Yesterday I had a meeting at Colo State Univ at Pueblo so I got in 15 minutes of birding that produced a Plumbeous Vireo from a small piece of good habitat. After the meeting (and the rain storm) I did a little birding along the Arkansas River near Runyon Park where I found a probable Dusky Flycat

*The Sewage Ponds of Phillips County and Other Mother’s Day Travel Ideas.* Why does Mother’s Day occur at the peak of Spring Migration? This must have been the idea of some deranged member of Congress. (Excuse the redundancy). Sure, many if not most of us birders love our moms, and are just fine

They're back! 1 male and 2 female Common Redpolls have been coming in to glean under the feeders today with a large flock of Pine Siskins. An additional female appeared this evening after I submitted my report of 1 female to eBirds. Lousy photo can be seen: http://psalms84.smugmug.com/Birds

Birders, I had to go to Lamar (Prowers County) today for work. I took the opportunity to visit the Lamar Community College Woods for almost 2 hours this afternoon. Things were hopping, or should I say flying. I was lucky enough to meet up with Janeal Thompson, and we found most of the birds t

I wandered around Roger's Grove Park (Longmont) today in the drizzle while waiting for the tires on my truck to be rotated and overall it was not nearly as birdy as its counterpart Golden Ponds have been, with just a handful of YR Warblers and one Orange-Crown. However back by the railroad tra

[cobirds] Gray Flycatcher - Boulder - Boulder County

2013-05-09 Thread Bryan Guarente
CoBirders, For the past two days, I have heard an empidonax flycatcher, but only today did I end up getting a look at the bird.  Upon getting a look, this bird seems to be a persistent tail-dipping Gray Flycatcher.  Uniformly gray, little to no contrast on the body, longish beak, and the aforeme
