Cobirds:
An update on dickcissels (did I spell that right?) in
Boulder County. There is another dickcissel male actively singing
along 75th street about 400 yards south of the Sawhills Ponds turnoff
on the East side of 75th street. Last weekend I counted 4 individual
males singing
Cobirders and John T,
Dickcissels used to be just about as common as meadowlarks in the 1950's
and 1960's. I would drive west along what is now I-70 across Kansas and
into Colorado. After leaving the forested areas in eastern Kansas, we
would continue west across open country and hear,
Brenda asked me to post the following to COBIRDS:
Has anyone had experience with bluebirds showing neurological damage? Just
last weekend, for the 4th time in about 6 years, I came across a bluebird
showing neurological damage (unable to stand, wings spread, falling forward on
its face).
CoBirds,
I saw a Dickcissel yesterday on the western unit of Pella Crossing OS
(Hygiene). It was on the NW corner of the property singing from a small
snag. When a Cowbird arrived it retreated to the adjacent fallow horse
pasture. This spot is very close to the intersection of Hygiene and Crane
While out biking with my wife yesterday (June 20) we passed a few places with
Dickcissels and Bobolinks.
First was along N 61st St south of McCall Lake and the Ute Hwy near the
Winter/Pacific Wren Bridge. There was one singing Dickcissel south and west of
the bridge.
Second was along Hygiene
All,
I have mistakenly made (and corrected) a data entry error for my eBird report
from Colorado National Monument in Mesa county on Tuesday, June 19th.
I have removed the Grace's Warbler that we reported seeing near the High Point
sign. We try to be accurate, but sometimes we do make errors.
What a day for woodpeckers. We saw five species travelling from San Isabel to
Beulah on CO Highway 78 today.
Just as we turned off CO Hwy 165 near San Isabel we saw two Northern Flickers.
Three-and-a-half miles further up the road we got fabulous views of a male
Williamson Sapsucker. A mile
A few of us went up to N Park Friday to help a bit with the RMBO ColonyWatch
counting and enjoyed a visit with a group to a Legacy Land Trust ranch in
Jackson Co. Then Mary Burger and I went into RMNP on the west side Sun and
encountered 50 mph wind and 90s. So, we got in limited birding on Sun
I went to Pueblo Mountain Park to see the Acorn Woodpeckers and immediately
found one at the location described in the CO Rare Bird Alert. I also
saw one at a similarly pock-marked dead ponderosa next to the creek just
west of the horseshoe building.
While hiking around the park I found
This morning I found the time to run my Boulder County BBS route which runs
from the west of the old Mapleton Hospital in Boulder to Gold Hill, Ward and
Beaver Lake Reservoir. As such, it runs through many life zones from lower
foothills through a variety of forest types and ends by a large

As an addendum to Kay's nice note and photo exhibit, I want to draw
attention to the photos she took of the flock
of Greater Sage-Grouse we stumbled across one morning along County Road
34. This is south of Walden
and described well in the CFO county birding
I solved the mystery of the radically decreased Lesser Goldfinch numbers at
my thistle feeders this summer compared to previous years! It finally
dawned on me after seeing a similar post on NEBirds that maybe the reason is
cuz I have been finishing up the very OLD bag of thistle seed. That has
12 matches
