[cobirds] Barr Lake Bobwhite
Any Bobwhite at Barr Lake and for that matter west of Greeley at least are all escapes. There are large numbers of hunting clubs that release them for shooting events and those that are not harvested, wander around until they die from predators or winter as they are not adapted to living in the wild.

[cobirds] Gray-headed junco 6,000 ft. Larimer County 7/26
Seems a bit early for our local (red superman cape) breeding juncos to come down out Of the mountains.1 seen briefly at the water feature. I’ve had them winter until May 30th before, but I think this is my first July sighting. Had a western tanager and female black-headed grosbeak sitting side by side waiting A turn at the suet (house finch was camped out on it). Nice picture that I didn’t get! Seems a poor year for calliope hummers; maybe a plethora of wildflowers means they Aren’t at the (my) feeders? I’ve only seen 1 or two. Red crossbills have been daily here for 3 months; pinyon jays not seen much, so NOT Very reliable currently. Hairy woodpecker family is a real hoot; the youngsters will Do almost anything (land on a vertical ½ in metal pole and stay there for 3 minutes looking Around, etc. Don’t know what they will do for fun when I take the hummingbird feeders Down, as they pop off 3-5 yellow flowers daily. d Davis - at 6,000 ft.

Re: [cobirds] Baird's Sparrow-Larimer
The 5 mile stretch of County Road 5 that includes the Baird's Sparrow location in Larimer County is now a hotspot on eBird. Folks should take advantage of submitting a complete checklist if they go up that way. Previously submitted lists can now be merged with the new hotspot.

[cobirds] Re: Bobwhite - Barr Lake - Adams Co
Ira, A little/lot more historical than you want, but in 2009 or 2010 there was a group of Bobwhites around the Barr banding station area for a few days. We even caught one. No one I talked to then knew where they had come from.
