[cobirds] Unidentified raptor

2020-03-14 Thread Jace Wesley Brasher
Hello, Today while birding in west Loveland I spooked a dark brown raptor with very distinct white lines on the tips of its wings similar to the coloration of a nighthawk, although I have eliminated that option because it was similar in size as a red-tailed hawk. It was dark brown and had no other

Yep, sorry for the alarm - they are decoys. Left the house to go up in the mountains w/o bins - driving my wife’s car (she doesn’t keep any in her car). When we got to the park, it’s a little cloudy and I think I’m seeing swans! They are fooling park visitors as well, as there was a guy on a bi

It would be helpful to describe the observations that confirmed they were alive, as it is such a coincidence to have them there, right where the decoys were recently. Were they swimming, foraging, flapping wings, interacting? "Trust, but verify". Joe Roller, Denver On Sat, Mar 14, 2020 at 1:16 PM

Hi all, I originally posted a Bonapartes but changed the post to Franklin’s at Marston yesterday. Gulls are still tough for me. The bill looked very black which is what made me think Bonaparte’s. But I was guided to consider leg color and that led me to Franklin’s. Sorry for confusion -- You
