[cobirds] 3 Williamson's Sapsuckers and a Cassin's Vireo in Canon City's Lakeside Cemetery

2012-08-27 Thread SeEtta Moss

This afternoon I made a quick run out to Jackson to try my luck at the various goodies seen there in the past few days. I had given it a try last Thursday and struck out. This time I met David Greening, from Minnesota, on my way along the dam. Together we trekked out to the "finger" of water

[cobirds] late August birds, 08/23 - 08/27

2012-08-27 Thread Glenn and Laurie
Folks, During the past 5 days I along with others, have birded NE Colorado hotspots, several on multiple occasions. I can safely say... a) Late August is very birdy (158 species) and b) shorebird turnover at Prewitt and Jackson is fast and furious. I will start with shorebirds. Both Prewitt

Today, I decided to go to Jackson in search of the Little Gull, Buff-breasted Sandpiper, or even the Curlew Sandpiper. In the hot conditions, I ran into a birder from England staying in Fort Collins. I asked him if he had anything of interest, and he stated "maybe to you". He said he was sure
