You’re supposed to tie down that RTLO! I need that!

I got a rough legged hawk at clement park today for #270. Crazy story on that 
one. It’s in my EBird report. Wish I had my camera but observing the bird was 
definitely better in this case. Crazy stuff. 

Thursday I’ll be able to chase stuff. Maybe tomorrow afternoon but probably not

[cobirds] Chatfield State Park Douglas Co, Jefferson Co

Sorry for the late post,
This morning between 8 and 10 a.m. there were two Common Loons, two Pacific 
Loons, and a Red-throated Loon seen by three of us on the Douglas County 
side of Chatfield Res. Viewed from the sandspit and then closer views from 
the fisherman's pier. The RTLO was associating with the PALO's and 
eventually flew up high and over to the north, if they're not seen again at 
Chatfield perhaps look at S Platte Res just N of C-470.

On the Jeffco side we saw one Common Loon and 11 Red-breasted Mergansers in 
the Fox Run area. Black-legged Kittiwake was seen from the Massey Draw area.

[cobirds] Chatfield State Park - Afternoon report from Douglas County

2015-10-07 Thread Douglas Kibbe
As of about 2:30PM, all the notable birds were still visible from the marina 
sandspit.
However, a scope is recommended for good views. Fear not if you lack one as 
there have been many observers there with scopes and all will (or should) share 
views with you.
For those who somehow missed earlier reports, the notables included Red-necked 
Grebe, Ruddy Turnstone, Arctic, Common and Forster's Terns and a Sabine's Gull.

[cobirds] Chatfield State Park Red-Eyed Vireos 5/29/15

2015-05-29 Thread Francis Commercon
Hello,

While kayaking the flooded forest of Plum Creek, in Chatfield State Park
today, I found two singing Red-Eyed Vireos. The first was on the northeast
corner of the Plum Creek Picnic Area, and the other was about 200 meters
northeast of that in the forest. You could probably hear them singing if
you walked up to the water's edge.

Interesting how many birds are still very abundant even where the water
completely covers the understory. I found a nesting pair of House Wrens. I
didn't find any Chats or Towhees over the deep water, as I expected. I did
not find any Song Sparrows...

Cheers,

Francis Commercon, Douglas County, CO.

flooded out there is no swim beach, Sandspit, Kingfisher bridge, Plum Creek

[cobirds] Chatfield State Park - Fallout - Jefferson and Douglas Counties

2015-04-17 Thread Douglas Kibbe
As many of you know, spring snowfalls create conditions that often result in 
concentration of migrants along the foothills.
Yesterday (and I suspect today) such conditions existed in Chatfield State 
Park.  A partial list of yesterday's sightings include:  hundreds of swallows 
(mostly Tree),  bluebirds (mostly Mountain), and sparrows (mostly Vesper).   
Less common birds included:  Wilson's Snipe, American Pipits, Say's Phoebes, 
Sage Thrashers, Savannah and Brewer's Sparrows, and a single Eastern Bluebird 
and Audubon's Warbler.

Unable to find the Yellow-billed Loon on Chatfield Reservoir this afternoon, I 
settled for a drake Barrow's Goldeneye and two Common Loons near the 
northwestern picnic area ( it is near the northwest boat launch). Viewing 
conditions were marginal at best and the Y-b Loon could easily be too far from 
shore for me to ID it.

I went to look for the Red-necked Grebe at Chatfield, which I did not find, but 
I saw lot's of other Grebes. From the Douglas County side, I had around 32 
Eared Grebes in a group, then there was a separate group of 12 Pied-billed 
Grebe, and lastly another separate group of 30 Western Grebes. I counted 4, 
Common Loons on the Douglas County side also. While I was looking from the old 
Heron Rookery location, an adult Bald Eagle, sat in a Ponderosa Pine 15 feet 
from where I was standing. This female Bald seemed to care less about my 
presence.
Near the marina, there were 4, Common Goldeneye, and many American Coot, and a 
couple of Tree Sparrows. I visited the Park at 2pm.
 
Happy BIrding!

Hi Everyone-

 

Saturday 9/27 I visited Chatfield State Park. I saw a total of 5 Sabine's
Gulls (4 imm, 1 adult) east of the marina toward the mouth of Plum Creek. In
the woods along Plum Creek south of Plum Creek Picnic Area, I heard a
sapsucker sp. and a Gray Catbird. When I saw Joe Roller's e-mail about Bill
K and the shorebirds of Washington County, I drove straight over, and
happily, most of them were still there: 1 Am Golden-Plover, 2 Black-bellied
Plovers, 4 Killdeer, about 5 each of Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, 3
Baird's Sandpipers, 1 Wilson's Phalarope. Lots of ducks there, too (Mallard,
Blue-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler, Green-winged Teal). CR CC goes through
downtown Anton. CR 12 veers off of US 36 two miles east at CR EE; go 4 miles
east on CR 12 to CR JJ, stop at the big black mailbox.

[cobirds] Chatfield State Park Appearances, Jefferson and Douglas Counties

2014-09-11 Thread Douglas Kibbe
The much ballyhooed fallout of passerines appears to have fallen elsewhere.  At 
least Bear Creek Park, Marston Reservoir and Chatfield State Park bird 
populations appeared relatively unchanged this morning.
 
The saving grace, however, was the appearance of three species of water/shore 
birds at Chatfield Reservoir.
A Black Tern and Sabine's Gull graced the lake off the swim beach in Jefferson 
County this morning while a single Marbled Godwit was on the sand spit east of 
the marina in Douglas County.

[cobirds] Chatfield State Park: birding paradise lost?

2012-07-11 Thread Scott E. Severs
To Colorado Birders:

When I heard a couple of years ago that the water level at Chatfield
Reservoir might be raised by 12 feet, I immediately thought about the
incredible riparian area that would be lost to the Least Flycatchers
and American Redstarts and all the other amazing birds.

Well, the time has come to submit public comments (by August 7) on the
plan to increase water storage at Chatfield (and flood out the
riparian habitat, mudflats, etc.). This is not just a local issue but
a state issue of avian importance to all Colorado birders to comment
on. A riparian area of this significance will not be replaced in any
of our lifetimes and one of the top places to bird in Colorado (if not
the top) will be lost forever. If you haven't been there - I can't
recommend it more, a spring morning in that amazing cottonwood gallery
forest feels like being in a hardwood forest back east somewhere. But
that is just a portion of what could be lost from this birding
resource of Colorado.

Time is short, please write letters or sign the petition.

Here are important links for letters:

http://www.savechatfield.org/content/

http://www.denveraudubon.org/conservation/issues-campaigns/

Petition:

http://signon.org/sign/save-chatfield-state

Read more about this amazing birding place here:

http://coloradocountybirding.com/county/bird_a_county.php?name=Jefferson#558

Thank you to the unsung birders and ASGD working on this issue.
As Kenn Kaufman says: " . . . it is imperative that the modern birder
must be a conservationist also."

[cobirds] Chatfield State Park/ Douglas County

2010-12-27 Thread markchavez
This morning Tom Pollock and I decided to look for some of Joey's birds at 
Chatfield.  We were able to find the  Red-necked Grebe along with everything 
Tina had except for the Long-tailed Duck and Lesser Black-backed Gull.  We also 
got great looks at the Winter Wren found during the CBC.  Photos of the Winter 
Wren can be seen in the rare and uncommon gallery below:
