[cobirds] Chatfield area and Ken Caryl area Apr 8 (Jefferson/Douglas)
My first *Broad-tailed Hummingbird* of the season visited my ready-and-waiting feeders at my Ken Caryl Valley home early this morning. At Chatfield SP the Swim Beach had 38 *Franklin's Gulls*, 2 *Bonaparte's* and growing numbers of *Western Grebes *and *Am. White Pelicans*. An *Audubon's Yellow-rumped Warbler* there was my first this season. At the small pond immediately south of the Deer Creek inlet (just upshore from the Swim Beach) there was a singing *Eastern Phoebe* and 3 *Rusty Blackbirds*. (all these were Jeffco) Plum Creek Nature Area had an early male *Common Yellowthroat *in the cattail marsh there, and my first of season *Swainson's Hawk* was soaring off to the south. 10 *Burrowing Owls* were in view in the usual area along the west side of Roxborough Road (Douglas CR 3) from 1.2-1.4 miles south of Titan Road. *White-throated Swifts* have returned to the hogback cliffs along Deer Creek, with 16 in view when I stopped there this morning. This afternoon a flock of 26 *Franklin's Gulls* passed north over Ken Caryl Valley and a *Ruby-crowned Kinglet* visited my yard in the company of the lately resident pair of *Bushtits*. The latter continue daily and I think they are intent on nesting, but if they have begun I am still without concrete clues. Interestingly, every so often the 2 Bushtits become a foursome.

[cobirds] Weld County on 4/8
First stop was the pasture/pdog town e of Weld CR57 just s of SR14 - NO Mountain Plover, the target of the day. I got to Crow Valley Campground by mid-morning and checked Briggsdale after that. Highlights were: Water in Crow Creek Merlin (female, which actually vocalized at one point while interacting with a kestrel) Common Grackles (several) Brown-headed Cowbird (1m) Black-billed Magpie (2) - I have always taken issue with the sign erected by the Forest Service just west of the main picnic shelter which has 5 different kinds of birds on it, two of which either don't occur at CVCG or are very rare. The two are red-phase Eastern Screech-Owl and Black-billed Magpie. The other three are somewhat unexciting choices (Western Meadowlark, Mourning Dove and Bullock's Oriole) but at least they are characteristic of the site. The person who chose the subject matter for the sign many years ago is obviously psychic because a couple magpies finally showed up. Sitting in an office in Greeley made the job of guessing what birds might be out there even more impressive. Say's Phoebe (1) RING-NECKED DUCK (1m, 2f) Does anyone have that on their Crow Valley list? Blot out the red owl and put a female Ring-necked Duck in its place. Mourning Dove (1) Mountain Plover (1 - in a fallow field south of the high school football field in Briggsdale) Chorus Frogs chorusing loudly Variegated Meadowhawk (FOY odonate for me) Painted Lady (FOY for me) Sand Lilies in bloom Ann and John Reichert (thanks for the PBJ sandwich on awesome bread!) [no Canyon Wren] Total of 24 bird species Weld CR86 s of CR105 Chestnut-collared Longspur (dozens hidden in wheat stubble overtopped by blown Russian thistles (tumbleweed)) McCown's Longspur (several) Dan Stringer Ann and John Reichert I went south on 105 to WeldCR74(=Morgan CR KK) w to 93 and back north to SR14 Mountain Plover (1 in a dry playa on 105 that often covers both sides of the road s of 86) several Swainson's Hawks (FOY for me, obviously a huge influx of late) Vesper Sparrow (FOY) along 93 w of 84 in a stand of Atriplex (fourwing saltbush) Crom Lake (Weld CR31 s of 90 = west of Pierce) American Avocet (4- FOY) Greater Yellowlegs (1) Yellow-headed Blackbird (heard in the cattails) Ring-necked Pheasant (2i) Populations of grasshopper species that overwinter as adults are impressive in many areas of the grasslands at present, especially the Redshanked Grasshopper (Xanthippus corallipes). The Loggerhead Shrikes will work themselves into a tizzy trying to figure out which one to impale. It will be like the time my youngest son Grant many moons ago as a toddler encountered his first escalator and kept waiting for the perfect, best step to jump on.

[cobirds] Zone-tailed Hawk/Kit Carson county, April 8th at 4:45 pm
Hello, I am posting this for Riley and Heather Morris, of Durango, CO, who are on the road today. While driving through the town of Burlington, Riley and Heather id'd a Zone-tailed Hawk hanging loosely with 12 Turkey Vultures floating above Burlington. Obvious white band mid-tail. Wingtips less fingered than TUVU. They chased the bird through town and were able to get photos. They will post the pictures and more information when they get to a computer.

