[cobirds] A bit more around Weld County
April 30: Glossy Ibis west of Bebee Draw with flock of ten WF Ibis. Sorry for late report, wasn't sure it was worth reporting. May 2: White-throated Sparrow at Pearson Park located just west of Ft. Lupton off of Hwy. 52... Nice looking habitat in this park, but generally has produced few birds. Adult Krider's Red-tailed Hawk just east of Frederick off of CR 20/Pinecone St. A flock of eight or more late lingering Cackling Geese at Firestone Gravel Pits. Additionally one late Common Goldeneye there and four more late COGE a bit further down the road at the St. Vrain Sanitation Ponds (on CR 26 west of CR 15).

[cobirds] Painted Redstart
Cobirders, I just want to mention for those that may be newer birders in the state that this is an extremely rare bird for the state. To have one stick in such an accessible location for this length of time is unprecedented for Colorado. There is no good excuse to not hop in the car and go experience this beautiful little bugger. Plus, check out the surrounding grasslands while you are there.

[cobirds] Chico - Pueblo County - White-eyed Vireo
Today I stopped by Chico Basin Ranch (not on my way to Lamar). At Rose pond (Pueblo County) I wasn't able to find the Palm Warbler but found the much more common Virginia's Warbler. The water is still high so there isn't much shorebird habitat. There were 2 Marbled Godwit and a Willet in a flooded area near the pond. Around HQ (Pueblo County) I found a White-eyed Vireo, Plumbeous Vireo, and Townsend's Warbler.

[cobirds] PARKed by the shore...
I spent yesterday (May 2) in Park County again. I have limited time right now, so I’ll just report some of the interesting waterbirds seen from the Park County shore lines, and hope to fill out the report later with notes on some other species in another post. All the big Park reservoirs are now ice free, and Spinney Mountain SP is now open (and was loaded with fisherman). Antero Reservoir had the most shorebirds. Nearly all of them were along the shoreline southwest of the South Boat Launch, requiring walking for about 0.75 mile or farther along the shore to see the best areas. Shorebirds there included 1 BLACK-NECKED STILT, 1 WHIMBREL, 1 DUNLIN, 2 LESSER YELLOWLEGS, 1 WESTERN SANDPIPER, 4 LEAST SANDPIPERS, 3 SPOTTED SANDPIPERS, 11 MARBLED GODWITS, 36 LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS, 86 AM. AVOCETS, 6 RED-NECKED PHALAROPES, and 12 WILSON’S PHALAROPES. Three BONAPRTE’S GULLS were with Franklin’s at the North Boat Launch. One basic COMMON LOON was on the lake. Spinney Mountain Reservoir had some good birding along the first part of the shoreline past the entrance kiosk, and along the shoreline at the very last access along the main road, but most of the ducks and such were out far from shore. Among these were an adult male SURF SCOTER and a female RED-BREASTED MERGANSER. Spinney shorebirds included 3 LONG-BILLED CURLEWS, 33 LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS, 1 WESTERN SANDPIPER, 6 LEAST SANDPIPERS, 7 MARBLED GODWITS, 29 WILLETS, 6 RED-NECKED PHALAROPES, 3 WILSON’S PHALAROPES, and 22 AM. AVOCETS. At Eleven Mile Reservoir I only viewed the northwest part of the lake, scanning from Sucker Cove and the Cross Creek access areas. Lots of ducks, still, but none unusual. There was a BAIRD’S SANDPIPER, 6 AM. AVOCETS, 8 WILLETS, 1 COMMON LOON and one fly over GREAT EGRET (heading toward Spinney). The Baird’s was only visible by walking along the shoreline to the area where the South Platte flows into the lake. Tarryall Reservoir had 3 LEAST SANDPIPERS, and 2 LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS.

