Re: [cobirds] Opening our Colorado National Wildlife Refuges to increased hunting and fishing

Same here, Chuck. And, as someone who has been birding thee since 1973, I am continually dismayed at the management by the State of Colorado as it has created invasive trails which have destroyed habitat, and allowed bicyclles in these trails, in Cherry Creek State Park. The state can't

[cobirds] Welcome back, Trog. Jefferson County

Regarding spring migration, most species range maps (Cornell, Sibley, Peterson) extend from Mexico to the Arctic. But eBird.org/science, thanks to international postings, recently offers very broad range maps, giving a fuller picture of the awesome movement of migrating birds. For example,

Re: [cobirds] respectable viewing distance?

Well said, Peter, and furthermore it is proper form to genially get the idea over that someone is TOO CLOSE, crowding the bird. You might say, "Hey, let's all back off a few feet and give it some room. A friend of mine is on the way, and I'm hoping the bird is still here then." There are stronger

[cobirds] Opening our Colorado National Wildlife Refuges to increased hunting and fishing

As a member of the Audubon Colorado Council I am concerned with the announced move to increase hunting and fishing at three Colorado National Wildlife Refuges: Browns NWR in the northwest corner, and Monte Vista and Alamosa. Monte Vista is an IBA. There is some hunting already in each but this

Re: [cobirds] respectable viewing distance?

Ashley, This is an excellent question, and the answer does depend on the bird. This Louisiana Waterthrush does seem rather tolerant of people, but if they really were within 6' of the bird, then I think that is way too close. When we are observing a rare bird, the last thing anyone should do is

Re: [cobirds] respectable viewing distance?

Just a question for my learning...as I see a lot of people coming to visit the Louisiana Waterthrush, what’s a respectable distance for viewing? I’m finding there are some folks that would be within the social distancing 6ft circle if it were another human, kidding, but you get the point. So, to

[cobirds] FOS Orange-crowned warbler Teller 5, Boulder County this morning

It was briefly cooperative, foraging low and even showing its orange crown. Jay Berger and Maureen Ivy were there also and we all got nice looks. Other species included yellow-rumped warblers both Audubon's and Myrtle, a variety of ducks, yellow-headed blackbirds, and three pelicans. Bev

[cobirds] Re: Buteo use of Transmission Towers & Lines - Arapahoe

Hello Jared, I think the fact that Red-taileds have bigger feet than Swainson's causes them to prefer a larger perch. I have seen Red-tailed's on wires, but not often. This is pure speculation, but perhaps the Cooper's prefer the towers because they provide lower perch points that give the
