[cobirds] Backyard Steller's Jay / Denver

2020-10-16 Thread Dave Cameron
Of course we've all seen Steller's Jays every single time we've set foot into the foothills W of Denver. But, along with the influx of Juncos that took me from FOS bird to FOS flock of a dozen, this past cold front also brought me a Mountain Chickadee (4th or 5th time in 16 yrs here), and a

[cobirds] Ring-bill Airlines - Boulder

2020-10-16 Thread Peter Ruprecht
Hi Cobirds, I stopped by Baseline Reservoir in Boulder this morning to see if any scoters or loons had blown in. There were some biggish rafts of waterbirds way offshore and hard to see clearly. Lots of Aechmophorus grebes (50-75, all of them that I could see well enough were Western), lots of

COBirders, There is a Surf Scoter at N. Poudre #4. You must view from the road as this reservoir is closed to the public. The Pacific Loon was still at Douglas Reservoir at the far north end along with 2 Bonaparte’s Gulls. 24 Sandhills Cranes are on the shore of N. Poudre #3 with 25 more

Cobirders, The Field Sparrow was observed at 1:45 pm at CCSP associating with a loose flock of other sparrows. It was found at the edge of the willows along the shoreline about twenty yards before they end out on Pelican Point. About at the spot where folks were cutting through the willows to

[cobirds] Red necked grebe

2020-10-16 Thread Jill Boice
Well I have been at Blunn Reservoir since 10 this morning. I have just seen “Chips” Red necked grebe. I am not mistaken as I was able to see it pretty well with my scope. Too large and stout a bill to be a pied billed and distinct face pattern of a red necked. There have been pied

Good morning still (barely), Sorry for the late report, but I found a Dunlin this morning around 8:30 am at Lagerman Res. It was very cooperative on the NW side. 3 Chestnut-collared Longspurs also continued from a reported high of 10 or so (I think) on the SW side of the res. Good birding,

2020-10-16 Thread Chip Clouse
Cobirders, Photos obtained by others after my report of a Red-necked Grebe (RNGR) yesterday show birds too small and with too small of a bill to be RNGR. These 2 birds were seen and photographed from fairly close to shore on the west side whereas my initial sighting was of 1 bird on the east side
