Re: [cobirds] Pelican Mortality at Union Res (Boulder Co.)

A friend just texted me a picture of a dead pelican she found at Cherry Creek State Park. It did not appear to have any injuries. She reported it to the park office so hopefully they will act quickly to remove the animal so scavengers don't get to it and pass illness along the food chain (assuming

My guess about the hummingbird would be that a predator grabbed, then lost it. In any case, missing that many feathers doesn't bode well for migration. Amy Amy Cervene Arvada, Jefferson On Fri, Sep 3, 2021 at 8:17 PM Jared Del Rosso wrote: > I'm going to work backward through my evening of

[cobirds] Turkey family RFI

Hello Birders, Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center recently received a baby turkey found around 136th and Huron. We’re trying to determine if it’s wild or domestic and wondered if anyone has happened to see a family of turkeys with young chicks anywhere in that area. It’s pretty late for

Re: [cobirds] feeders?

Avian disease is definitely still around, and as I'm sure you know, very contagious. We're seeing an average number of birds coming into rehab with conjunctivitis, trichinosis, and salmonella right now, so I wouldn't say that there is a recent uptick. The new "mystery disease" found in eastern

Re: [cobirds] rehabber recommendation resource?

Wild Bird and Greenwood both welcome calls from the public. CPW and State Patrol will sometimes respond to reports of injured wildlife. So will local animal control officers. Some rehab facilities have volunteers who help with capture and transport and some don't. Usually, finders need to

[cobirds] Cattle Egrets, Lake Arbor, Jefferson

Hi Birders, I remember a few years ago there was interest in Cattle Egrets at Lake Arbor in Jefferson County. They’re back! There are 4 egrets in the grass on the north side of the lake, just east of Lamar Drive, chasing grasshoppers. The majesty of their breeding plumage is only slightly

Re: [cobirds] State wildlife areas require social security #--what can we do?

The new pass won't be available until May 1, so no way to test it out yet. When I just stepped through the process to create an account to buy a fishing license on CPW's website, I was not asked for a social security number, just a drivers license or state id number, so it looks like this

[cobirds] New Options for Birding State Wildlife Areas

Hello Birders, I received the below message from CPW today. Starting May 1, you will be able to purchase a Colorado State Wildlife Area Pass, similar to a state parks pass, to access SWAs. You will no longer be required to purchase a hunting or fishing license for access. See details on pricing

There is a female Long-tailed Duck on the lake next to the parking lot at the 88th Avenue Open Space in Adams County. This lake doesn’t appear to have a name, so here’s a link to the parking lot coordinates https://goo.gl/maps/pnSVBCayCyqUuKkQ8 She was associating with a small group of

[cobirds] Mountain Chickadees at Two Ponds NWR, Arvada

Another out-of-place sighting of Mountain Chickadees this morning. I had a pair near the main entrance of Two Ponds NWR in Arvada. I haven’t seen them here before and they aren’t listed on the Refuge checklist. Amy Amy Cervene Arvada -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

[cobirds] Black Brant - Lake Arbor - JeffCo

Hi Cobirders, I’m currently looking at a Black Brant on the south side of Lake Arbor in Jefferson County. The bird is along the edge of the ice with many Canada and Cackling Geese. Unfortunately all I’ve got with me is my phone so no pics. If anyone is close with a good camera we’d love a shot
