Re: [cobirds] Nest-building by Eurasian Collared Doves today

I just saw Marty's post about Eur Collared Dove nesting in NW Colorado Springs. While I haven't seen nesting in my yard (300 yds from Marty, in Mountain Shadows), I did get to watch copulation on my deck by the same species last week. I averted my eyes at the proper moment, to quote Fate

[cobirds] Nest-building by Eurasian Collared Doves today

Hi, Cobirders, I was a little surprised by a pair of Eur. Collared Doves this morning building a nest from 8-9 am, in 32 F... Birds of North America online says they breed from February to October, but will do so year-round in warmer climates. I know we had a warm fall, right into

Up to 8 *Lesser Goldfinches* were in my yard today, and elsewhere in Ken Caryl Valley I had 7 more Lessers along Massey Draw near the Ken Caryl Ranch Community Center, and a total of 17 more in four spots along the North Fork of Massey Draw and adjacent yards in the general region of the

[cobirds] Purple Sandpiper, today at 1:20pm.

Met a big group of people watching the PUSA this afternoon, from 12:30 pm to 1:25 pm. Under a bluebird sky and relatively mild weather, the little warrior was busy foraging along the bank, at the same place previously seen and reported. Everyone was very respectful, kept a distance, and enjoyed

[cobirds] Re: Question about South Platte Park American Dipper

Hey Ben, I saw the Dipper in that location last week at about 7:30-7:45 or so. I parked at the Nature Center and walked to the East trail that starts before the walking bridge that is parallel to Mineral. The bird was seen right before you go under Mineral Bridge, somewhat near the middle of

Re: [cobirds] note on Ruby-Crowned Kinglet and Lesser Goldfinch, Ken Caryl and Littleton

All, I'll add a little to David's report. Lesser Goldfinches have been quite regular in my yard in Littleton, near Clement Park, for a couple months. Yesterday (12/26) I set a yard high count of 23! I was playing in the sandbox out back (with our 4 yr old daughter) and the feeders were covered

Re: [cobirds] Question about South Platte Park American Dipper

I saw the dipper under the bridge a couple of years ago but haven't seen it there since. I don't see any reason for him to not to go to other areas of the river but I haven't heard of one being reported on our waterfall counts. Good luck! Deb Carstensen, Arapahoe County Sent from my

[cobirds] Question about South Platte Park American Dipper

Today I went to South Platte Park and birded the nature center and the adjacent river. I saw Mallards, Gadwalls, Common Goldeneyes, Song Sparrows, White-crowned Sparrows. All the common stuff. I looked very hard under and near mineral bridge to see if I could find the American Dipper reported
