[cobirds] Lewis's Woodpecker, Black Phoebe and Chihuahuan Raven in Canon City area 5/30

2011-06-01 Thread SeEtta Moss
Yesterday I found a Lewis's Woodpecker on the east side of the Canon City
Riverwalk (1/2 mile east of the MacKenzie Ave parking lot at Fourmile Creek
marker) investigating a large tree stump.  This species used to nest in
several large cottonwoods at this location until Starlings chased them
away.  This is the first Lewis's I have seen here in some years and hope
they will be able to re-nest at this location.

I also found a lone Black Phoebe, presumably a non-breeder, just over a 1/4
mile west of the MacKenzie Ave  parking lot in the location where there is a
large grate over the Fremont Ditch (where people can cross over to access
the river).  This has historically been a location favored by Black
Phoebes.  I can remember when Dave Pantle and I led the CFO field trip to
Canon City when the CFO Convention was held in Pueblo around 2004 (just my
memory?)--that is the location where a number of Colorado birders were able
to get their life or state Black Phoebe.  If anyone is coming down this way,
this is a good place to check if they want to see a Black Phoebe as it
provides close views (the others in public areas are in more distant
locations).

I also got a Willow Flycatcher near the MacKenzie parking lot of the Canon
City Riverwalk confirmed by several soft 'whit' calls.  I got a pretty good
photo of this bird that I have uploaded to my
BirdsAndNaturehttp://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.comblog.

I also saw Chihuahuan Raven (thick bill, long 2/3 rd of bill nasal bristles,
throat only a little shaggy) a few miles south of Canon City (on CR79 a few
hundred yards east of CR11A) getting harassed by Prairie Falcon then by a
Northern Mockingbird that was likely nesting nearby.

[cobirds] The Western Gull has moved from the sandspit at Chatfield! Quo vadis?

2011-06-01 Thread Joe Roller
I just got a call from Larry Modesitt who has arrived at the Marina sandspit
at Chatfield
and sees no birders, no gull. Many of us saw it half way between the parking
lot
and the tip of the sandspit, picking at a dead carp, around 1:00 PM and
after. Peter Gent told me that it was there when he left.
IF ANYONE saw where the bird moved to, please call me at 303 204-0828 and
post to Cobirds,
so guidance can be given to the many birders who will doubtless be arriving
after work.

I know that some West Slope birders are arriving in the AM.
If I learn anything about the latest location of the bird, I will post
promptly.
Obvious places to  check are the body of the lake and the South Platte or
Plum
Creek deltas.

[cobirds] Alder Flycatcher refound; CU East Campus, Boulder, BOULDER CO.

2011-06-01 Thread Alex Brown

At 14:45  I relocated the ALDER FLYCATCHER, previously seen last 
Sunday, along the Skunk Creek Greenway path on the CU East Campus.
This area is between Colorado Ave and Arapahoe Ave. 

The bird was foraging in dense bushes and cottonwood on Skunk Creek 
immediately east of the SyBase building which is north off Discovery 
Drive.  The spot on the bike-path is where the path crosses a ditch and 
has very low sandstone walls on either side.

The bird is a dramatically different looking empid with olive back,
yellow belly, yellow lower mandible, strong wingbars, and thin 
white eye-ring.  There are many Western Wood-Peewees in the same area.

The Black-throated gray warbler posted this morning by Rob is still
hanging out.  He is currently in some Russian olives along a small
pond about 100 yards west of the little bridge and just north of the

Cobirders,

 

The reported Western Gull was comfortably dozing at the north end of the
swim beach this evening.  Then it began preening, stood up and eventually
took wing.  It flew to the eastern side of the reservoir at approximately
7:35 pm and was last seen rounding the point near the handicap fisherman's
area heading in the direction of the south marina sand spit.

[cobirds] Late Post, Yuma Washington county

2011-06-01 Thread Tina Jones

Hi all,
Deb Carstensen and I decided to go to Bonny State Park on May 30th. [Yuma 
County].
 
To continue with the larger than normal amount of sightings for Red-headed 
Woodpeckers[at least along the front range], I had never, ever seen so many 
Red-headed Woodpeckers at Bonny before. We got to see 2, males competing for a 
f. with copulation between 2 Red-headed Woodpeckers finally. These Woodpeckers 
were litterally everywhere in the park. There were many Eastern Phoebes 
throughout the park also. Another highlight was seeing a pair mate. I saw 
several Orchard Orioles, along with Bullock's chattering in the trees. Like the 
Kingery's we saw many Western Wood- Pewees. Eastern Bluebirds, Warbling Vireos, 
too many Western Kingbirds and 2 Rattle Snakes were sighted.
 
The highlight was seeing one Bell's Vireo, and hearing 2  separate ones.
 
The winds were outrageous and most birds were hunkered down in the grass or 
shrubs.
Hale Ponds were the highest I've ever seen them.
 
We saw the resident species but I know we did not see alot of birds because of 
the wind.
 
Continuing east on highway 36, about 20 miles east of Last Chance was a pond on 
the north side of 36. One Black Tern and 7, Wilson Phalarope were at this 
pond/pothole.[Washington cty]. At Last Chance I saw 3 f. American Redstart. 
Only 1, Swainson Thrush was seen.[Washington cty]
 
On 5/29, we both saw 1, ad. m. American Redstart, at Brush State Wildlife Area, 
just north of the town of Brush,[Morgan County]
 
happy birding!!

Littleton, Jefferson County, CO

 After watching the Western Gull fly east from the North entrance swim
 beach at 7:30 I headed back to the marina and confirmed that the gull
 had settled back on that side of the lake. At the moment it is on the
 east side directly north from the east edge of the car parking lot for
 the boat launch.
 Thanks to all who provided updates through the day and good luck for
 those coming out tomorrow.
