[cobirds] Re: Help with possible bird ID

I heard the calls again (multiple times) and was able to get a better view. A pair of hawks have definitely taken up residence nearby and I was able to get photos. Assume these are cooper's as suggested, but if not let me know! https://photos.app.goo.gl/N4afrd8wYK6gvsni9 (pair) https://photos.ap

Re: [cobirds] Amazing bird song at Waneka Lake, Boulder County; do you know what it is?

There’s something about the strength, clarity, timbre, and regularity in terms of timing, of the song that makes me think of Western Meadowlark. I was over at Heil Ranch a couple of weeks ago and was surprised by a W Meadowlark’s unusually simple song using the same several notes (4 or 5) cover

Hey Ted! Fun bird song quiz here--it sounds like a Red-winged Blackbird calling to me. I'm not sure what else it could be...I'm basing my guess entirely off of the timbre of the sound. *The birds are happy, and so am I* *~Caleb Alons, Larimer County* -- You received this message because you are

Oh course we can't judge size, and the quiz master didn't tell us how FAR he was from the critter, but it sounds loud and it strikes me as being from a medium to a medium-large bird. The bird is probably singing from a relatively exposed perch, immobile, and doesn't appear to be bothered by a b

Re: [cobirds] Amazing bird song at Waneka Lake, Boulder County; do you know what it is?

Sounds like the very end of a Common Yellowthroat flight song? But I’ve only heard them skip the rest of the song 1-2 times before returning to complete song? Given Waneka Lake habitat, it’s my best guess. Allison Hilf Aurora, CO On Mon, Jun 15, 2020 at 9:13 PM Ted Floyd wrote: > Hey, folks.

RE: [cobirds] Re: Can you identify these fledglings?

My guess is the same. There is another Red-tailed Hawk nest a few trees away. Someone else suggested an Osprey but I really don’t think so, it is too far from water. The nearest reliable water/pond/lake is over a mile away, and would they nest that close to a red-tailed hawk nest? I wish I could

[cobirds] Re: Can you identify these fledglings?

Great picture! Based on the nest location and their beaks, I'd guess Red-tailed Hawk. The word "guess" is important. Rolf Hertenstein, Lyons (Boulder County) On Tuesday, June 16, 2020 at 9:05:42 AM UTC-6, Pauli wrote: > > These were photographed in their nest just outside of Town Hall in Mead.

[cobirds] Re: Can you identify these fledglings?

Hello Pauli! Fledglings never cease to confuse me, but you seem to have found young birds that have had time to grow a bit. I believe they are Osprey chicks, due to the color pattern of white/gray and a contrasting dark back. *The birds are happy, and so am I* *~Caleb Alons, Larimer County* --

RE: [cobirds] Amazing bird song at Waneka Lake, Boulder County; do you know what it is?
