COBirders, A White-throated Sparrow was at feeder this AM in neighborhood just south of Bear Creek Park in Colorado Springs. I'll keep tabs to see if it continues for our CBC on Dec 15. (I put out extra seed!). Cordially, Steve Getty, Colorado Springs -- You received this message because you

I spent the morning birding around some local places in Littleton and western ARA. I primarily explored places that I rarely visit or that were new to me. It was all quite productive! Cooley Lake on S Platte on Mineral: 5200 or so Cackling Geese incl a very washed out, light tan bird. 1

[cobirds] Gyrfalcon

2018-12-05 Thread Andrew Bankert
Let me start off by saying that the Gyrfalcon was not refound anywhere this morning that I am aware of with people looking along Trilby Road and at the landfill. After thinking about it, I do not regret the 15 hour delay between identifying and posting the Gyrfalcon to CObirds. I try to get the

CoBirds Community, As a new member to the group, I was surprised to see this thread take a turn like this on my first day of following CoBirds. It’s one reason I’ve unsubscribed from state-level Listserves in the past, and I guess this forum isn’t free from criticism and sarcasm. That’s too

I was unable to find the Gyrfalcon today at 2:00pm at the landfill. As far as I know no one else has seen it today either, but I have yet to check Horsetooth Res. as Nick K. suggested. Good luck to everyone else who searches for it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Thank you Joe. A pet peeve of mine is when people choose to share birding locations with a select few in the birding community and not the public (but for owls). Sadly, at times I think the Colorado birding community used to be a “community” and has turned more into a group of Birders

[cobirds] Goshawk over Ken Caryl Plains area, JeffCo

I was just watching an adult Nor Goshawk soaring in the afternoon sun over the Plains portion of the Ken Caryl development, in this case south east of Chatfield Ave x Ken Caryl Ave. A male, I think. A real treat. David Suddjian Ken Caryl Valley Littleton Co Sent from my iPhone -- You

On re-reading, I guess you were being facetious about the GYRF being unnecessarily sequestered overnight. Who were the lucky few who knew to be there at dawn, I wonder? Thanks, Joe -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group. To

Hello Joe and all, The eBird daily report you got did not mention Gyr because it never should at this point. eBird treats this as a "sensitive" species and it is blocked from most output data. As an aside, it was accepted by reviewers rather quickly (within 1 hour of it being submitted). I think

As Tony said, let's all use CObirds! The eBird daily report I get did not even mention the GYRF, perhaps because it is in review. CObirds and eBird have different, overlapping and key roles. If you use COBirds, please post to CObirds. If you use the Colorado RBA, please post to CObirds. Big fan

Thanks to Andy for posting such a timely announcement of the Gyr that enabled so many of us to be on location at dawn and thus enjoy such a great bird.  Such timeliness really helps all those interested in chasing such a beast to have a better chance to see it and enables all that are
