[cobirds] Migrants, Greenlee Preserve and Wanaka Lake area, Lafayette, Boulder Co.

CObirders, Diane Carter and I went to this area hoping for a warbler-fall out after the NW winds of yesterday. It was quite cold, even at 8 am, and nothing was moving or chipping except for Wilson's Warblers, which seemed to be everywhere. Finally, other species emerged and a partial list is

[cobirds] Chico Basin Ranch Tuesday

Hi COBirders, If you haven't heard about the landscaping project at CBR this summer, this is just a warning - it looks very different around the banding station. A crew has been destroying most of the olives outside the traditional grove, so that as of today, no olives stand between the

I am posing this as a question rather than a sighting with any great degree of certainty, if anyone could advise me on whether a Winter Wren has any degree of likelihood in Colorado in the first week of September, I would appreciate it. This afternoon at apx. 2:30 pm I was walking along the

[cobirds] fire birds

I had the same thought as Todd D, seeing a common nighthawk swoop over our yard Monday afternoon as the smoke clouds were roiling up (hadn't seen a CoNi here for weeks): have others noticed possible displacements from the foothills? Of course, this would all be pure speculation: I saw two CONIs

[cobirds] Baca Co. Sept. 4

I really swore I was going to stay in Kansas on this last trip to SW Kansas but somehow we ended up in the Cottonwood/Carrizo Canyon area for a few hours last Saturday afternoon. There were not too many noteworthy migrants but we did have a Cordilleran Flycatcher near the picnic area. About
