Re: [cobirds] Two late nestings at Littleton, Arapahoe Co

[Jared Del Rosso]

Yesterday, I watched a Red-tailed Hawk remove a dead branch from a 
neighborhood cottonwood (Centennial in Arapahoe Co). Taking off, the bird 
deftly switched the stick from its beak to its talons, mid-flight. Quite 
impressive, but I was left wondering if this isn't rather early (or really, 
really late) for nest building activities for a Red-tailed? The Birds of 
the World database doesn't suggest this should be happening now. Perhaps 
some very early rehearsal?

Setting up for banding at Barr Lake this morning.  Greeted at the parking
lot by a just fledged family of Western Wood-Pewee.  Two young, still not
fully feathered but fledged balls of wild looking feathers were yelling
constantly for their parents' attention.I couldn't tell if they were
yelling for food or just the chaos and excitement of first flights.

Re: [cobirds] Two late nestings at Littleton, Arapahoe Co

[Eric DeFonso]

I too came across a Broad-tailed Hummingbird female sitting on a nest just
2 days ago in Boulder County, at around 7200 ft. I assume there were eggs
present, but couldn't check since the nest was up a tall power pole. I also
assume the verdant terrain surrounding the site is what's encouraging these
late breeding (2nd brood?) attempts.

Re: [cobirds] Two late nestings at Littleton, Arapahoe Co

[Scott Somershoe]

To add to David's post, although decidedly less interesting, there's an
active House finch nest next to my house with noisy nestlings. There was a
Barn Swallow nest with 2 young 1-2 days from fledging at Clement Park on
Friday. I haven't gone back to check to see if they fledged. They seemed to
be pretty late nests. These birds are all in Littleton, Jefferson County.

[cobirds] Two late nestings at Littleton, Arapahoe Co

[David Suddjian]

On 7/27 I found a female Broad-tailed Hummingbird at a new nest in a spruce at 
Littleton Cemetery, the first hummer nest I’ve found there. Since then she has 
been sitting on the nest, apparently on eggs (can’t see in), and she was 
sitting yet today. This suggests maybe at least 18-19 days of incubation which 
is at the outside end of the norm, and the nest is late for a nest with eggs 
for this species. 

Two fresh juvie Cooper’s Hawks appeared begging at St Mary Church along S. 
Prince St. this morning. They weren’t around earlier and seemed pretty new. I 
see most Cooper’s families fledging by early to mid-July. I hadn’t had any 
other families in the greater neighborhood area there this year.
