[cobirds] Noethern Parula still present, Adams County
The Northern Parula is still present as of 9:30 am at 78th avenue on the S. Platte River. It is exactly where Patrick O'Driscoll reported it yesterday, flying between the line of trees near the North Water & Sewer plant and the trees along the river, south of the parking lot. It is with a small flock of Black-capped Chickadees and a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and it stays high in the trees.

[cobirds] Swan at Barr Lake, Adams County
. Today Tim and I braved the 23 degree temperature & scoped Barr Lake at about 8:30 am. Sorry for the late post. Near the flock of 45 Pelicans across the lake to the west was a swan, swimming alone. It had a small yellow area on its face in front of the eye, with a black bill, but U vs. V shape could not be determined at this distance. Probably the yellow area makes it a Tundra Swan, but I hope others can confirm this. Also of note were at least 24 Bald Eagles, clustered near one another on the ice in the center.

[cobirds] Massive waves of white-cheeked geese at Barr Lake, Adams county
Today at 10:50 am, about 12 waves of white-cheeked geese came into Barr Lake from the south. We had previously seen only about 125 Canada Geese on the reservoir. Each wave was 80 to 100 geese. One lonely Snow Goose was mixed in. Since the lines were very wavy and disorganized and not v-shaped, we are suspecting Cackling Geese. Welcome back!

[cobirds] Sandhill crane flyover at Barr Lake, Adams County
Yesterday Feb. 22 at 8am, three Sandhill Cranes flew over Barr Lake, making their characteristic call. I notice that several people reported 3 flying over on Feb. 2, but none since then.

[cobirds] Large black-mantled gull at Pelican Point, CCSP, Denver
Reply to Steve Rash. Yes, it does look like a Kelp Gull. My husband and I spent 20 minutes staring at a very dark black-mantled gull through our scope yesterday around 1pm.He was standing in shallow water, but we saw yellowish legs when he finally scratched his head. We reported it as a Lesser Black-backed Gull, but we were very troubled by the complete lack of streaking on the head and neck and by the very black mantle. It had a pure white head. Also, the size was about 50% larger than the nearby Ring-billed Gulls, which is not consistent with a Lesser Black-backed Gull at 21 inches. Sadly, no photos. Some gull expert needs to go to Pelican Point.

[cobirds] Ross's geese at Frederick Rec Center, Weld County
Tim & I visited the reservoir in Frederick at 11:40 am today after reading the 2/24 posting by Bill Kaempfer & were astounded by the number of white-cheeked geese. We estimated about 8000, and then another 1 or 2000 flew in. They were on the ice & also in a small area of open water. One Snow Goose was sitting on the ice when we arrived, and then 2 Ross's geese and 2 Snow Geese(white morph) flew in with the white-cheeks and stayed near each other. We were sure of the ID because we could see the grin patch on the larger Snow Geese when all 4 were in the same binocular field. Quite a spectacle. Candice E.

[cobirds] Burrowing Owls and security guards, Adams county
Today at 10 am my husband and I got out of our car on 96th Avenue near DIA and briefly saw 2 Burrowing Owls. We used our spotting scope & we noticed a couple of oil company trucks not too far away from the burrows. We drove on & returned about 20 minutes later. At the same spot was a HSS security vehicle, which pulled up next to us & told us we had to move on. We protested that we were only birdwatchers, but the woman officer kept yelling until we closed our windows. She then harassed another car driven by a birder with binocs across the road. Just a warning! I don't think they have any jurisdiction over the public highway, but I remain open to education. Candice E.

[cobirds] Blackpoll Warbler, First Creek Trail, Denver County
A male Blackpoll Warbler is feeding in the small trees just west of the new airport transit line, where a small wetland exists, as of 8:30 am today. Thanks to the recent post which alerted us to the existence of this trail. Also two Plumbeous Vireos, a Common Yellowthroat, and numerous Yellow Warblers in this most unlikely & noisy location.

[cobirds] Red-necked Phalarope at CR 59 Pond, Weld County
Today at Weld CR 59 pond there were 3 Wilson's Phalaropes accompanied by a slightly smaller bird with a red neck extending down onto the breast & a distinct white throat patch and black cap, which we think was a Red-necked Phalarope. As many as 150 of these were reported from this pond several years ago by Bill Schmoker, so one may not be so unusual! There were also 3 Marbled Godwits, Black-necked Stilts, Avocets, Long-billed Dowitchers, and Yellow-headed Blackbirds.

[cobirds] Pawnee Grasslands; Weld County
Amazing weather for a drive on the prairie. At Crow Valley Campground we found the previously reported Red-bellied Woodpecker excavating a tree. A lone Orange-crowned Warbler was nearby. On the Birder's Route we almost ran over 5 McCown's Longspurs sitting on the road, then 3 Chestnut-collared Longspurs out beyond Stop 4. 3 Burrowing Owls were in the prairie dog colony near Stop 4. On our way up we had more "birds in the road" at Lower Latham where 2 Sandhill Cranes were courting in the road and vocalizing. There was no other car on the grassland besides ours, so a birder's dream.

