[cobirds] Re: Vermilion Flycatcher in Pueblo 4/5 -- correction and photos
I just realized, my post below said, Joy and Richard Lake, it should be Joy and Leonard Lake who re-found the bird. Sorry to Leonard, for messing up your name. I think nine birders were able to see the Vermilion Flycatcher today though 530pm or a little after. Hope it stays for the crowd that is coming tomorrow morning. Photos can be seen at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/brandonsbirdphotos/ Brandon Percival Pueblo West, CO From: Brandon K. Percival The last location of the male Vermilion Flycatcher, was west of the Cottonwood Picnic Area, along the Arkansas River, between this parking lot and road bridge (this is east/below Pueblo Reservoir dam), Pueblo County. It on both sides of the river, and seen by several people from the road bridge looking east. The bird was first found by Pearle Sandstorm-Smith and Clif Smith. Several of us searched for hours in the heat, and couldn't find it, Joy and Richard Lake, re-found it from the road bridge. There is a territorial singing Eastern Phoebe under this bridge, which did chase the Vermilion Flycatcher a couple of times. I'll try to post tomorrow as early as possible, if it is still present.

And, as has become the norm this year, there were an equal number of people, oblivious to what was taking place, getting in the way, occupying our immediate space, making hawk watching more difficult than it might be otherwise. Weather: A warm sunny day with limited cloud cover, winds were variable and ranged in strength from calm to 3 BFT Raptor Observations: Most of the migrating birds were observed at the limit of binoculars and west of the ridge. Birds were for the most part circling up in thermals and gliding away to the north. Only the Kestrels passed close to the station. Mid-morning a Peregrine circled up south of the station, then glided away directly north at a high rate of speed until it was out of sight, it was counted as a migrator. The two local Peregrines appeared mid-afternoon circling for a period of time above the station. A number of local Red-tailed Hawks were seen throughout the day, several non-migrating Turkey Vultures were observed along west ridge. Non-raptor Observations: Other bird species seen included: Mountain Bluebird, Black-capped Chickadee, Mountain Chickadee, American Crow, Northern Flicker, Western Scrub-Jay, Black-billed Magpie, Western Meadowlark, Common Raven, American Robin, White-throated Swift, and Spotted Towhee. Predictions: Looks like a another nice day tomorrow with strong winds out of the south and west, only the birds know for sure. Report submitted by Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory (jeff.bi...@rmbo.org) Dinosaur Ridge information may be found at: http://www.rmbo.org/ Site Description: Dinosaur Ridge is the only regularly staffed hawkwatch in Colorado and is the best place in the world to see migrating Ferruginous Hawks. Dinosaur Ridge may be the best place in the country to see the rare dark morph of the Broad-winged Hawk (a few are seen each spring). Hawkwatchers who linger long enough may see resident Golden Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks and Prairie Falcons, in addition to migrating Swainson's, Cooper's and Sharp-shinned Hawks, American Kestrels and Turkey Vultures. Peregrine Falcons and Ferruginous Hawks are uncommon; Northern Goshawk is rare but regular. Non-raptor species include Rock Wren, and sometimes Bushtit, Western Bluebird, Sandhill Crane, White-throated Swift, American White Pelican or Dusky Grouse. Birders are always welcome. The hawkwatch is generally staffed by volunteers from the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory from about 9 AM to around 4 PM from the first week of March to the first week of May.

[cobirds] Morgan/Weld Easter Birding
Tina Jones and I went out on the NE plains today for grassland and water birds. Ponds are full of dabbling ducks, but diving ducks were harder to find. To start the day we had a FOS Swainson's Hawk at Ireland Reservoir between Hudson and Keansburg. We continued on to Andrick SWA and Jackson Reservoir; the former was full of ducks with a heavy dose of American White Pelicans plus 3 or 4 Bonaparte's Gulls. Three Northern Harriers were "messing around" in the area, too. Jackson was not very active other than Ring-billed Gulls and Western Grebes, but there was a small group of 9 Snow Geese way out on the water. We headed north from Jackson, and made a snap decision to try for longspurs noting that Briggsdale is about as close to Jackson Res. as it is to anything else! On the way we had another Swainson's in Weld, just beyond the NW corner of Morgan County. At Murphy's Pasture we had a smattering of McCown's Longspurs, and then we accidentally flushed a group of about 15 along the road being observed by a visitor from Alabama. He accepted our apology with such grace that he pointed up on to a spot where he had seen Chestnut-collareds as well. We backtracked to WCR 86 just west of WCR 105 where we found said birds. (Unlike Mark Miller's trip to Washington County we could not add a Mountain Plover.) Then we turned for home via the Loloff/Latham area. Loloff's resident Black-necked Stilts were present at the north end while the playa on the south side of WCR 48 at Lower Latham not only had another stilt flying around, it had three Lesser Yellowlegs joining a couple of Greaters plus four Baird's Sandpipers.

