[cobirds] Is this a great year for Sabine's Gulls in nearby states?

I checked the eBird map for reports of Sabine's Gulls during the months of August and September so far this year. Most states west of Kansas City have a smattering of SABU reports, but Colorado has *by far *the most eBird reports of this striking gull this fall. Lucky us! Consider reporting all

[cobirds] Beidleman

Hi Thanks to Arvind for post about Richard Beidleman. I was greatly influenced by Beidleman, taking all of his week long field courses at RMNP year after year and from this gained an approach for learning ornithology, particularly an appreciation for the 19th century naturalist who roamed the

[cobirds] Pueblo birding 9/19

It was a birdy morning, below Pueblo Reservoir dam. I first checked all my sometimes good bushes near the Snakeskin/Cottonwood Picnic Area parking lots on the south side of the river. This area I saw a Red-naped Sapsucker, a Cassin's Vireo, a Townsend's Warbler among other birds. I walked

[cobirds] Remembering Dr. Beidleman

COBirders, When I first moved to the Colorado Springs area quite a few years ago, I attended a lecture by Dr. Beidleman about Long's Expedition to the Rocky Mountains. It remains the most interesting lecture I have heard. There, I learned about Thomas Say, the Father of Entomology, who found

[cobirds] Beidleman

Richard Beidleman was one of the most extraordinary teachers I ever had. I also took his classes through the Rocky Mountain Nature Assoiciation and his teaching changed my life. His enthusiasm was contagious. Everytime he showed us a new bird in the field he was so excited, as if, it was his

Re: [cobirds] Remembering Dr. Beidleman

Hi COBirders, To add to remembrances from Arvind and Bill, I had the pleasure of spending a whole summer with Dr. Beidleman in 1983 in a 40 hours/week class (10 semester hours!). We heard all that Bill told, had many close-up experiences with biology and ecology around Pikes Peak, plus camping

[cobirds] Absence of shorebirds at Barr Lake today

I was able to spend just under an hour scanning the eastern Barr Lake shores and mudflats from the boat launch, from the path leading out from the banding station and a bit from just across from the Nature Center. Although there were plenty of birds, they were in the gull, cormorant, pelican

[cobirds] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, Larimer

I searched the Prospect Ponds Natural Area in Fort Collins today (Sept 19) after seeing a report of a Yellow-crowned Night-Heron on the ABA Rare Bird Alert and luckily, I found not one, but two of them. I found them in some cottonwoods at edge of Merganser Pond which is the northern -most pond
