We did a bit of birding yesterday at Valco Ponds, Osprey Picnic Area and Swim Beach area, hoping the cold front brought new birds. It was overall quite slow. Of note, was a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker just west of the parking lot at Valco. North side of the river had a few Yellow-rumps, Wilson's

Re: [cobirds] Large flock of Sandhill Cranes, Fort Collins, Larimer Co.

Thanks, Matt! It would be cool if other birders farther south listen for this flock and post up to the minute reports as the flock tracks south! Then I can go outside at the precise moment they fly over chilly Denver and get back inside by the cozy fireplace right away! Joe Roller, Denver On

[cobirds] Sandhills over Loveland

Hi All, A large flock of Sandhill Cranes just flew over my house in SW Loveland near the Big Thompson River trail between Wilson andTaft, flying due south and craakling as they were flying. What a sight and sound -- something I've missed since we moved here from Montrose! Thanks for the heads

Re: [cobirds] Large flock of Sandhill Cranes, Fort Collins, Larimer Co.

Nancy heard probably the same flock around 10:30 to 10:45 am this morning here in the high foothills 40 miles northwest of Fort Collins but could not see them as we are in the clouds up here at 8000 feet.  She said the flock was heading southeast, which would take it toward Fort Collins.

The apparent surge in Evening Grosbeaks continues.  this week (monday) I had ~25 in my yard, the most ever in my 10 years of living here.  I've since been out of town, but this morning I heard the flock in the neighborhood, so presumably some of these birds are still hanging around. Arvind
