COBirders,

 

Yesterday afternoon Stan Murphy of Burlington sent me his photo, asking for
an I.D.  I have sent a copy of his photograph of an American Woodcock to
Rachel Hopper requesting inclusion in CFO's photo gallery on our webpage.
Here is part of the email Stan sent:  "I took the picture this afternoon
(11/28/11) near 840 N 13th Street, Burlington, Colorado 80807.  We have been
watching it for about a week out in the lawns bobbing its head up and down
driving its bill into the bluegrass to get insects, just as you have
described.  When anyone would get too close to it, it would take short
flight to get under cover within the evergreen shrubs around the houses."

 

--For the benefit of our less experienced COBirds subscribers, this species'
normal range extends west to eastern Kansas, and its habitat is woody areas
with good ground cover.  So one in town in eastern Colorado is quite
unusual.
