just West of Marker 2 (north side of Recycle Center Pond). Later the female Townsend's joined him. Also seen:Osprey, lots of Wilson's Warblers, several Yellow-rumped Warblers, few Orange-crowned Warblers, House Wren, Western Wood-peewee, Swainson's Thrush. By way of info. This area on ebirds seems to be called Loveland Recycle Center Pond. BUT our local newspaper advises the area of the trail between Taft and Wilson has now been named Cottonwood Run. So, the question is what name shall I use??? Also, last few days many Turkey Vultures have been circling above the pond. Today not one TV was seen.

Hi All, Rare for me was a beautiful male Indigo Bunting and what looked like a female Lazuli Bunting in a dogwood bush and under it where I feed seed on North side of my house a little bit ago. Also around were lots of flycatchers, the only one of which I could identify well was an Olive-sided Flycatcher. Think one was a Cordilleran. Bird song all this morning was fantastic.

[cobirds] Broad-winged Hawks, Loveland, Larimer
Hi All, Have had Broad-winged Hawks now and then for several years overhead here. However, yesterday around 1 p.m. had 2 soaring above (not going from point A to point B).They both are dark morph adults. Today had 2 soaring above and one that looked like a juvenile (maybe 1st year) perched in a tree near the wetlands back of my house underneath the soaring adults at 8:30 a.m. This may not be of interest, but after reading my CO Breeding Bird Atlas it looks like they haven't been confirmed as breeding here of late. So I'm posting in case it is of interest. They can probably best be seen around Marker No. 3 on the Loveland Big Thompson River trail, west of Taft. The underpass under Taft is closed due to high water. If further info. is needed, feel free to call 970-635-9095.

Hi All, The Eastern Phoebe by the diversion dam on the Loveland Rec. Trail has company now! We're so glad to see them back. Same as last year, the 2nd to arrive has a belly a bit more yellowish. Also on the trail this morning were a pair of Common Mergansers preening and resting at the base of a new (since the flood) stump on the Yard Waste Pond just SW of Marker 2. Last evening I had a Swamp Sparrow under the dogwood bush on the North side of my house. This is only the 2nd Swamp Sparrow I've seen along here in 17 years.

[cobirds] Redpolls @ Discovery Museum, Larimer
Hi All, As of yesterday morning there were Redpolls coming to the Discovery Museum's backyard feeders in Ft. Collins. They can be viewed from INSIDE the back glass doors or windows. While Jim Thompson and I were there a Brown Creeper flew erratically into the back door and took quite a few minutes to revive itself on the cement outside the door and did finally fly off. FYI, Wildbirds Unlimited in Ft. Collins supplied the feeders and food and Discovery gal takes care of them. Above and Beyond...!

[cobirds] Steller's Jay, Loveland, Larimer
Hi all, Had a Steller's Jay (Interior West type with white marks) on the ground with White-crowned Sparrows and Juncos eating mixed seed beside my house today at midday. An Eurasian-collared Dove dove in and chased him off after a good while of good looks. This is only the second time I've had one down here between Wilson and Taft south of the rec. trail. The Dipper is back under the Taft bridge -- a bit early this year. Also a couple of Mountain Chickadees have been around for a while.

[cobirds] Sandhills over Loveland
Hi All, A large flock of Sandhill Cranes just flew over my house in SW Loveland near the Big Thompson River trail between Wilson andTaft, flying due south and craakling as they were flying. What a sight and sound -- something I've missed since we moved here from Montrose! Thanks for the heads up.

[cobirds] Good Mixed Flocks Larimer
Hi All, I couldn't find Rachel Hopper's Yellow-throated Warbler, but I've had a few real good mixed flocks along the trail between Taft and Wilson in Loveland the last couple of days. The Woodbine (Virginia Creeper) has good berries and so do the Russian Olives. Here's a list of what I've seen: Quite a few immature and adult White-crowned Sparrows, several Spotted Towhees, a few Mountain Chickadees (early), 2 different flycatchers (unable to ID), Brown Creeper, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, more than one Plumbeous Vireo, Warbling Vireo, Wilson's, Orange-crowned, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Western Wood-Peewee, Bushtits, Song Sparrows, Cedar Waxwings, White-breasted Nuthatch, and first-time I've seen on the trail a Fox Sparrow (altivagans type). the Fox SP was very large and perched quite near a Song SP, so difference was easy to see. Regulars were also quite showy -- Blue Jays, gobs of Robins, Common Grackles, Red-wing Blackbirds, Starlings, Flickers, Black-capped Chickadees, etc. Also, has anyone else seen a Blue Jay hawking insects? And there was a raptor being chased by Red-wing Blackbirds - - it flew like a kite or falcon, mostly dark, but had very bright broad white along the outer edges of tail, seemed a bit stubbier than a Peregrine -- any ideas?

