[cobirds] White-faced Ibis in Boulder County

A single, lone White-faced Ibis has been hanging around a small wet area north of the Meadow Mountain subdivision, on the north side of Dry Creek (between Dry Creek and Nelson). It's a low area, so it's difficult to see from 75th, but you can access it easily by parking in front of Blue

[cobirds] Cassin's (not Blue-Headed) Vireo - Larimer County - CSU Env Learning Center

Joe Mammoser found and photographed a solitary vireo at the CSU Environmental Learning Center that was almost certainly the same bird I reported yesterday as a possible Blue-Headed Vireo. Joe believes it is a Cassin's Vireo and I don't disagree. I'm sorry about the mis-identification and hope

For CFOers headed to Cortez for the convention, here's a heads-up about some birds seen this weekend at the fantastic Ute Mountain / Mesa Verde Birding Festival in Cortez. This may be the only festival on the planet with a list that includes Lucy's warbler, whimbrel, northern saw-whet owl, and

[cobirds] CBR Monday - Gray-cheeked Thrush

Hi COBirders, A warm, clear, calm day at Chico Basin Ranch (RMBO Banding Station, El Paso Co, fee), therefore few birds, at what should be the peak of migration. Sigh. But we did band a new Gray-cheeked Thrush, not as brown-tinged in the tail as the one last week. Also our First-of-Season W

[cobirds] RMBO Banding Station Report, Chatfield, 5/13/13

Like Chico, we also have fewer birds on this warm, calm day. Banded 17 birds, plus caught 2 birds banded in prior years, including a Yellow Warbler banded as an adult male in 2007, then recaptured in 08 and 09 but not since until today. That means at least an 8 year old bird! (Longevity record

[cobirds] Welcome Back Kotter!

For those of you that may remember my posts from last year (or perhaps the write-up on this story in the CFO Journal last winter); we had a male broad-tailed hummingbird that I first noticed in May of 2012 sometime at our home here in Teller County. I noticed that it was consistently (100% of

[cobirds] Latham Black-bellied Plover and Whimbrel

At Latham Reservoir on the south side of Weld CR 48 there were 6 Black-bellied Plover and 2 Whimbrel found by myself and Dick Schottler. Checked Stewart's Pond on CR 46 just east of US 85.Nothing of note and it is going fry rapidly. Norm Erthal Arvada, CO -- You received this message because

[cobirds] Crow Valley CG (Weld) and Fort Morgan (Morgan) on 5/13/13

Crow Valley CG today was birdy but not outstanding in terms of rarities. Suffice it to say no Cerulean Warbler was seen despite a recently unvetted eBird report, and lots of searching by several veteran Colorado birders. Best birds that I saw at CVCG during a morning visit and a brief evening
