Hello, Birders. A late report, but it don't matter 'cause the bird ain't goin' nowhere... On Sunday afternoon, Dec. 11th, Hannah and Andrew and I were scouting for the Boulder Christmas Bird Count (SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE. ALL COOL BIRDERS PARTICIPATE IN THE BOULDER CBC.), and we saw what I judged

Hello, Birders. Well! Nick Komar recently reported some interesting birds at Lake Loveland, Larimer County! But take note of Nick's cautious language. The birds were "mystery gulls." Although Nick attached exciting names (Nelson's, Vega, Western) to those mystery gulls, he also said that thos

Greetings All I thought I'd posted to COBIRDS about this, and if I have, I apologize for the duplication. It may have been Frontiers of ID. In any case, Great Black-backed x Herring Gull numbers are increasing, mostly in the Midwest as GBB Gull expands its range into the Great Lakes. What I don

[cobirds] John Martin Christmas Count Circle Count Week Birds

2011-12-13 Thread Duane Nelson
Birders, Despite the fact that open water is almost completely frozen, and it has been cold and snowy, I counted 98 Count Week bird species between 12/11 and 12/13 in the John Martin Reservoir CBC Circle. The number and variety of landbirds made up for the lack of waterbirds. I am hoping to e
