[cobirds] Hunting season on Eurasian Collared-Dove

2011-11-27 Thread Ira Sanders
Birders, Some time back there was a discussion on Cobirds about the hunting season on Eurasian Collared-Dove. As I recall, and I could be wrong about this as my memory doesn't always give same day service anymore, the discussion ended with the conclusion that there is a season on them and not an

I spoke with the sanitation district Wednesday to get more specific info on what they plan to do at the east end of the Canon City Riverwalk (sending it to me Monday). I asked if they would be working there over the long Thanksgiving week-end and they said they would not. Since they have so far j

I went over to Bittersweet Park in Greeley early this morning and saw one snow goose and one blue phase in the mob of thousands of geese, mostly cackling, some regular Canada Geese. There were lots of gulls, so you can't get careless about identifying the white geese. Also, saw some mallards and

[cobirds] Goose-fest at Dodd Res., Boulder County

2011-11-27 Thread William H Kaempfer
About mid-day today I had five different species of goose at Dodd Reservoir (west of CO 119 on Niwot Road; for best and safest viewing go to the parking lot at the NW corner). Among the white-cheeked geese, my guess was that lesser Canada Goose was most common with a smaller number of Richardso

This morning at Lathrop State Park we saw a lone Common Loon, 6 Western Bluebirds and a single Eastern Bluebird. We are scratching our heads wondering where all the Mountain Bluebirds are...they are usually so numerous at Lathrop this time of year...very odd. Back at the house we have a late Co

A re-visit to the Handicapped Fisherman's bridge early this am turned up the Pomarine Jaeger almost immediately; it was in flight for the entire 45 min- 1 hr that we stayed, except for one brief water landing. It entered into a couple or three skirmishes with gulls, but generally just flew long ci

I continued a nice visit to Colorado with a wonderful surprise this morning. I walked to get the Sunday paper at the "Other Side" restaurant on Mary's Lake Road on the west side of Estes Park. I always count birds when I do this. After collecting the paper I walked across Mary's Lake Road and

I put a backyard feeder out yesterday afternoon for the first time, and this morning a white winged dove was the second bird I saw. I'm relatively new to Colorado and don't have a sense of how unusual this one is, but it's on the CFO list of birds to report, so... Address is 210 Peterson Street, a
