[cobirds] Solitary Sandpiper Platte River Denver County

Hi all, I regularly ride the stretch of the Platte River from REI to the Downtown Aquarium, right by Elitch's. The past few weeks, I've seen plenty of Killdeer on the sand banks, sometimes up to a dozen of them. Last Friday I saw a Black Crowned Night Heron perched in the falls at the conflue

[cobirds] Re: basemar trap

I had no luck finding the BTBW this morning around 8:30am. I looked all along the trap for about 20 minutes from the Broadway bridge to 28th St underpass. One other birder was looking as well. We both lamented that we're probably a day or two too late. Lots of birds, though! A couple Spott

[cobirds] snow goose, 48th and Ward, Jefferson County

Hey all, I saw a snow goose while driving north on Ward Road at 48th this morning about 9:30am. It was mixed in with a flock of about 20 Canadian geese. I believe there may also have been a second one, a juvenile, in the group as well. The flock was on the east side of Ward, between 48th and

Refound again this morning (Sat Jan 5) at 10am. Same tree as described by Ira (you'll see two white trash cans near that tree as another landmark). On Friday, January 4, 2019 at 10:58:19 AM UTC-7, Ira Sanders wrote: > > Birders > Just refound the yellow-bellied sapsucker in the first pine tre

[cobirds] Tennessee Warbler (?) Vanderbilt Park Denver County

Hey all, I chased the Tennessee Warbler this morning at 7:45am at Vanderbilt Park. I found a warbler fitting the description in a group with yellow rumps at the southwest corner of the pond: distinct eye line, olive-ish tending to green. But I am not good at all with warblers, and had I not b

[cobirds] Re: Yellow-Throated Vireo Denver

I re-found the yellow-throated vireo again this morning (Thurs May 21) at about 7am. It was in the gully south of the pond and then in the trees just west of the gully. It vocalized for a bit, and that was how I tracked it down, if that helps others planning to chase it. I'll post an e-bird l

[cobirds] Sloans Lake storm fallout (Marbled Godwit, Stilt Sandpiper) Denver County

On a quick lunch run to Sloans Lake, the storm fallout was impressive. I saw a Marbled Godwit and a Stilt Sandpiper. Several more sandpipers as well, including a Least, and potentially a Pectoral (need to check my pictures). Non-rarities, but still of interest: a big group of yellow-headed

[cobirds] American Golden Plover, Sloans Lake, Denver County

Hey all, Matt Baker spotted an American Golden Plover at Sloans Lake, north shore, near Xavier and Byron around noon today. Several folks (include myself and Eric Dinkel) got great looks. Eric has photos. Other rare birds: greater yellowlegs, pectoral sandpiper. Thanks, Peter Peter Stoltz
