Re: [cobirds] Kenn Kaufman's Research

I must be missing something here. How would it be imposing colonialism on other countries by changing the names to descriptive terms that can actually be translated? While “Townsend’s Warbler” means next to nothing to English speakers, “Chipe de Townsend” must mean even less to Spanish speakers. In

Re: [cobirds] Re: Benefits of Keeping the Original Bird Names.

Well said, Max.No, I would rather not be thinking about Confederate generals while I am birdwatching. In fact, neither would I prefer to think about explorers who “discovered” a species. Does that fact that Georg Steller named the species 300 years ago really have anything to do with the role that

Re: [cobirds] AOU, Changing bird names

Robert, What if we instead consider this issue from the perspective of an ever-evolving scientific community? We failed to acknowledge the destructive effects of colonialism and racism in the past, but we have a chance to improve upon that now. If we choose to “pause” our evolution now, when might

Re: [cobirds] Potential Development at Belmar Park Jeff Co

I’d love to hear more input on this from other perspectives as well. Based on some input from others, I’m personally not as concerned about this development as something like Barr Lake, but I’m willing to change my opinion.What I’ve heard is that the area that’s being developed is not really active

[cobirds] White Ibis at Belmar

Not sure if this has been reported here yet, but starting yesterday a handful of reports started coming in for a White Ibis at Belmar. It continues today on the island in the middle of the lake. Seems possible that this is the same one that has been making its rounds of the front range over the

Re: [cobirds] Broad-winged Hawk + Yellow-throated Warbler (Arapahoe)

I looked for the Yellow-Throated Warbler first thing this morning and then again at around 7:30, with no luck. It could still be around if someone with more patience wants to give it a shot! I only spent about 30 minutes total looking around the spot. The rest of the open space was very lovely,

[cobirds] Glossy Ibis, Chatfield SP (JeffCo)

Today at around 10:00 we spotted a group of four ibis west of the kingfisher parking lot on the south side of Chatfield. A group of more experienced birders helped confirm that one was a Glossy due to the lack of white face, dark eye (instead of red), and dark facial skin (instead of pink). Didn

Almost certain we just refound this Summer Tanager. Just north of the banding station this time, in a clump of trees near the path. A little south of the bench. It had a mostly red head (pale, not the brilliant red of adults), a thicker bill than Western Tanager, darker wings and yellow below t

Brown Pelican continues at the end of a spit on the southeast side of the lake, easily seen from the wildlife viewing area to the east. It’s resting near a large group of white pelicans. - Evan > On Apr 18, 2022, at 12:55 PM, Joey Angstman wrote: > > My dad (Burke Angstman) found the Brown P
