2021-05-13 Thread Marty W
Greetings Cobirders, I forget who was working on an article for the CFO magazine on leucism unfortunately, but apparently my cobirds post on 5/10 did not get through due to my two photos being too large for google groups (even tho' I deleted 1 or 2 and went with smaller versions of the 2 left).

Hey COBirders, “Birdcast” forecast a “medium” intensity migration event last night for Colorado Springs - I can confirm that by the birds today it was definitely more active than the “low” days we’ve had lately! 23 birds banded today, with good diversity. A small wave of mixed warblers went

There was a Tennessee warbler yesterday at Twin Lakes, along the trail a little east of the tree where great horned owls nested for several years. Mark Holmgren and I got good views of it, and he posted pictures on the eBird list. Sorry for the late post. I went back early this morning and

CObirders, About 6:30 am back by Boulder Creek, there was a Tennessee Warbler singing high in the cottonwoods!! It was with a small flock of Yellow-rumped Warblers. Its sharp, staccato song was instantly recognizable. Just to be certain, I asked my friend Karen Axe to play the song quietly on
