[cobirds] Caracara in Weld County

2017-04-16 Thread Rick Reeser
This morning, I walked some of that area where the caracara was reportedly seen, but was extremely skeptical of the report, considering that there are regular sightings of ospreys and immature and mature bald eagles in that area. As I was walking out, though, I saw a bird soaring very high, and

[cobirds] Fwd: Phoebes near Hygiene, Boulder Co

2017-04-16 Thread Peter Gent
All, We spent over an hour yesterday morning at the bridge over St. Vrain Creek on Crane Hollow Road, which is about 1/2 mile west of Hygiene in north Boulder County. When we arrived, 2 Phoebes were there. There was an Eastern Phoebe which was frequently going under the bridge, so we presumed

[cobirds] Winter wren/Arap Cty

2017-04-16 Thread Carol Blackard
Good morning, We just had a brief but thorough study of a Winter Wren just outside our wall of windows foraging around the ground feeder. No mistaking this tiny dark guy with the itsy bitsy cocked tail. It’s actually a lifer for us and certainly a new yard bird. I’m afraid he’s moved on, but

[cobirds] white-throated sparrow, Centennial/Arapahoe

2017-04-16 Thread Karl Stecher Jr.
I've had a white-thoated sparrow in my yard since last fall, but have only seen him about 6 times. Even when the white-crowneds (not many visits from them...I just don't have a sparrow habitat) eat on the ground, out in the open, under the feeders, the white-throated will usually hide at the
