re: [cobirds] Common Poorwill calling - Ft. Collins, Larimer Co.

Larry, on a very foggy May 26 night in the mid to late 1970s, I lived in Denver at 200 South Cherry, in the Hilltop neighborhood. I heard a poorwill which I then saw sitting (and calling) on the roof across the street (north) from my house. I would have to look up the exact year. Karl

Re: [cobirds] CPER Nest Monitoring: Wk. 1

Sorry, I assumed the CPER was a well-known spot. It's in Weld County, 10 minutes north of Nunn, just off Hwy 85. Let me know if you'd like a more precise description. It's about 45 minutes northeast of Ft. Collins and 1.5 hrs north of Denver proper. -Amber Carver Littleton, CO On Sat, May 23,

[cobirds] RMBO Chatfield Banding Report, 5/23/15

Nice morning of banding, with lots of human visitors - everyone thrilled to see the sun for the first time in days! We were only able to open part of the station plus the Nature Center because of water issues, but still managed to capture 31 new birds for the season: Least Flycatcher 1 (FOS)

[cobirds] Winter Wren, Moraine Park, Rocky Mtn. Nat. Park, Larimer Co. 5/23

We are enjoying a nice visit in the Estes Park area in Larimer County. This afternoon we drove slowly through Moraine Park in Rocky Mountain National Park watching and listening for birds. We spotted a small, stub-tailed wren at the base of a bush right by the road. It was a very pale gray

[cobirds] RE: Golden-winged Warbler--Butterfly Woods/Larimer

This morning, I woke up early and headed over to Crow Valley Campground. When I got there I was greeted with a sign that said, Road Closed. No Camping or Walk-ins. My mood changed when I read a post from John Shenot that he found a Golden-winged Warbler in Butterfly Woods. I thought my

[cobirds] boxelder is a hot tree at present

Just a heads-up to everybody, a common denominator I am seeing in person and in looking at photographs taken by others: a lot of insectivorous neotropical migrants, as this spring migration peaks, are finding Boxelder (Acer negundo) to be a good restaurant. The reason is a small caterpillar

[cobirds] Larimer County big day

Dear Fellow birders, As you know, the diversity of species in Colorado right now is very high, and Larimer County has been particularly blessed with rarities in recent days. With recent reports of rare warblers, vireos, Flycatcher's, gulls, etc., even more eyes will be out in Larimer County

[cobirds] Larimer County Birds

Good day all! I have never wanted the rain to go away so badly. At the same time, I do believe that the rain is the reason for this post. I just wanted to post a recap for my birding in and around Fort Collins this week. This is going down as the best week I've ever had birding in Fort

[cobirds] Re: Larimer County big day

If this is a Big Day that you are submitting to ABA as an official big day, it would be breaking their rules to read cobirds, look at ebird reports, or get direct information from people while doing an official ABA big day.  I am not sure any recent big days actually keep to these rules.

[cobirds] CPER Nest Monitoring: Wk. 1

Hi, All! The Central Plains Experimental Range nest monitoring field season got off to a slow start this week. There are tons of birds around, but we weren't able to work outside most days due to rain. On the days that we did get out (Monday and Thursday), we covered a lot of ground but found

[cobirds] Common Poorwill calling - Ft. Collins, Larimer Co.

Hi Cobirders, Last night just before dark I heard the unmistakable call of a Common Poorwill for a few minutes at my home in SE Ft. Collins. It was so close and loud, we first heard it inside the house! Although I've seen/photographed them here before, this was the first time I've heard one

[cobirds] Ovenbird/Blackpoll Warbler/Larimer

This morning I went birding along the Lee Martinez and Poudre Bike trail junction heading west. At the junction I had a Broad-winged Hawk calling and another one about 100 feet west of there. The second BWHA individual seemed to have a squirrel but flew off as a Blue Jay harassed it. At

[cobirds] Big Days

When my uncle Van and I use to do Big Days, there were not cell phones back then. So this wasn't a problem. If we happened to run into other birders during our big day route, we tried our best not to get bird information from them, since we were trying to obey the ABA Big Day rules. I don't
