[cobirds] Warbler fest in Canon City area

This week I have enjoyed watching a lot of warblers feeding in and near Canon City. Earlier this past week there were large numbers of Wilson's Warblers on the Canon City Riverwalk between Sell's Lake and Raynold's trailheads. There were at least 50 Wilson's Warblers in just two patches of common

[cobirds] El Paso county --- Sabine's Gull 9/21/13

COBirders, I stopped by Big Johnson Reservoir today while coming back from Pueblo county from helping out on the fall count and had an adult SABINE'S GULL right below the lower "parking lot." The only real noteworthy species I had while in Pueblo county were six CHESTNUT-COLLARED LONGSPURs and

[cobirds] Hackberry psyllid emergence underway

Just a heads-up that hackberry trees from now until the first hard frosts would be worth checking closely for migrant passerines. During yesterday's Denver Audubon field trip to Grandview Cemetery in Fort Collins, we observed 8 species of birds in one Northern Hackberry tree (house finches, bla
