[cobirds] No observations; crane alert

I think this current cool front is enough to kick down an early sandhill crane flight...so we should look and listen high up today and tomorrow. Karl Stecher Centennial -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group. To post to this group,

Re: [cobirds] White-throated Sparrow, Pueblo County

Oops -- reposting in proper form, no additional information: I am currently seeing a White-throated Sparrow, a tan-striped adult, in my yard in Pueblo West. I'm getting very good looks at it from 12-15 feet away through a window, and was able for a short time to compare it to an immature

[cobirds] Prothonotary Warbler

I hope this doesn't appear to be a broke record but it has become a mission to measure the staying power of this beautiful bird. When I started my walk through the bird sanctuary this morning it was cold, about 46, and very overcast. There wasn't much activity. However I noticed a small duck in

[cobirds] Dixon Reservoir, Larimer County

The Northern Parula was (still) at Dixon Reservoir this morning (assuming it's the same one!). I saw it in the same general location, in the brush and low in the trees just north of the dam, at around 8:30. I had not seen it earlier this week, but each of the now three times I've seen it was

[cobirds] Caspian Terns, Baseline Res. Boulder

There were three Caspian Terns on one of the sandbars at Baseline Reservoir about 10:30 this morning. A couple from Wisconsin pointed them out, but had they had to leave before I got their names. It seems a little odd that there are still Am. White Pelicans there and Juncos have arrived in my

[cobirds] bobolink, Conejos County;pine grosbeak, Rio Grande County

Today, 9/29, a Bobolink was flying low with 6 Mountain Bluebirds, on dry grassland on lower Cat Creek in Conejos County - quite a surprise. At about 9,500 el., there was a Pine Grosbeak in Rio Grande County. Several Gray Jays at about 10,000 -10,5000 el. in Conejos County and 4 Clark's

re: [cobirds] Caspian Terns, Baseline Res. Boulder (apology)

Cobirders, I just wanted to apologize for omitting my signature in the earlier post(s?) about the Caspian Terns. I was having problems posting from my iPhone. By the time I realized what had happened, I had already sent two posts and thought I ought to wait until I got home to make another

[cobirds] Sprague's Pipits, Boulder Co

Hello everyone, I found 2 SPRAGUE'S PIPITS in Boulder County today. Both were in very separate places. Both were in inaccessible areas to birders. They were found inside current Burrowing Owl Closures. Both areas currently have Burrowing Owls present, so birders are S.O.L. if they want to go

[cobirds] Sprague's Pipits

Christian, I want to thank you publically on Cobirds for being tough! Well for finding these great birds, but most of all for laying it on the line to people. Everyone else please respect what Christian has said in his message about rules to follow when looking for these birds. When

Fwd: [cobirds] Sprague's Pipits

Christian, Great job in 1) finding the birds, 2) describing the behavior expected of birders on protected land, and 3) giving people some education on how to find and partially ID the birds from their behavior. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the good of all of us that nobody violates the

[cobirds] RMBO Barr Banding Station Update, 9/29/11

It was nice to get at least 1 cooler day! Had 2 FOS/unusual species for us. Started the day with a Red-eyed Vireo. Then, mixed in with our apparently never-ending supply of Chipping Sparrows, we found a Field Sparrow. A new in-the-hand bird for me! Here's the rundown of today's 41 new birds

[cobirds] Caspian Tern: Boulder- Panama Res

Greetings All, I spent an arduous day hitting various spots in Boulder and Weld County Shorebirds seem to have sped off in front of the cold snap Panama Res had EXCELLENT viewing at sunrise, as the sun is at least partly behind you as you look at the main mudflat area, and heatwaves are

Re: [cobirds] Sprague's Pipits, Boulder Co

Another possible place to look for pipits would be the Mayhoffer trail (trailhead on the E side of 66th, near the intersection with Marshall road.)  You can't leave the trail, but it goes right over the top of Lake Mesa, within easy sight of the pipit site on Davidson Mesa.
