[cobirds] Manitou Lake, Teller County - 58 species!!!

[Jeff J Jones]

I beat my Big Day Record of 56 species by 2 at Manitou Lake today with the
help of 4 Empidonax (Cordilleran, Hammonds, Dusky, Willow); all calling in
appropriate habitat.

 

Dave Elwonger birded with me this morning and helped me out and then I went
back after the rains this afternoon.

 

My previous record of 56 in a day at Manitou Lake Park (Fee area) was done
twice on the same day on May 18th, 2010 and 2014! Today I got 58 species.
Complete list below my signature.

 

Highlights were:

* Willow Flycatcher; seen both in morning giving fitz-bew song and
in afternoon calling. Only seen by me two other times here in 26 years.

* Hammond's Flycatcher; a recent new-comer to the big pines below
the dam on the west side of the creek. First sighting of one by me here was
last year. Today there were a few singing.

* MacGillivray's Warbler

* Lazuli Bunting

 

Not bad for a little mountain lake. Missed on so many common birds that I
could have easily gotten over 60. No chickadees (mtn and black-capped),
nuthatches (pygmy and white-breasted), mourning dove, woodpeckers, coot,
pied-billed grebe, etc. Still a great day.

[cobirds] Manitou Lake, Teller County - Black-crowned Night-Heron, Cinnamon Teal

[Jeff J Jones]

Manitou Lake, Teller County (Fee Area $6).

 

New arrivals include Black-crowned Night-Heron and Cinnamon Teal.

 

Looked for Rusty Blackbirds that over-wintered; but not found. Last seen,
that I am aware of, on March 23rd. 

 

The Night-Heron was found in the day-time roost tree that has been used for
the past couple seasons that I am aware of. This is best viewed at a
pull-off on the west side of Hwy 67, 350 yards south of the south end of the
marsh of Manitou Lake. Scan the tree line 300 yards to the west and about
350 yards south of this pullout to find a large live Ponderosa with many
dead branches along the lower two-thirds of the tree; approx. here
39°04'33.66" N 105°05'49.63" W. This beats my earliest record (4/16/2006)
for BCNH here by 8 days. 

 

Also, thought I briefly heard a Gray Catbird chattering in the willows
quietly; but was unable to confirm.

[cobirds] Manitou Lake, Teller County - Ice free; no Rusty Blackbirds

[Jeff J Jones]

After the windy night Sunday (> 90% frozen) night, Manitou Lake was 50% ice
free on Monday; and 100% ice free yesterday.

 

I haven't seen the Rusty Blackbirds since Sunday, March 23rd. So perhaps
they have moved on by now.

 

The usual waterfowl are starting to arrive now.

 

Of interest:

. Magpies completed nest

. Crows building nest

. Paired red-tailed hawks north of dam; but have not located nest
nor witnessed nest-building activities.

. Western Scrub-Jay first seen in 2011 keeping company with
Steller's Jays at FR339 where it crosses trout creek, seen again this past
weekend; still in company with Steller's Jays. This is its 4th season that I
have found it at this location; and no other scrub-jays around. I keep
looking for signs of a hybrid, but none seen yet.

 

28 species in all seen at Manitou Lake (does not include species seen at
FR339) so far this year. Complete list below with date of first sighting.

[cobirds] Manitou Lake, Teller County - 4 Black-crowned Night-Herons

[Jeff J Jones]

Had at least 4 Black-crowned Night-Herons flying around the marsh at the
south end of the lake after sunset tonight. The most I have ever seen up
here. Really neat to watch them circle the marsh on their broad wings giving
their distinctive 'woc' calls.

 

FOS species today at the lake:

 

. Black-crowned Night-Heron

. Spotted Sandpiper

. Northern Rough-winged Swallow

. Barn Swallow

. Broad-tailed Hummingbird yesterday at my house.

 

27 species in all. Complete list below.

 

Note: Manitou Lake is a fee area ($6 per car) and closes at or just after
sunset.

[cobirds] Manitou Lake, Teller County (early virginia rail)

[Jeff J Jones]

The lake is still 80% ice-covered, but melting fast. The beaver ponds to the
south in the marsh are mostly ice-free. 

