Hello, Birders. Here's the complete list of birds seen by folks at the 2011 Colorado Field Ornithologists' convention, held May 20th-23rd in Grand Junction. We tallied at least 202 species--181 species on the main list, plus 21 of those delectable "write-in" species. What a fantastic effort: Many, many thanks to Coen Dexter and the field trip leaders, and, of course, to the nearly 200 conference attendees who went on field trips and helped find all these great birds.
As is always the case, there were a few surprising misses. Let's deal with those up front. If you saw or heard any of the following in connection with your attendance at the CFO convention, please let me know; and I'll add your birds to our master bird list--which, when completed, will be archived on the CFO website. For starters, I believe one or more owl species may be missing from the checklist. (I'd heard we had 8 species, and there aren't that many species, as of right now, on the convention bird list.) Okay, here are the misses: Bufflehead, Ferruginous Hawk, Greater Yellowlegs, Lesser Yellowlegs, Black Tern, Band-tailed Pigeon, Northern Pygmy-Owl, Common Poorwill, Williamson’s Sapsucker, American Three-toed Woodpecker, Clark’s Nutcracker, Purple Martin, Pygmy Nuthatch, Brown Creeper, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Brown-capped Rosy-Finch, Red Crossbill, White-winged Crossbill. DID YOU RECORD ANY OF THOSE WHILE AT THE CFO CONVENTION? If so, please let me know. And here now is the complete checklist, with "normal"/expected species up front, then the 21 write-ins at the end: 1. Canada Goose 2. Wood Duck 3. Gadwall 4. American Wigeon 5. Mallard 6.
