Gene Rutherford and I did some night time birding late yesterday and early this
morning.
Up in the Wet Mountains, near Beulah, we heard 6 Flammulated Owls, 6 Common
Poorwills, 1 or 2 Long-eared Owls. These were heard on 4/27 (after 10pm). We
didn't hear or see any Northern Saw-whet Owls, whic

Stopped at Twin Lakes this morning. Found an eastern
phoebe calling and foraging along the irrigation ditch. From
Gunbarrel go to 63rd, turn on Natuilus Drive east, and go to Eaton

lake with water in it). I s
Hi everyone,
I led a beginner bird group this morning in Fort Collins, generally along
the Poudre River Trail just west of Riverbend Ponds Natural Area. Very
little in the way of migrant songbirds (or almost any songbird, for that
matter) this morning - the strong winds overnight seemed to supp
For the last several days, I have had a White-crowned Sparrow singing
softly almost all day long from within my spruce trees in front. I have a
small yard, but they come by every year in migration. This year, the bird
sounds quite tentative, as if practicing its song for the first time.

Hi all,
I led a DFO trip this morning to Prospect Park in Wheatridge, Jefferson County.
It was a beautiful morning, despite the temps being on the cool side. Passerine
migrants were pretty much non-existent besides Yellow-rumps, but we made up for
it with an eclectic mix of good sightings. High
A typical opening day at the Chatfield Banding Station - few birds but lots
of cheerful visitors, happy to be out enjoying a beautiful spring day.
Banded six birds - 1 Hermit Thrush and 2 Spotted Towhees (arriving right on
schedule) and 1 Common Yellowthroat (a full week earlier than its normal

At the MVNWR, misc. species in relatively light numbers - e.g., 8 Avocets and 5
Phalaropes, 2 Marsh Wrens, a Great-tailed Grackle, etc. I failed to mention 4

Started a 42 mile birding ride at Boulder Res where we spotted a Long
billed Curlew, Marbled Godwit, two Willets and an Am Avocet.
Continued to Lagerman res, which was quiet for shorebirds, but the
osprey nest is occupied. Not much at Clover Basin either. The Owl
nest in the rookery near Crane Ho
Hi COBirders,
Report for RMBO banding at Chico Basin Ranch for Friday (4/27) and Saturday
(4/28) (El Paso County, fee area)
Most days this week we got the distinct impression (again) that this is early
in migration. Slow starts, sometimes no birds until about 10 am, then some
small flocks mo
