[cobirds] American Bittern

[Karen Drozda]

I can assure you, from the shade of red of my eyes, I could not find the 
American Bittern as of 1330 today. I looked for 2 hours. The winds were 
calm, so the cattails were still. The east side of the marsh is being 
dredged, and they are doing road construction on MLK Blvd. If anyone gets 
on it again, please post. I live a short distance from there. Thanks.

[cobirds] American Bittern Update

['Egret' via Colorado Birds]

The Bittern was last recorded on Ebird by Aaron Driscoll on Saturday at 4:15 
pm. I saw it earlier and returned at 5 to try for a photo. I did a quick lap 
around the lake Monday at 4:15 and today at 1. I did not see it.
It has been on Memorial Lake in El Paso county.

[Gary & Sharon]

The Boulder Bird Club observed an American Bittern today at 11:25 AM. It flew 
out of the cattails on the south end of the marsh (parking lot side) across to 
the edge of more cattails on the south east side.

[cobirds] American Bittern continues at Reservoir Ridge NA (Larimer)

[John Shenot]

An American Bittern was calling Friday evening at Reservoir Ridge, after 
7:30pm. Possibly earlier but it was windier earlier. I heard this same bird 
(presumably) LAST Saturday, also in the evening. It had been previously 
reported on eBird by other birders who may or may not follow COBIRDS.

Reservoir Ridge NA has multiple parking areas. This bird could be heard from 
the east-west trail that starts at the Overland Trail parking lot. It was in 
the reeds around the pond that is south of the trail about 0.5(?) miles from 
the parking lot.

We don't get many bitterns in Larimer County. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stay on the 
trail. Don't approach the pond. Hearing the bird is good enough. Don't make me 
regret posting here, which I do with some hesitation but with thanks for all of 
you who share so much information here.

Also: bobolinks are present here in numbers, and some other lovely birds, but I 
didn't find the Dickcissels reported yesterday morning.

[cobirds] American Bittern on RBA

[Joyce Takamine]

American Bittern is not normally considered rare and on the RBA.
But the recent report of one in Archuleta county was a first for the
county so I included it on the RBA.  When a bird is a new county
record and I know it, then I include it on the RBA and indicate it is
a country record.  We do have county listers.  Another recent county
record is Black-chinned Hummingbirds in Gilpin County.  We may have
another of Eastern Phoebe in Rio Grande but I will have to check on that.

[cobirds] American Bittern

[Kyle Medina]

I saw that the American Bittern was on rare list for Colorado. I was 
photographing at Walden Ponds on May 12 and was able to photograph two 
American Bittern. I have not been there since that day. They were 
photographed at the Osprey nest of Walden Ponds.

[cobirds] American Bittern at Sawhill Ponds in Boulder

[Jamie Simo]

Lifer!  I heard and saw an American Bittern at Sawhill Ponds this 
afternoon.  First I heard the gulping and then I saw the bird standing on a 
little hillock.  When you park at Cottonwood Marsh it was at the 2nd pond 
on the left as you walk past the sign for Sawhill Ponds.

[cobirds] American Bittern- Crow Valley CG -

[Doug Kibbe]

I managed to miss everything of note Cathy found at Crow Valley but did hear 
and see the American Bittern in the flooded willows upstream of the campground.

Subject: [cobirds] Eastern Wood Pewee- Crow Valley CG - and around Weld

 

For some reason cobirds does not like me today!  Third time trying to post 
this...

 

Crow Valley was filled with normal breeding birds and few migrants this AM.  
Best bird was an Eastern Wood-pewee, which was silent until I played a 
recording, at which point it vocalized in response, supporting the physical 
traits of very pale chest (almost no vest), pale all orange lower mandible, and 
two uniformly bright (almost white) wingbars.  It also shows the slight 
cocked-tail pose typical of Eastern per ABA article 
(http://www.aba.org/birding/v40n5p34.pdf).  I uploaded a couple of photos at: 
https://www.flickr.com/photos/aphelionart/

 

Other birds of interest include female Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Northern 
Waterthrush, and a pair of wood ducks (maybe only notable because I have never 
seen them here).  On the whole not many warblers there today.

 

I cruised through WCR 59 ponds, loloff, lower latham, Stewart's, and Bebee Draw 
and although a good number of species I really didn't turn up anything truly 
noteworthy at any of those locations.

[cobirds] American Bittern -- Lake Estes/Larimer

[Gary Matthews]

Scott Rashid and I were quite surprised to see an American Bittern at Lake
Estes this evening.  Fortunately a young fisherman asked us what that bird
was that had been standing in the same spot for an hour.  It was standing
on the rocky east shore of the Big Thompson River as it enters Lake Estes.
 It was readily visible for the walk bridge over the river.  We believe
this is the first record of an American Bittern at Lake Estes.  In addition
we saw our first Willet, Brown Thrasher and Common Yellowthroats for the
year at the lake.

[cobirds] American Bittern, Solitary Sandpiper - Lower Latham

[mike]

Thursday evening Doug Kibbe and I stopped by Lower Latham on our way  
to go owling and were rewarded with a First of the Season (FOS)  
American Bittern,  a lone Solitary Sandpiper, and a couple of American  
Avocets.   There were good numbers of Northern Harriers, but we didn't  
spot any Short-eared Owls.