Re: [cobirds] Long-tailed Duck, Larimer Co
Just to be fair and clear to everyone, Windsor birder Judy Sanborn found the 2 birds (a long awaited dream bird of hers) and I'm the one who informed everyone about it.

[cobirds] Swainson's Hawks (Boulder/Weld), longspurs et al (Washington) 4/5
Hi Everyone- I saw my FOS Swainson's Hawks today 4/5 along CO-52: one soaring near WCR 3 1/2, the other perched in a tree just east of the intersection with US-287. This was on the way back from checking out the longspurs along CR KK in Washington County: 20 Chestnut-collared, 10 McCowns. One Mountain Plover was at CR KK and Road 20. A Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrel was busy chasing down Red-legged Grasshoppers here. His success rate was maybe 10%, but he kept at it. Along the stretch of CR KK from CR 12 to CR 22, I saw five Rough-legged Hawks, all light morph.

[cobirds] Phoebes, Boulder, and wildlife closure areas
All: With all the hoopla about the 3 species of phoebes now at the 75th St Bridge at 75th and Boulder Creek, many birders are coming to see the show. Note: Several birders are ignoring the Conservation Habitat signs for Lower Boulder Creek. If you cross 75th going east, on either side to the creek (north or south) you are subject to fines. Don't be tempted to do this. The area is off limits, except for research permit holders. And rangers and researches do patrol this area. Avoid the temptation, and lets not give the birding community a "black-eye." That said: All three phoebe species are easily seen on the West Side of the bridge (the legal side) near the parking area. The black phoebe has been actively calling and feeding all weekend in this area. On Saturday the eastern phoebe was seen collecting nesting materials, and trying to carry them up under the street bridge, but was frightened off several times by people standing under the bridge. A say's phoebe can be seen further west along the Heatherwood Trail near the footbridge by the water treatment plant. There is also a dipper singing and foraging under the 75th street bridge. Other notes: Western and Mountain bluebirds are in Boulder Mt Park. Check the NCAR parking lot area up Table Mesa Drive. Bushtits seen along the Mesa Trail near NCAR Turkey vultures have arrived in numbers throughout Boulder County Common grackles and mourning doves have returned to Boulder, Lafayette, and Louisville Male towhee numbers are increasing as well as songs - Boulder and Louisville Wild Turkeys seen along the Mesa Trail near Shannahan Ridge Great Horned owls are on nest is several locations in Boulder County as well as Bald Eagles and Red Tailed Hawks (prolific). Blooms and events: Wild plum just started: when wild plum is in full bloom along the foothills, watch for returning warblers such as orange-crowned, yellow, Audubon's, McGillvray's. and Virginia's Yellow violet - a signal that prairie falcons are on nests Oregon Grape - towhees are singing vigorously Sand Lilly's - sandhill cranes are migrating Dandelions - robins singing and returning You get the picture. Also: bladderpod, goldenbanner, spring beauties, bastard toadflax (not to be confused with toadflax), Wyeth bisquitroot, desert parsley, buttercup ssp., and others Animals seen \ Boulder County: Fox squirrel, aberts squirrel, chickaree, mule deer, red fox, black tailed prairie dog. Up higher in RMNP Larimer County side: Signs: Moose, Elk, Mule Deer, Coyote, Red Fox, Pocket Gopher, Vole ssp; Jumping mice ssp; - bird life quiet but did note mountain bluebirds in good numbers. Everything is connected. Including that ticket the ranger just gave you. ;) Happy birding, John T (Tumasonis) of Louisville CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

Re: [cobirds] Long-tailed Duck, Larimer Co
Hello Chuck and all, Thank you Chuck for the update on the Long-tailed Ducks! I do have to refuse any finding ownership of these beautiful individuals. I was third or fourth hand in the info chain (I heard of it through Megan Miller through Austin Hess who I think heard through David Wade). Anyway, these birds are at a relatively small pond. If you are interested in viewing this species without the need for a scope, this is the occasion. When I went, I was able to pick them out with the naked eye at first. They were always at least in binocular range.
