Re: [cobirds] Barr Lake Sunday

[Charlie Chase]

Over the last 10 years the Barr Lake CBC has between 124-424 Western
Meadowlark each count with an average of 272.
The Denver Urban count has between 1-72 with an average of 41 and many of
those from Rocky Mt. Arsenal.

Re: [cobirds] Barr Lake Sunday

[Arthur Bezuidenhout]

I have seen meadowlarks in all months of the year.
I think they do migrate but ours move south and are replaced by birds from
the north.
Attached are the summer and winter ebird maps.

Re: [cobirds] Barr Lake Sunday

[Patrick O'Driscoll]

Scouting parts of Denver and Aurora south of the airport after Christmas
for the Urban Denver CBC on New Year's a couple of years ago, I found a
flock of more than 25 Western Meadowlarks in grassy fields next to a big
new warehouse complex.

Re: [cobirds] Barr Lake Sunday

[Susan Rosine]

I just saw a flock of them two days ago, in extreme south Weld County. I
even got some good pictures of one of them.
They don't seem to sing much after the autumnal equinox, but they are
around all year.

Re: [cobirds] Barr Lake Sunday

[elena]

I have had western meadowlarks in he area of the Barr Lake CBC that I do- the 
large northern section that is mostly driving. I also have had them near my 
home on the Longmont CBC in Niwot in an agricultural property. I have also 
heard them sing, though they also call.

Re: [cobirds] Barr Lake Sunday

[Diana Beatty]

I think two years ago on my area of the Colorado Springs CBC I came across
a flock of 14 Western Meadowlarks together in one tree.  I was not used to
seeing them all together like that.

Re: [cobirds] Barr Lake Sunday

['Larry Modesitt' via Colorado Birds]

Hi Dave,

I see a few on Christmas Bird Counts, and during the winter. So it appears that 
the information you received is accurate. Some do and some don’t! 

Or maybe all do, and the ones in our area, Barr Lake for example, had migrated 
from farther north. 

In any case, they aren’t as likely to be perched on top of a mullein, singing 
their hearts out, and that will make them more difficult to detect.

[cobirds] Barr Lake Sunday / Adams

[Dave Cameron]

Struck out on the aforementioned Gray-cheeked at Barr yesterday, but the 
stretch from the visitor's center to the blind was extremely birdy and 
entertaining.  Highlights were an adult male Orchard Oriole, 3 Forster's 
Terns, a late female Common Merganser, a handful of Lincoln's Sparrows, 
scads of Bullock's Orioles, many Swainson's Thrushes, a pair of Eastern 
Kingbirds, and, on the ride out, an adult Bald Eagle sitting on a nest 
outside the park-- on the East side of E-470 at 120th.
