[cobirds] Last Chance,Washington co.
On Friday, May 15, I stopped briefly at Last Chance, CO. while on my way to another destination. Thought I'd see more variety and not much was there. Two Orchard Orioles[1, ad. male, and 1, first year male], were a pretty sight. 1, Northern Waterthrush, was at the edge of the sunken pond. One Brown Thrasher was present along with Five Great-tailed Grackles, many Western Kingbirds, one Western Wood- Pewee, one Say's Phoebe, and Cliff and Barn Swallows . Two Lark Sparrow, and Swainson's Hawk were in the area also. Last Chance is at the intersection of highway 71 and highway 36. Happy birding !

[cobirds] Bear Creek Regional Park Spring Count, El Paso County - 63 species
COBirders, Today 28 birders participated in the annual Bear Creek Regional Park spring count in Colorado Springs. Two species were new for the count (Evening Grosbeak, Lewis Woodpecker), and N. Goshawk was spotted for the second time since count started in 1995 (3rd Saturday of May). In recent years we've had super eastern warbler rarities on this count, but not today (sad face). Total numbers of birds, many that migrate through this riparian corridor/park, were down about 40% compared with the mean for the last 7 years. Similarly, the total count of 63 species was below the mean the last 7 yrs of 68 species (for comparison, last year 87 species was a record high for this spring count). Given the surge last Sunday - Tuesday in Colorado Springs region, we may be between migrant pulses here (e.g., no tanagers today). Get ready for next week!?

[cobirds] Re: Fremont County - Golden-winged Warbler
This afternoon, I walked from the farthest east location that you can park off Raynolds Ave. I think it is less of a walk from this location than from the new MacKenzie Ave. Parking location. There were quite a few birds at the Golden-winged Warbler location this afternoon. Great find Robb, I believe only the 2nd sighting in Fremont County. Both were on the Canon City Riverwalk.

Re: [cobirds] Welchester Yellow-throated Vireos
I suspect three together is unprecedented in Colorado, but it's shaping up to be a great year for Yellow-throated Vireo. I know of other reports this spring in Baca, Prowers, Weld and also the west slope! With birds, almost anything can happen.

[cobirds] RMBO Chatfield Banding Report, 5/16/15
Yesterday, we noted with great excitement the return of 3 birds banded in 2008 (1 Warbling Vireo and 2 Yellow Warblers). We could hardly contain ourselves today when we recaptured a Yellow Warbler banded as a young male in 2006. He has been caught every year except one since then. We marked the occasion by photographing him in front of a new poster about our frequently returning YEWAs that was prepared by long-time volunteer Gary Mattes. (2006 was our first year at our current banding station location.) Another day with numerous one-of-a-species, perfect for Hugh and Urling Kingery's Beginning Birder class; Black-capped Chickadee 1 House Wren 4 Hermit Thrush 1 Gray Catbird 1 Yellow Warbler 3 new, 3 returns (from 2006, 2011 and 2012) Yellow-rumped Warbler (Audubon's) 1 MacGillivray's 1 Common Yellowthroat 1 Yellow-breasted Chat 2 Chipping Sparrow 1 (FOS) Lincoln's Sparrow 1 Mountain White-crowned Sparrow 1 Brown-headed Cowbird 1 Open daily, weather permitting, through the end of May, from 7 to about 11.

[cobirds] RMBO Banding at Chico Basin Ranch, El Paso Co.
After losing most of last week to rain and other weather-related challenges, we were back to work this week at the CBR banding station. The week began on Sunday with our first Western Tanagers and Yellow-breasted Chats of the season. Monday was a productive day of banding with a total of 46 birds that included the first Red-breasted Nuthatch, Gray Catbird, and Mountain White-crowned Sparrow, along with a surprise duo of Killdeer! The first Ovenbird and Mourning Dove were captured on Tuesday. Wednesday brought in the first Plumbeous Vireo, American Goldfinch, and an uncommonly banded species, Brown-headed Cowbird. Bullock’s and Orchard Oriole were seen but not captured on Wednesday, but the former was caught on Thursday. A Warbling Vireo also made its way into a net on Thursday. Friday was another good day with 45 banded, including the first Western Wood-Pewee and American Redstart of the season. Also on Friday, we recaptured an Ash-throated Flycatcher that we had been banded last May. A lovely Clay-colored Sparrow showed up in a net on Saturday. Total for the season thus far is 468 birds of 44 species banded.

[cobirds] Blue-winged Warbler, Jefferson Co
All, Having found no rare warblers in Boulder this morning, Joanie Kleypas and I wandered down to the Welchester Tree Park off 8th Avenue in Jefferson County. Around 9:15 we wended our way to the east end of the park by the creek. There we found a lady looking at the singing male Blue-winged Warbler. It was near the very top of a 10' high young tree, about 50 yards east of the boundary fence and about 20 yards north of the creek. It seemed to like this perch and sang there for a while.

[cobirds] Fremont County - Golden-winged Warbler
Earlier today in Canon City I found a Golden-winged Warbler at the McKenzie section of the riverwalk.

Also, a Broad-winged Hawk was circling above the riverwalk.

[cobirds] Bewick's Wren, Boulder County, May 16
Hello, Birders. Earlier this Saturday morning, May 16, I saw and heard a *Bewick wren* near the southwest corner of Teller Lake No. 5, Boulder County. I viewed and listened from the trail: Walk straight south from the parking lot of Valmont Road, then the trail makes a 90-degree turn left (east), then a 90-degree turn right (south again); that's where I was, looking north, toward the lake, into the vast grove of Russian olives. Not sure about access here; I didn't leave the trail. Other birds in the area: singing *bobolinks* and *savannah sparrows* aplenty; very few migrants, just a few *Audubon warblers* and *chipping sparrows*, 1 *clay-colored sparrow*, and a *"whit" empid* (likely dusky or gray). Sorry for the brevity. I have to deal now with three soccer matches in two counties . . .