[cobirds] Summer Tanager, Larimer County
Hi All, There was a Summer Tanager (not adult male) on the Big Thompson Rec. Trail in Loveland East of Wilson Ave.. First time I've seen one on this trail. I tried to make it a Western Tanager (common here in spring and late summer), but the big light-colored bill and general look and coloring wouldn't match up. For those of you who know the trail spots, this was on the WSW side of "seis", just W of "Lone Cottonwood" and the trash barrel about 9:30 a.m. Elaine Coley, Loveland Try FREE IM ToolPack at www.imtoolpack.com Capture screenshots, upload images, edit and send them to your friends through IMs, post on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn FAST! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Harris' Sparrows singing in Montrose, CO
Hi All, For info. purposes, I had 3 beautiful male Harris' Sparrows singing on my property in Montrose County for 3 days April 27, 28, 29, 1996. They were all 3 males in full breeding color. Their song was very distinctive and persistent. I had them at different times: March, April, November, but singing was in April.

[cobirds] E. Phoebe, Loveland, Larimer
Hi All, An (the) Eastern Phoebe was at the diversion dam this morning calling beautifully. Hadn't seen it for several days since the pair of Barn Swallows returned there. This morning the Barn Swallows were swooping the Phoebe, but it stood its place on the dam fence and finally swooped after them. A few years ago when the Black Phoebe and hybrid E/Black were around, they left after the Barn Swallows returned. We'll see if this one can "win" the area this time.

[cobirds] Eastern Phoebe, Larimer
Hi All, This morning had an Eastern Phoebe singing and exploring the south side of the diversion dam on the Big Thompson River (a bit NW of Marker 2).

[cobirds] Lincoln's SP Yellow-rumps
Hi All, First of season Yellow-rumped Warblers and a Lincoln's Sparrow on Big Thompson river trail between Wilson and Taft this morning. Also 1 Double-crested Cormorant in the usual Cottonwood trees, even after all that house-building cleared out the really good trees (for those of you bemoaning the take-out of the trees on the North side of the river for one house, like me).

[cobirds] Winter Wren, Loveland, Larimer
Hi All, Had a pretty Winter Wren (NOT Pacific) on the Big Thompson River trail this morning bobbing around some old downed logs about a chip shot away from the river itself. Gave very good looks and sang (not the angry chatter) when I wasn't in its sight. It's a new trail-list bird for me. I went back 1 1/4 hr. later and couldn't refind or hear it. If anyone wants specific directions, contact me directly, as it's a little complicated to explain simply. Between marker 2 and 3, though. Lots of other spring-singing birds around, but nothing else of real note. Elaine Coley, Loveland -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

Hi Folks, Don't know the value of this posting; however, there is what appears to be a Muscovy Duck on the west side of Lake Loveland the past 2 afternoons. If anyone is interested in looking for it, give me a call and I'll get you into the back of my friend's home on the west side of the lake. Someone posted that we should post the unusual and let others make up their minds as to value. Elaine Coley, Loveland 970-635-9095
[cobirds] Harris-hunting Sharpies
Hi All We have 2 Sharp-shinned Hawks in our area and the way they hunt reminds me of Harris' Hawks.

[cobirds] Osprey Family, Larimer County
Hi Cobirders, My granddaughter and I heard loud chirping and hollering this evening, and she looked up and we saw a young raptor and were able to identify it by an adult flying nearby. It was a very young Osprey. I've been seeing Ospreys around wilson Ave. the Big Thompson River often; however, no one seems to know where the nest might be. Does anyone know of an Osprey nest in this area? (Nick?) (Cole?) Elaine Coley Loveland Receive Notifications of Incoming Messages Easily monitor multiple email accounts access them with a click.
