All, After hearing Nathan's report, figured I'd add to the Sprague's Pipit conversation. When I was at Pipit Hill yesterday (10/12), I had similar luck. I located a pair of birds almost right away, and kept hearing/seeing them throughout my time there.  Being my first time at this location, and

2019-10-13 Thread Nathan Pieplow
Hi all, I accompanied the CU Boulder Birding Club on a trip for Sprague's Pipits at the traditional spot near Hale in Yuma County. We had at least 5 Sprague's (I think more), with our first scope views of a bird on the ground after only a couple minutes of searching. I've never had such good luck

Our final day was the slowest of the season - made us feel that it was a good time to end! Banded only 7 birds, and then caught another 14 that we had caught earlier this season (a few migrants that had yet to move on and other birds that are likely to stick around for the winter). The 7 new

We had three stragglers on multiple visits two days ago, two yesterday, including a calliope, and one this morning. Haven't seen any since 8 a.m. We did see our first returning Junco, a lone pink-sided, mixed in with the numerous chipping and white-crowned sparrows. John Ealy Roxborough Park

Carrie Olson and I decided to spend the morning at a point near the northeast corner of Timnath Reservoir as part of the annual Big Sit. I have done a few in the east, and this was my first one ever in Coloardo. Unfortunately, it is fairly late in the year for good songbird migration but since