[cobirds] New Boulder County shorebird hotspot
Hello, Birders. In between birthday parties and soccer games (how all my Saturdays are, these days) this Saturday, May 3, I explored along N. 109th Street in Erie, eastern Boulder County. Just south of the Boulder Creek crossing, there's a new wetland created by the September 2013 floods. And it had birds, notably shorebirds: 2 Black-necked Stilts, 7 American Avocets, 1 Semipalmated Plover, 3 Killdeer, 6 Marbled Godwits, 2 Least Sandpipers, and 6 Long-billed Dowitchers. Also a Great Egret, cormorants and pelicans coming and going, and 5 White-faced Ibi. And several Vesper Sparrows, plus Swainson's Hawks going over. (Big Swainson's Hawk flight all day in eastern Boulder County.) Here's a map and coordinates for the site: http://tinyurl.com/Jasper-Road-mudflats I've channeled Jean Dixon, and she tells me that this site is going to be Boulder County's 2014 version of Clover Basin Rez in 2010 or Teller Lake No. 5 in 2012. Let's keep an eye on this place. Park safely, obey signs, bird sensibly, and post your sightings to COBirds, eBird, and CFO-Facebook. Over at Cottonwood Marsh, early in the morning, Hannah and Andrew and I saw an alternate male Cinnamon x Blue-winged Teal hybrid, 3 Eastern Kingbirds, and not a whole lot else. Early afternoon, Sale Lake (it's near a soccer field...) had an Orange-crowned Warbler and some Bushtits. Mid-afternoon, the north Boulder foothills had a lot of soccer players. And Swainson's Hawks going over. Late-afternoon, Greenlee Reservoir had the usual suspects: singing Soras (at least three have taken up residence there) and Pied-billed Grebes, singing Yellow-headed Blackbirds, and silent drake Wood Ducks. Also my first western tiger swallowtail of the year. Ted Floyd Lafayette, Boulder County, Colorado -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

[cobirds] Crow Valley. 5/3
Hi everyone, There was a good crowd this morning 5/3 at Crow Valley Campground. I wore waders for the occasion. I saw the Painted Redstart at the west end of the campground. A Pine Warbler was in the cedar in the southwest corner (waders required). Other birds of interest included a Red-naped Sapsucker, a Green-tailed Towhee, and a Swainson's Thrush.

[cobirds] Painted Redstart, 5/4, and a few other belated odds and ends
Hi all, I just thought I'd chime in and add that Tayler Brooks and I saw the Painted Redstart this morning on a quick trip to Crow Valley Campground. It was hanging out in the northwestern corner the entire time, and singing actively. I got a lengthy recording of it, which can be heard here: http://www.xeno-canto.org/176975. On another note, I just finished up two grouse tours covering most of Colorado in April. I don't have too many unusual birds to report, and no real rarities, but I did find an early Hammond's Flycatcher at Colorado National Monument on April 25th, an early Least Flycatcher at Two Buttes on April 27th, and a very early White-rumped Sandpiper amid many Western and a few Baird's Sandpipers at Lake Cheraw, also on April 27th.

[cobirds] Boulder County + birds on 5/3
I help John Vanderpoel with a Boulder County Audubon Society tour of eastern Boulder County and nearby spots today. We had a great day with a total of 115 species for our efforts (over 11 hours). We started at Walden Ponds where the many birds were mainly confined to the domain of usual suspects but included some ibis and a Long-billed Dowitcher. Sombrero Marsh was next and just about the first bird sighted by the initial car to arrive was an American Bittern (which all eventually enjoyed). We also heard a Sora call. Baseline Res. had a huge flock of Franklin's Gulls and a flock of 15 Baird's Sandpipers plus Hooded Mergansers. Next up was the Fowler Trail just east of Eldorado Springs (which we selected because it had the smallest hoard of Boulderites out embracing Mother Nature) where among the very many birds observed we had good looks at a Broad-winged Hawk. From there we traversed to CR 109 at Boulder Creek where we saw what Ted Floyd reported, save for Semi-plamated Plover. Panama was not too interesting other than a few good sparrows like Lincoln's. Nest was the St. Vrain State Park area with both big white egrets, Foster's and one Caspian Tern. The Firestone Gravel Ponds had many unexpected diving duck species and Rough-winged Swallows. Union was as Steve Mlodinow reported plus a single Willet. At that point, we headed west to Rabbit Mountain where we had a Golden Eagle and Rock Wren. Next was the Davis household west of Lyons which had a great collection of foothills birds including Western Bluebirds, Loggerhead Shrike, Cassin's Finch, Lesser Goldfinch and Scrub and Pinyon Jays. We picked up Harris's Sparrow's in Pam Piombino's yard before our last stop at the bridge over Boulde Creek at 75th St. We got our last three birds of the day there, Dipper, Eastern Phoebe and Wood Duck.
