After a wait I heard the Grace's Warbler sing repeatedly from around 2:30 to 3:00 this afternoon. I did not see the bird. - Chuck Lowrie, Denver On Monday, June 2, 2014 11:35:22 AM UTC-6, Christian Nunes wrote: > > Good morning, > > While doing point counts at the Eldorado Mountain Open Space (O

Personally, I have noticed an increase in Blue Grosbeaks around Fort Collins at least. Looking at my ebird sightings I counted 76 birds seen last year among 4 sites I frequent around the Fort. I have sightings in each month from May to September, most coming from Douglass Reservoir a few miles

Birders, The Black Phoebe was still at the bridge on 75th over Boulder Creek just before noon today. I got to see it for only a few minutes before I lost track of it and didn't see it again in the next 15 min. It was perching on the north side of the creek near a gate. Photo link: http://zroadr

[cobirds] Blue Grosbeaks

2014-06-02 Thread DAVID A LEATHERMAN
I am curious as to whether any one else thinks Blue Grosbeaks are definitely more common in the northeastern quadrant of Colorado than they used to be. They used to be present in this area back in the 1970s and 1980s but were noteworthy, and very local. Now I would say they are sort of expecte

Good morning, While doing point counts at the Eldorado Mountain Open Space (OSMP) this morning, I found a territorial male GRACE'S WARBLER. For years I've been looking at this particular grove of old-growth Ponderosa Pines and thinking about how great it would be to have a GRWA there. His territ

I know the old-timers know about this location but thought some new Colorado birders might be interested. I easily found two singing Grace's Warlbers at the junction of Hwy 149 and the Sapinero Cut-off road (Gunnison County Road 26) on the evening of May 30th. I did see both well also. The habitat
