[cobirds] Dunlin at Neenoshe Reservoir, Kiowa County

2019-03-25 Thread David Suddjian

Well, taking that idea a step further, I have seen a few male Northern Shovelers with limited "white-face-crescents" (they were barely present in the birds I can recall). Birds of North America states (for Alternate I, male NOSH) Head and neck black with iridescent green medially. Some birds show

Intriguing, nice investigation Sean. A search on eBird's Macaulay Library also shows nearly all male Northern Shoveler x Cinnamon Teal hybrids with a white crescent and rufous breast area (a more understandable trait) like this bird.

Sounds like there were lots of Eastern Phoebes in SE Colorado and other places yesterday. This morning, one was singing west of Valco Ponds parking lot in Pueblo (there's usually nesting pair or two, around Pueblo most years recently). I also saw a Black Phoebe, perhaps the one that wintered
