[cobirds] Re: Migration Weather Advisory: Tuesday All Day

I agree. Bryan's reports are fascinating. Besides the massive numbers of Marbled Godwit and Long-billed Curlew sightings yesterday, I noticed several eBird reports stating "FOS". Yes, that's one "advantage" of being one of the RBA Compilers - you see whats going on around the state while

Re: [cobirds] Re: Gulls flying over Sedalia CO?

On Tuesday, we heard a flock of Franklin's Gulls calling out in the marshy fields north of Boulder and then saw a flock of about fifteen of them overhead in close formation, flying northwards. We wish them luck on their journey to their nesting areas in the Northern U.S. and Canada after their

Re: [cobirds] Re: Migration Weather Advisory: Tuesday All Day

I agree with Rob, Bryan. Anecdotally, I kept an eye on a couple of my patches on Tuesday, given your "migrational turnover" weather forecast. Wouldn't you know it -- I had a yardbird first of 7 Chipping Sparrows at home off Colfax in very urban east-central Denver, and a FOS Ruby-crowned Kinglet

[cobirds] Re: Yellow-throated Vireo Pueblo County 4/22

One reported recently in Jefferson County too, south fence line of Harriman Lake Park. Here is an interesting eBird range map that shows that this eastern species has a "Pre-breeding migratory season" in the front range of Colorado. I wonder why it flies out to left field briefly here in

Re: [cobirds] Woodcock

Carl, very interesting report. Can you provide more details? For example, 1. Was the location on public property? If so, can you provide location for others to visit? 2. Were these birds displaying? Calling? Singing? It is woodcock breeding season. Could they be breeding locally? Were these

[cobirds] Re: Gulls flying over Sedalia CO?

They may also be some of the flocks of California Gulls pouring into the breeding colonies at Antero Res, Walden Res, Riverside Reservoir and points north. This 3 day window is when i would see early breeders start arriving and setting up territories. That said, Franklin's are also moving

Dear CoBirders, As we head into the peak of spring migration, allow me this reminder: 1. *all CoBirds posts should have a signature line with your full name and city*. The actual rule for this Google Group calls for listing your *state*, too, but this really seems much less necessary... but so

[cobirds] Re: Gulls flying over Sedalia CO?

I believe these are flocks of Franklin’s gulls migrating between South America and northern US/Canada. I’ve seen and heard two flocks in the past couple days here in Cañon City, Co. On Tuesday, April 21, 2020 at 4:56:17 PM UTC-6, Ghislaine Griswold wrote: > > This morning I was sure I heard
