Cobirds:
I monitored 6 dickcissel locations in Boulder County this
morning:
1.) Baseline and 75th in large field to the west of Douglas Elementary
school. At least 9 singing males and one bobolink. Fields are due for
haying. This is the highest concentration of dickcissels so far.
2.) 75th and Valmont - fields to the north east of this location. At
least 4 singing males. Haying is underway. Dickcissel obliteration
underway.
3.) 75th and Sawhills enterance - fields to the east. 4 singing males.
Haying is underway.
4.) 75th and Walden enterance - fields to the east. 3 singing males.
More haying. More nest destruction.
5.) Teller Lake \ Valmont. At least 4 singing males, and one bobolink.
6.) East Boulder Rec Center - 1 singing male across from the tennis
courts.
Alas, the poor field birds are going under the hay makers. Thousands of
nest sites like this are destroyed every year. Most are on private land.
Some are on Open Space.