 

There was a Virginia Rail calling incessantly near the boardwalk. This
sighting is the earliest I have for Manitou Lake by 36 days! Previous early
sighting is 4/28/2007. But my monitoring is not that rigid.

 

Also Red Crossbills and singing Cassin's Finches were present.

 

Am Crows were carrying sticks.

 

Complete list below.

 

Of note at my home:

. I have had about a hundred evening grosbeaks for the past month or
two. The males are in beautiful bright plumage. They are at my feeders all
day long. Or sitting in the trees calling constantly. I love their sound.

. Many singing Cassin's Finches - incredible.

. I have just about got one Steller's Jay to take peanuts from my
hand in the morning. I have to put it on the feeder right next to my head,
then he will take it, just inches from my head - but not out of my hand yet.
The rest won't get closer than 6 feet. But this individual is always the
first to come and get them. The others insist I move away before they
approach.

[cobirds] Manitou Lake, Teller County, Sage Thrasher and Field Sparrow

[Jeff J Jones]

I went back out yesterday afternoon to attempt to get a photo of the Field
Sparrow. Alas, where there was a group of 4 Spizellas (1 field, 1 brewer's
and 2 chipping), now there was only 3 - just the 2 chippie's and 1 brewer's.
The 4th was nowhere to be found.

 

I did get a few photos of the 3 Spizellas that I wouldn't mind getting some
feedback on. The photos are grainy (low light) but they show the important
field marks well enough I believe.

. Adult Spizella: first 7 photos; my guess is like Sibley's "pale
1st winter chipping sparrow"

o   Shows loral stripe - should make it a chippy

o   Broad median pale crown stripe

o   Strong covert pattern

o   Broad, at times, buffy supercilium

o   Gray unstreaked nape; 

o   I got no good pics of an exposed rump on any of these birds.

. Juv. Spizellas: pics 9-14; Brewer's or Chipping?

o   All pics of same bird; the first two show hint of loral stripe; while
the rest seem to show none at all.

 

Also, I did not realize that the sage thrasher can/does show buffy flanks in
fresh fall plumage! Not shown in Natl Geo, but shown in Sibley. I got and
included a photo of that; very low light.

 

Photos:

Thanks for any feedback on the Spizellas.

[Jeff J Jones]

4-5pm this afternoon at Manitou Lake in Teller County found 14 new year
birds for the lake; two of which were new lifetime Manitou Lake birds:
Townsend's Solitaire and American Pipit! 33 species in all. This puts the
total Manitou Lake species count for me in 23 years to 141 species. The
campground host there described to me what sounded like a great egret or
snowy egret that he might have seen earlier in the day. I have one sighting
of the former on 5/10/2009 and 4 of the latter from 4/26 to 6/1 from 2000 to
2010.

 

Highlights were:

Black-crowned Night-Heron (1)

American Dipper carrying food to nest

White-faced Ibis (2)

 

New species for the year at Manitou Lake: blue-winged teal, black-crowned
night-heron, white-faced ibis (2), sora, California gulls, northern
rough-winged and barn swallows, townsend's solitaire, starlings, am pipit,
vesper and white-crowned sparrows, common grackle.

[cobirds] Manitou Lake - Teller County - Swamp Sparrows not found.

[Jeff J Jones]

This weekend I was unable to relocate any swamp sparrows at Manitou Lake.

 

I did have a singing Am Dipper at the dam spillway. I also had a Virginia
Rail calling at the east end of the boardwalk, as well as a ruby-crowned
kinglet. The winter-plumaged eared grebes continue at the lake also.

[cobirds] Manitou Lake - Teller County

[Jeff J Jones]

This afternoon at Manitou Lake (Teller County, fee) there were dozens and
dozens of warblers (Yellow, Yellow-rumped and Wilson's) at the dam spillway.
Could not pick out an Orange-crowned however. All collecting flying gnats
and ants. A great study while standing on top of the dam walkway. Imms and
fall plumaged adults! So neat.

 

Had a Sora call briefly from the cattail marsh. Did not see any
black-crowned night-herons.
