Due to the late, snowy spring, my Say's Phoebes nested really late.  Today
is actually Day 19 posthatch and they are about ready to try their stubby
wings!  These photos were taken yesterday afternoon.

 

Happy 4th!

[cobirds] 4th of July Trail - Arapahoe Glacier, Boulder County

2013-07-04 Thread JohnT
Cobirds:
  More high country shenanigans.   From 4th of July Trailhead, 
on the 4th of July, in Indian Peaks Wilderness - Boulder County.  
Approximate elevations 9,500 to 12,300 feet.  End at Arapahoe Glacier 
Overlook at 12,300.
 
Fantastic colors and views today.  Wildflowers are peaking everywhere.
 
Bird highlights: 
 
White Tailed Ptarmigan - only 1 on this trip, but it from 4 feet away and 
showed no fear.  Great photo ops.  (Note: saw and heard 11 on the Mount 
Audubon Trail last weekend).  
 
Brown capped rosy finches - only 3 
 
Fox sparrow - 3 singing
 
Horned lark - above 12,000 feet - 1
 
American pipit - 16 - skylarking
 
Cassin's finch - 2 - both singing - one looked like its head was dipped in 
bright vermillion paint
 
Pine grosbeak - 2
 
Gray jay - 1
 
Clark's nutcracker - 4
 
White crowned sparrow - 14 - vigorously singing
 
Lincoln's sparrow - 6 singing
 
And:  Cordilleran flycatcher, Dusky flycatcher, Ruby crowned kinglet 
(lots), Audubon's warbler, Wilson's warbler.  
 
Pikas:  about 30
Marmots:  about 20 - and not afraid. 
 
Too many flowers to name; many in bunches along the trail side including 
blue columbines, bluebells, yellow violets, violet shooting stars, alpine 
avens, alplily, marsh marigold, yellow glacier lily, drawf clover, parry 
primrose, elderberry, dandelions, American bistort, etc. etc. 
 
To get to Arapahoe Glacier Trailhead - go to town of Eldora and beyond - 
when the road spits past Eldora go right and follow the sign that says 4th 
of July Trailhead - go 4 miles on a rough nasty road to the parking area 
and start hiking from there.  Round trip to the overlook is about 8 miles - 
considerable elevation gain.  And you will need hiking gear.

[cobirds] TRICOLORED HERON and one Green Heron at Holcim Wetlands east of Florence this morning

2013-07-04 Thread SeEtta Moss
The TRICOLORED HERON  continues at Holcim Wetlands and I saw it on the west
side as it has usually been seen since it returned.  I also had a Green
Heron out in the open in the same area.  I have photos of both that I have
uploaded to my Birds and Nature blog http://birdsandnature.blogspot.com/.

It was really getting warm again so please keep in mind that there is
limited shade at Holcim Wetlands and close to a half mile walk in to see
the bird.
