[cobirds] White-winged Crossbill, Mesa Co - 1 Feb

While cross-country skiing from the skyway trailhead on the Grand Mesa (Mesa County side) on Saturday I heard what I thought was a singing White-winged Crossbill (WWCR). Today, I went back with my recording equipment and, luckily, refound a singing WWCR fairly close to where I heard them yesterday

[cobirds] Re: New Meadowlark species ?

I'm fairly sure there are a few recent accepted records of "Lilian's" Meadowlark in Colorado.  I documented "Lilian's" Meadowlark from Baca County and Pueblo County, and these have been accepted by the Colorado Birds Records Committee.  The Pueblo County birds were photographed with food, probab

[cobirds] Christian's TV coming home to roost!

I just saw a Turkey Vulture fly over my home in SE Boulder; this is certainly the same TV that Christian Nunes reported yesterday at Cherryvale and South Boulder Road which is only about two miles away. The irony is that Christian live only a block away. Bill Kaempfer Boulder --~--~-

[cobirds] New Meadowlark species ?

[cobirds] Bald Eagle - Denver - Sloan's Lake

As I was just finishing up a run before noon today, I decided to swing by Sloan's lake and see what was dabbling in the ice free areas. Just as I was approaching, the hoards of shovelers and canada geese took to the skies. I found out why when I got to the shore. An adult Bald Eagle was on the

[cobirds] a gull photo page

Hello all, Ever since the occurrence of the possible Slaty-backed Gull in Boulder this past fall, I've been a little frustrated at the lack of sites on the web with lots of pictures of gulls to look through. There are a few out there, but those mostly concentrate on certain gulls that are intere
