[cobirds] Neotropic Cormorant at Smith SWA

2023-05-04 Thread mvjo...@gmail.com

Action is really picking up in the San Luis Valley.  

At Smith Res SWA there was a Neotropic Cormorant, posed on a rock not 100 
feet from a much larger Double-crested Cormorant. The Neotropic was about 
2/3rds the size of the nearby Double-crested. Bird had the smaller relative 
bill and white border on the gape, which was pointed. Tail was relatively 
longer than a Double-crested. If approved, it may be the first for the San 
Luis Valley. 

Another exciting feature was the fact that I saw 5 species of gulls on the 
lake today. The Herring Gull that I found a while back is still there, 
along with RB, Bonaparte's, Franklin's and a large gull that appears 
initially to be a 1st winter Lesser Black-backed Gull. 

Its a great time to be out there enjoying the new greenery and birds 
flitting in it!

Was back roosting on a boom at the marina. It just flew south but I think is 
still on the rez. Maybe on the water.

[cobirds] Neotropic Cormorant - Pueblo 3/25 & 3/27

2021-03-27 Thread Brandon

There has been a non-adult Neotropic Cormorant at the Pueblo West Gravel
Pit, in Pueblo County first seen on 3/25 and seen again on 3/27.  Photos
taken by several birders.  Seems to be around more in the mornings.  There
are lots of Double-crested Cormorants coming in to this pond as well

Good birding,

[cobirds] Neotropic Cormorant, Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Jaeger sp., and others - Barr Lake SP

2020-09-07 Thread Jack Bushong

Hi all,

Barr Lake was phenomenal this morning for migrants. I started off below the
dam, which had a Cassin's Vireo, Nashville Warbler, and early Brown Creeper
among the hordes of Wilson's Warblers. Also present were Hammond's, Dusky,
and Willow Flycatchers, Townsend's Warblers, and throngs of Wilson's
Warblers (I tallied 134 of them today).

I then went to boat launch to scan for gulls and terns. One of the first
birds I laid eyes on was a Neotropic Cormorant. It was between the boat
launch and the dam on a slender island. While looking at the cormorant
through my scope, a juvenile jaeger made several passes above the dam.
Given its robust flight and relatively large appearance, among other
things, I'm thinking Pomarine/Parisitic (leaning the former). Also in the
area was a nice flock of Stilt Sandpipers.

After this, I went to the nature center where the continuing Philadelphia
Vireo was providing great views. It was with a Warbling Vireo in the tall
deciduous trees at the entrance.

I then walked out onto the mudflat to search for Doug Faulkner's
Buff-breasted Sandpiper, and found it with a flock of Killdeer in the SE
corner of the lake. Other birds there included a diverse assortment of
waterfowl and a flock of 17 Red-necked Phalaropes. On the way back to the
parking lot, I saw a Pink-sided Junco among a mixed flock near the banding
station (apparently Colorado's first eBird record this fall).

Overall a great outing, although it was getting warm and smoky toward the
end.

Good Birding,
Jack Bushong,
Louisville, CO
