[cobirds] Dickcissel Chatfield JeffCo

2 Dickcissels are at Chatfield in the grassland S of the horse stable area. One is singing steadily on the left side of the perimeter road 0.35 mile S of Fox Run Picnic Area. I only noted the second bird because the singer chased it around. Presumably one of these is the one reported here by Joe

And a 3rd Dickcissel is a little farther S singing on W side of road past the small bridge. An Indigo Bunting stopped in, too David Suddjian Littleton Co Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 4, 2016, at 6:49 AM, David Suddjian wrote: > > 2 Dickcissels are at Chatfield in the grassland S of the hors

[cobirds] Loons/El Paso County

Three loons (2 Common, 1 Pacific) remain at Big Johnson Reservoir. The trick is that you usually can't see them by setting up a scope at the SW corner. Typically, you're going to have to walk a little around the south side to where you can see the water close to the dam in the NW corner. That s

[cobirds] Male Calliope, Jefferson County

I think I am possibly getting Brandon's birds showing up in my yd. Brandon, are you telling your hummers to head north then head east to Littleton? Yes, I just saw an ad. male Calliope Hummingbird, at my feeder. More important is, like the arrival of my other 2, Rufous recently, this date is th

Re: [cobirds] Male Calliope, Jefferson County

[cobirds] Stealthy Streptopelias

Hello, everybody. Well, it's July, the most intriguing month of the year for birding. And in that spirit, I had occasion yesterday to ponder the intriguing ID challenges posed by Colorado's increasing and expanding populations of doves in the ge

[cobirds] Scissor-tailed Flycatchers

Folks, I went to look for Larry Modesitt’s STFL in Lincoln County and found what appears to be a family unit of them, including 2 adults (1 sitting on a nest) and a juvenile bird. Thanks Larry! http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S30525793 Glenn Walbek Castle Rock, CO https://gwalbek.smugmu

[cobirds] Genesee Park, Jefferson County CO, DFO Trip July 3 2016 by Kathanne Lynch

The DFO field trip yesterday at Genesee Park yielded 32 species for 12 participants. Detailed notes and photos were entered into eBird for breeding bird data. The high-count species was the Red Crossbill (AND they were the dominant bird sound in the field). Below are our bird checklists

Re: [cobirds] Scissor-tailed Flycatchers

Great observation, Glenn and Larry. There was only one breeding confirmation during the second Breeding Bird Atlas period - none during the first atlas. Chuck Hundertmark Lafayette, CO > On Jul 4, 2016, at 3:51 PM, Glenn Walbek wrote: > > Folks, > > I went to look for Larry Modesitt’s STFL in

Re: [cobirds] Scissor-tailed Flycatchers

Wow, more indications of birds moving north. I remember Garth speaking about that on our convention trip. I’m delighted Glenn found the breeding. Larry > On Jul 4, 2016, at 4:10 PM, Charles Hundertmark > wrote: > > Great observation, Glenn and Larry. There was only one breeding confirmation

[cobirds] Chatfield - Waterton, and Ken Caryl Ranch, JeffCo

Upon further consideration, I believe I encountered only 2 *Dickcissels* this morning at Chatfield SP. There may have been 3, but they were moving around a fair bit, and I could only confirm two singing at the same time about 0.2 mile apart. An *Eastern Phoebe* continued at Kingfisher Bridge. *Red-

[cobirds] Grasshopper Sparrows, Flatiron Vista, Boulder

Hi folks, I get a lot of good birding in while running lately. This morning I had a few (meaning probably at least 3) grasshopper sparrows singing by the trailhead at Flatiron Vista, south of Boulder along CO 93. According to ebird they hadn't been reported at that location before, so I thought it

[cobirds] Calliope Hummingbird and Pine Grosbeak, Reynold's Park, Jefferson County

I found my first Calliope Hummingbird for the year today while hiking Reynold’s Park south of Conifer. It was a female right at the spot were Eagle View trail bends back on its self along a ravine, on the way to the top. The migrating hummers are starting to move south now it seems. Also of

[cobirds] Stub-tailed Wren - Calypso Cascades, Wild Basin, RMNP (Boulder County)

Hi all - Today Jeff and I hiked to Bluebird Lake in RMNP. We passed by Calypso Cascades, the location of the Stub-tailed Wren (STWR) as reported by Steve Mlodinow approximately 10 days ago and heard it singing at about 7am this morning. I had a brief glimpse - not enough to give me many details

[cobirds] Follow up on John Martin Reservoir loons - Bent Co

Birders, after 3 days and many hours of studying these birds and much debate with Duane Nelson, we believe all three birds are red throated loons. I took a lot of long-distance photos and will circulate some after we get home and I can look at them on the computer. Ira Sanders Golden, CO Presently

[cobirds] Latish find of 10 or so male Dickcissel and 1 male Bobolink in Canon City

I have found this and another 9 or so male Dickcissel, and at least one male Bobolink, in several locations in the Canon City area. I had found one of each species about a month ago, which was in the usual time frame for them to be breeding in local hayfields, but could not refind any before I le
