[cobirds] Crow Valley and elsewhere today in WELD

Greetings All I've been heading out to Crow Valley pretty much weekly, usually on Mondays. Today was like many of my outings -- the first 1-2 hours after sunrise (actually starting just before sunrise) are very birdy, and then activity drops off rapidly. You can actually see the birds heading

[cobirds] Northern Goshawk

This AM at 7:30 there was a Northern Goshawk!! sitting on our bird feeder. It flew but it may still be in the area. We live in Arapahoe County between Cherry Creek State Park and the Denver Tech Center. Near South Havana & Orchard Rd. Keep a look out for him. A beauty! Mary C Burger 10826 E

[cobirds] Re: Ridgway Banding and comment on rare birds.

Nick, I think most active birders would have picked out the same two birds from Amanda's list as rare that you did, and I had been thinking the same thing that you were before reading your post - Wow, very low numbers for the two weeks we band in Ridgway but two rarities. On the other hand,

Re: [cobirds] Re: Red Phalarope - Chatfield State Park - Jeffco

About 4pm today, I relocated one immature Sabine's gull and the red phalarope from the swim beach at chatfield state park. Pretty sure I had the birds in both Jefferson and Douglas counties, for what that's worth. At the marina spit, usual suspects with 2 common terns. Good birding, Scott

[cobirds] Northeast Reservoirs Friday

Last Friday I went northeast to see what might be at the reservoirs, hoping to find a jaeger. When I arrived at Jumbo, it was raining and 48 so I sheltered with my scope under the rear hatch. It has the best shore of the three I visited. The only real birds of note at Jumbo, Prewitt, and

Re: [cobirds] Northern Goshawk

Hi Mary Cay, Wow! Very cool. I wonder if it is the same bird we saw last winter on our CCSP raptor survey. I thought you had left already. Do you leave tomorrow? How did the fall count go? I am taking a lady from Austin to CCSP today. I sprained my ankle on Saturday, so won't be able

Sorry for the late report (or duplicate if they have already been reported.) Also, it may not be rare, but but ebird questioned me when I input it on Birdlog. Several of us were treated to 4 Red-necked Phalaropes east of the Chatfield Marina Sandspit on Saturday just before sunset. It was
