One of the features I like about e-bird is the way it flags rare birds, including common species that would be unexpected at the time of year of the observation. Birding today in the Fort Collins-Wellington area of eastern Larimer County, I stumbled upon the following “E-bird rarities”:
Swamp Sparrow (at Dixon Reservoir, photographed – I will send the link to the photo shortly) Field Sparrow (at Wellington SWA) Tree Swallow (2 at Reservoir Ridge Natural Area/Claymore Lake) Cinnamon Teal (1 female/juv at Reservoir Ridge N.A./Claymore Lake) Other goodies: Northern Mockingbird (at Wellington SWA) White-throated Sparrow (3 at 3 locations) Common Loon (1 in breeding plumage at North Poudre Reservoir #3) Sandhill Cranes (13 at north shore of N. Poudre Res. #3, plus flyovers elsewhere) Nick Komar Fort Collins CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
