I just watched the adult Iceland Gull fly from the water below the dam to the

We have had a flock of about 20 Common Redpolls at our feeders every day for at
least the last week. We also have witnessed nearly daily visits from a
Northern Shrike, preying on our feeder birds, usually juncos. This morning,
the shrike was successful in catching a redpoll, taking advantage
Hi all,
The Common Redpolls reported by Sparks last week were still present at the
feeders behind the Discovery Museum in Fort Collins. It wasn't obvious how
many individuals are in the flock (or gallup, which is what iBird pro
says is the correct term for a group of them) - at any time there
Hi all:

First, I want to thank all the participants that came to help with the count.
They all did a great job and every group contributed multiple species that were
not found in other areas. And thank you to all the people who help with the
CBCs!
Currently the total species count sits
I checked on this redpoll flock between 1 and 2 pm, and the flock has
apparently increased in size to 40+. I received a tip about a pale one and
indeed there were some birds at the pale end of the Common Redpoll spectrum. I
will look at my photos to see if any may appear too pale for the Common
Good Evening and Happy Holidays!! As the long-time compiler of these two CBCs,
I regret having to announce that I will be UNable to be in Elkhart (count is
SATURDAY 12/29) andKenton (SUNDAY 12/30 count date) for these two counts this
year . . . I believe that there are
Sorry for the late post, but I didn't realize that my friends were serious
when they sent me a picture of a small owl that flew into their house
Monday just NW of Garrison and Chatfield in Littleton, Jeffco. They showed
us the pictures today, and it was a real owl! It flew around their house
I believe that I (we - 2 other birders were present) saw a Hoary Redpoll at
the Disvovery Center at 10:50 for about 5 minutes. About 50 Common
Redpolls were present when the gal said there is a really white one. We
all looked at it and it was obvious without binocs which one she was

COBirders,
Today a member of the Arkansas Valley Audubon Chapter donated a set of
both volumes of Bailey Niedrach's BIRDS OF COLORADO (1965) to our chapter
to be used for fund-raising purposes. After a summary Google search, I find
the prices listed by sellers to be all over the map. The
I finally am getting around to posting some preliminary results for the Ft.
Collins CBC held Saturday Dec. 15th. The Fort Collins CBC was great with
60+ participants, a beautiful day, and a few owlers. We got 95 count day
birds (a new high) and 101 count week birds. We did not get any new
In my haste to post the description of the redpoll, I forgot a crucial
detail - the where. My aapologies. The Fort Collins Museum of Discovery
is on Mason Ct north of the intersection of Mason and Cherry Streets in
Fort Collins. Basically, take the Highway 14 exit (269B - Mulberry St.)