[cobirds] Re: Boulder Broad-tailed Hummingbird
We, too, had a male broad-tail at our feeders in Roxborough Park on April 7. It's the earliest we have seen in our five years here. Our previous earliest here was April 19, 2013. My wife, who has been keeping records for 30 years, puts feeders out in mid-March, and we have seen broad-tails as early as March 27, when we lived in Golden, which is about 80 feet lower in elevation from where we now live.

Good thing. Just had a hungry male Broad-tailed at one of my feeders. I have 17 years of records here, and this is the earliest by a week. Previous earliest was on 14 April in 2003 and 2010.

Also an observer from the 1990's, Greg Thomas. He and his wife helped with spotting and for a couple of hours. Weather: Mostly or partly cloudy all day with a horizon haze that limited distant spotting. SE winds were mild in the morning at about 1 Bft., but shifted to the NE at about 2 to 3 Bft. and in the afternoon. Temperatures warmed from the low 40's to the low 50's Raptor Observations: Raptor migration was highlighted by an afternoon push of 29 low flying American Kestrels. Other migrating raptors were Red-tailed Hawk, Turkey Vultures, and accipiters (Cooper's and some unidentified). Migration flight was very generally lower altitude and near the ridge line. Local activity included a few Turkey Vultures, Red-tails, Cooper's Hawks and what was most likely the Red Rocks Peregrine. Non-raptor Observations: Also seen or heard were Spotted Towhee, American Robin, Townsend's Solitaire, Black-Billed Magpie, Common Raven, American Crow, Western Meadow Lark, Western Scrub Jay, Northern Flicker, and a pair of high flying Great Blue Heron. Predictions: Unsettled weather could bode for another good day. 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. Directions to site: From exit 259 on I-70 towards Morrison, drive south under freeway and take left into first parking lot, the Stegosaurus lot. Follow small signs from the south side of lot to hawkwatch site. The hike starts heading east on an old two-track and quickly turns south onto a trail on the west side of the ridge. When the trail nears the top of the ridge, turn left, head through the gate, and walk to the clearly-visible, flat area at the crest of

No visitors to the site. Low foot traffic on the trail. Weather: Heavy, low cloud cover dominated the morning before thinning out in early afternoon. 100%-5% with low ceiling at about 7000 ft. covering most local peaks. - A heavy haze reduced visibility to 5-7 miles persisted throughout the day. Light winds 1-2 Beaufort scale with occasional gusts higher. Temperatures 43-52F (4-12C). 0-precipitation. Raptor Observations: Little activity at beginning of day. 10 raptors were eventually seen. One Osprey tried to sneak by unnoticed on the east side of the ridge. Bill Wuerthele's acute eyes and the help of a telescope found 6 Turkey Vultures high and far over the western ridge and disappearing into the clouds. They were believed to be migrating and were recorded as such. A sole Turkey Vulture was the last migrant at eye level on the west side of the ridge. A single Red-tailed was also seen migrating on the east side of the ridge. A high flying unknown accipiter was being harassed by a Black-billed Magpie. It was believed to be a Cooper's Hawk based on its flight pattern. It broke away and migrated north and was recorded as Unknown due to lack of other ID traits. Non-raptor Observations: Local raptors seen were 4 male American Kestrels and 1 female Kestrel. The local Prairie Falcon displayed his aerial skills before landing on a telephone pole low over the east side. 2 Sharp-shinned Hawks were also observed south of the site. Numerous adult Red-tailed Hawks including a dark morph juvenile were also seen. Elk and Mule deer along with a Cotton-tail rabbit were seen. Also heard or seen were American Robins, Western Scrub Jays, Spotted Towhees, Western Meadowlarks, Common Ravens, Townsend's Solitaire, Northern Flickers, Black-billed Magpies, unidentified Swallow and Chickadees. Predictions: Forecast calls for cooler temperatures with accompanying winds and possibility of minimal scattered showers late in the day.

[cobirds] Black-and-white Warbler - Garden of the Gods Park - El Paso County
COBirders, I saw/photographed my FOS female Black-and-white Warbler in Garden of the Gods Park (El Paso County) today, 8 April, at about 11:00 a.m. It was foraging in Gambel's oaks between Parking Lots #6 #7 and the main permanent cement trail, westernmost part of the Central Garden. She called once every now and then. I guess it is time to start looking for migrant warblers.

[cobirds] unsuccessful search for Brown Pelican (Weld Co.)
I searched ponds and lakes from St Vrain SP and Union Reservoir out to Lower Latham Reservoir this morning and have been unable to re-find the Brown Pelican found by Dawn Albright on Monday at St Vrain SP (appeared in ebird alerts early this week, strangely not there now). There are plenty of places for the bird to hide, and my success rate for re-finding birds is low, so all these locations are worth a check again. Best birds found during the search were a first/second year Glaucous Gull south of Lower Latham Reservoir, Sandhill Cranes in the same area, and a Cattle Egret at Behrens reservoir.
