Re: [cobirds] Varied Thrush - Douglas

Hugh and COBirders, I have been working with eBird data a lot recently trying to make a birding calendar (ever since I mentioned it a while back), so I found the Varied Thrush comments from Hugh to be very interesting. Should we be seeing Varied Thrush showing up now or is this early or late?

[cobirds] Varied Thrush - Douglas

A Varied Thrush has come to a backyard in eastern Douglas County since Wednesday. Very shy, it skitters away from jays, magpies, and crows, and it doesn't condescend to share its perch with chickadees or nuthatches. It does not associate with robins. [The homeowner requests anonymity; in order t

[cobirds] Lake County Bushtits

Lake County, 10-24: a flock of about 10 Bushtits near the South Elbert Trailhead parkinglot this morning became my 200th species for the county. Hadn't previously seen this species this high, about 9500'. Tim Kalbach, Leadville, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the G

[cobirds] Eastern Bluebird, Georgetown, Clear Creek County 10/23

Yesterday, northeast of Georgetown on CR 306,39.739237,-105.683337, in a flock of 6-8 Western Bluebirds I spotted at least one Eastern Bluebird. There might have been a second, but they were really skittish and it was hard to get a good scope view. At first they were right next to the road, but

[cobirds] Estes Park Nashville Warbler

I saw the Nashville Warbler briefly at 10:10 this morning. I had birded Lake Estes from 8:30 - 10:00 in the nasty cold and very windy weather. I had given up and was heading back to my car a little after 10:00 when the wind let up a bit, so I decided to go back and have one more look at the litt

Hi birders, Sorry for the late report. I heard and observed a Swamp Sparrow yesterday AM at Coot Lake (63rd St. N of Hwy 119). It was along the trail on the north side in the wooded marsh. Its call was ringing loudly across the wetlands. Best, -- Scott Scott Severs Longmont, CO http://groups.y

[cobirds] sandhill crane east boulder county

Re: [cobirds] Nashville or Orange crowned warbler? (pictures)

Hi Bill et al.: The bird in question is undoubtedly an Orange-crowned Warbler, for the following reasons: 1) it has a dark eyeline behind the eye; 2) the eye ring is broken into eye arcs (the extensiveness of the eye arcs is probably due to photographic effect); 3) the flanks are gray with a