[cobirds] Why did the pine grosbeak eat in the road? Larimer County
Yesterday we drove up Fall River Rd. in RMNP, and near the top where the road levels out we saw 2 male and 1 female pine grosbeak eating something in the dirt roadbed. (We also saw a male female at Lake Irene, in a tree). Then returning to our cabin in Allenspark at 8700 ft. elevation we saw 2 females who were also eating in the middle of a dirt road. This location is where we have seen a bird in the road in July of the last 2 years, so possibly breeding nearby. Can anyone suggest what they find to eat? We considered crushed pinecones, but there are none on the tundra.

Just before the tree with the owlets near the exit was a Swainson's thrush. Several Say's phoebes and western kingbirds were present and 4 species of swallows on wires near Lake Ladora.

[cobirds] Bald eagles on nest at Rocky Mt. Arsenal NWR, Adams county
Today at 11 am at Rocky Mt. Arsenal NWR, the nest near the eastern boundary in the treeline was occupied by 2 adult bald eagles. They were observed by several of us through a scope to apparently be mating--a delayed Valentine's Day for them. Also a large flock of redheads and another of canvasbacks are present on Lake Ladore, in numbers larger than recently reported.

[cobirds] Harris's sparrows at Chatfield Arb, Jefferson County
Birding today at Chatfield Arboretum with Lynn Wilcoxson's DFO group we saw 3 Harris's sparrows, 1 adult and 2 first-winter birds. They were close together low to the ground in a bush near the north end outlet of the western-most pond, right near the trail. They cooperated for 10 minutes, then flew up into a tree above us in a beautiful display.

[cobirds] Light morph red-tailed hawk at RM Arsenal, Adams County
A few minutes ago Tim I spotted a red-tailed hawk sitting on a pole, then soaring, at 64th Havana Street on the Rocky Mt. Arsenal NWR. The tail was quite red, but there was no visible belly band, and its back was extensively streaked with white. Its head was pale, and the patagial bar was barely visible. Krider's morph? The rest of the Arsenal had few ducks, but one hooded merganser has arrived. There were over 30 meadowlarks. Candice E.

[cobirds] Sandhill cranes over Park Hill,Denver County
At 8:30 am today we were driving north on Monaco Blvd near 26th Avenue and saw 4 sandhill cranes flying in a half-V formation to the south. Could not hear them from inside the car. We did not believe it until we checked eBird and found sightings yesterday at Lower Latham as well as a post on CO birds today from the San Luis Valley that some arrived this weekend. It is early, since most sightings on eBird are after mid-September. Candice E.

[cobirds] Spring in Wild Basin,RMNP,Boulder County
The Birder's Trail near the entrance to the Wild Basin area of RMNP was 48 degrees and rainy yesterday at 9 am, but very birdy for this location. 25 species in 1.5 hours. Nothing rare, but the great horned owl who flew from a tree is unusual there. Also saw 2 American pipits, a red-necked sapsucker, a pair of brown creepers, many broad-tailed hummingbirds, and Wilson's, MacGillivray's and yellow-rumped warblers Candice E.

[cobirds] Golden eagle, Rocky Mt Arsenal,Adams County
Today at Rocky Mountain Arsenal NWR we saw an adult golden eagle harassing a flock of over 300 ring-billed gulls near the Havana Ponds area. He made a couple passes and then flew away when chased by a brave Swainson's hawk. In the same vicinity we saw a peregrine falcon fly over the fields,and I am told the Kingerys also saw him on Wednesday. There are 19 white-faced ibis on the wetland, but only a couple avocets and 3 spotted sandpipers remain. Candice E.

[cobirds] Fallout at Rocky Mt. Arsenal NWR

Estimates are 150 chipping sparrows, 50 vesper, 150 lark sparrows, 100 lark buntings, 15 white-crowned, and about 3 clay-colored. At least 60 mourning doves were on the ground lining a dirt road. There were 30 female yellow-headed blackbirds mixed in with about 25 Brewer's blackbirds near the entrance gate. On a small tree near the gate was a juvenile great horned owl. Quite a spectacle!

[cobirds] Jumbo and Prewitt Reservoirs
My husband Tim and I drove up to see the snow geese that Joey Kellner reported on Feb.5, and yes, there were uncountable snow and Ross's geese, which he estimated at 9000. On Red Lion SWA there were several hundred white-faced geese, with 13 greater white-fronted geese mixed in and 10 snow geese. No tundra swans were found, but they could be huddled in the middle of 9000 snow geese! Few gulls out too far to identify with any accuracy. 2 bald eagles sitting on the ice at Jumbo, and one golden eagle on I-76 approach. Prewitt is fully frozen,but 2 blue heron flew up, so must have some open water we couldn't see. Several harriers, ferruginous, and broad-winged hawks were seen around the Reservoir area. Candice E.
