[cobirds] CSR Report, El Paso Co, Friday

Hey COBorders, Wow. What a strange fall migration season this has been. It is a rare day that I band more birds than either the Chico Basin or Barr Lake stations! I had a whopping total of 15 birds today, and may have had more if I hadn’t been blown out about 945. There were actually a lot

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 9/21 and 9/22/23

Got a bit behind in my reporting, due to the craziness of the past few days, so this covers both Thursday and Friday. Thursday was slow and Friday (today) was pitiful...18 new birds on Thursday and only 3 today. I'm not sure there has been a day in mid-September when we only banded 3 new

Re: [cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Pineridge Natural Area Banding Report 9/19-21

Great report Josephine! I was walking around Dixon Reservoir yesterday afternoon and happened to spot a rolled up net close to the trail. My friend asked what it was for and I shared all about BCOR and bird banding! So excited there is a new station at Dixon. I hope it will continue in future

[cobirds] Red Crossbills: Type 2 and 4 recorded together (Boulder)

A week ago, while with my dog on his morning walk, I noticed two Red Crossbills perched atop a spruce tree in our front yard. They were calling and they sounded different from one another, so I pulled out my phone and used Merlin to record them.I studied the sonograms today and think they were

Re: [cobirds] Barr Lake - Statement From Bird Conservancy of the Rockies

Thank you for the update, Tyler. I have found out that this year the bird banding will continue as usual. FRICO mitigation work is not heading further towards our banding station this year. Next year, before we start banding, FRICO will do required work near/around the banding station. Currently,

Folks in the state and the NGO community have to be careful as all (for the parks employee) and much (Bird Conservancy) of their funding comes from public sources. It is those of us who are from the outside to be rabble rousers. On Fri, Sep 22, 2023 at 10:10 AM 'Norm Lewis' via Colorado Birds <

Another slow day at the Chico, waiting on a northerly wind to bring in some more birds. We did catch a late Yellow Warbler which is nice to see. There were still some flycatchers and a Cassin's Kingbird. Did not hear any Red-breasted Nuthatches out there today. *14 New Birds Banded* Wilson's

Agreed! The tone of the broadcast was conciliatory, suggesting that everything is just fine. I was hoping for something a little more critical.Norm LewisLakewood Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 21, 2023, at 9:53 PM, Lauren Hyde wrote:I don’t think this broadcast will do a damn thing. Neither women nor
