[cobirds] Bluff Lake - Denver (and a mention of Adams)

26 April 2016 Bluff Lake - Denver The water was as high as I've seen it at Bluff. No shorebirds at all. I did have a couple of avocets, 4 Snowy Egrets flew over, Say's Phoebes, Black-crowned Night Heron, and a lot of Yellow-rumped Warblers. On my way home, I drove by the playa north of 56th

[cobirds] Northern Parula/Larimer

This morning in the light drizzle Jason Beason and I found a Northern Parula just east of McMurry Natural Area along the foot path. We also had a Brewer's Sparrow and Blue-grey Gnatcatcher. Birds were on the move with over 80 Yellow-rumped Warblers (both races) moving north. At Lee Martinez par

[cobirds] FOY Black-chinned HB, Jeffco

Just had my FOY Black-chinned Hummingbird at my feeder! Raining and cold, so he is hanging out in the tree next to the feeder for quick access! And FOY black-backed Lesser Goldfinch male at thistle feeder yesterday. Kay Kayleen A. Niyo, Ph.D. Niyo Scientific Communications 5651 Garn

[cobirds] Boulder Pelican NO?

I had almost no time but I took a very brief survey of Cottonwood marsh just now. I did not find the pelican. I would not be surprised if others manage to find it with more effort. I wanted to post for others in case they like me wanted to cram it into their schedule. Nick Moore Boulder CO S

[cobirds] How to get the most from your CFO Convention Field Trips!

Many of you who will attend next week's CFO Convention are experienced birders and have been on tons of field trips. But CFO welcomes less experienced birders too. Hey, each of us was a less experienced birder before having enough experiences to become experienced! You will find loads of help

[cobirds] Black-headed Grosbeak, Douglas

A Black-headed Grosbeak just came to our sunflower seed feeder. He retreated, but after we chased away the turkeys, he came back. We have a couple of hummingbirds, new this week, but not much else to crow about. We did see this afternoon one White-faced Ibis in the flooded field across Walk

[cobirds] Oriole; broadtailed and blackchinned humminbirds: lazuli bunting

We had our first *oriole* 4/26/16 but were unable to get positive ID, because it came and left so quick. Initially thought it a *Bullock's*, but second sighting looked very much like a hooded, which we have not seen in our area before. Will confirm. Also got a female *broadtailed hummingbird * a

Sorry, but in my haste to post the Brown pelican at Walden Ponds, I forgot to include my name. John Rutenbeck Longmont On Tuesday, April 26, 2016 at 2:04:32 PM UTC-6, jandcru...@gmail.com wrote: > > There is a Brown pelican hanging loosely with the American white pelicans > today, Tuesday, Apri

[cobirds] John Martin Brown Pelican, NO

Birders, The adult Brown Pelican, reliably seen for about 10 days in the stilling basin below the dam at John Martin Reservoir (Bent County), seems to have departed. I did not see it on Monday or Tuesday. I think it departed, as have most of the American White Pelicans it associated with. I th

[cobirds] Douglas County oriole

Thought we had a Bullock's oriole, but this one is smaller with shorter beak and no eyeline over orange auriculars. I'm thinking it might be an orchard or hooded. Anybody's help would be appreciated. Apologies for the inferior digicam.

[cobirds] Re: Douglas County oriole

That's a male Hooded Oriole do you realize that would be a 2nd state record??? Incredible find. Austin Hess Fort Collins, Colorado -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails

Wow! Any photos of the side or back? I'm wondering if Streak-backed Oriole is also a possible ID. David Dowell Longmont, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, s

Re: [cobirds] Re: Douglas County oriole

Great bird! I just saw on eBird that a Hooded Oriole was seen and photographed in Manhattan, Kansas. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S29231842 Birds and their wings Brad Biggerstaff Fort Collins +++ It's amazing what you see when you look +++ Wow! Any photos of the side or bac

[cobirds] Re: Douglas County oriole

Apologies. The only clear photo I have is what I posted. The bird is very timid and flies from the feeder if we approach the windows, which is why I had to resort to digicam. The more I look at the pic, the more the bird looks like a young orchard to my eye. I'd love to have a state record bird,
