[cobirds] Likely Yellow-billed Loon, Cherry Creek SP (Arapahoe) Hi all, This 
afternoon around 4 PM, I saw a Mew Gull and possible Yellow-billed Loon from 
Cherry Creek's Lake Loop. The Mew Gull was swimming about halfway between the 
east shades and lake loop. It was at least a fourth mile from where I was 
standing, hence the quality of the photo. It was a small larus gull, its mantle 
was slightly darker than a Ring-billed Gull, its head was dainty and rounded, 
and it had a tiny and stubby bill. The loon was similar in size and shape to a 
Common Loon, including a very large bill. However, this bird had pale yellowish 
bill, no dark anywhere on the bill visible. It had a pale face, with no 
distinct eyering. Also, its back and neck was pale for a loon, almost brownish. 
It was swimming near the Mew Gull not too far from the east shades, but swam 
south to the south central part of the reservoir. I have several photos of this 
bird. I think they show the field marks, even though they are blurry. Please 
take a look at my ebird checklist, as I am having trouble uploading photos 
here. Any feedback on the Mew Gull or Yellow-billed Loon is appreciated. Here 
is my ebird checklist where photos can be seen :

[cobirds] Road conditions to Mitchek

2018-05-19 Thread Gwalbek
I'm hearing the roads coming down from Flagler to Mitchek are deceivingly 
sloppy. The road coming up from Wildhorse is in better shape.  I have also 
heard a couple of birders possibly had a quick glimpse of the Golden-crowned 
Warbler this morning.

[cobirds] Golden-Crowned Warbler, Kit Carson Co.

2018-05-15 Thread Gwalbek
Folks,

I just photographed a Golden-Crowned Warbler at Mitchek Ranch.  The ranch is 
private, but the bird was visible from Cheyenne County Rd 9, about a mile south 
of the Kit Carson / Cheyenne Co. line.  The folks living there are not the 
owners and can not grant permission to enter the property.  Since I am working 
out here, I will provide an update tomorrow morning.

I took the family snowshoeing up to Guanella Pass, from the road closure to the 
top of the pass.  About half way up we encountered 14 Bohemian Waxwings working 
through the conifers at about 11,300 feet.  Also of interest was a Turkey 
Vulture high above the pass and several Pine Grosbeaks.  We did not find any 
ptarmigan.
