[cobirds] Red-eyed Vireo - Barr Lake - Adams County

[Robert Martinez]

After a long morning of birding Weld County my wife and I decided to visit 
Barr Lake to see the Barn Owls, (we did), on our way back to the visitor 
Center we happened upon a small group of birders looking at a Vireo in the 
trees by the shore, looked with them and found a foraging Red-eyed Vireo 
about 30 feet above the path.  nice look at the stripe on his face and then 
he turned into the sunlight and there it was a definite red -eye.

[cobirds] Bobolink west of Walden, Jackson

[Charles Hundertmark]

Late afternoon a singing Bobolink gave several nice looks just west of Walden. 
The bird was on a fence along the dirt road that heads north beside the caboose 
west of town. It was roughly 1/4 mile from the highway.

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 5/21/16

[meredith . mcburney]

Today seemed to mark the beginning of real activity among Yellow Warblers - 
We banded 6 new, caught 3 from prior years, caught another 6 banded earlier 
this season. In several instances, we caught a male and female side by side 
in the net. Our "best bird" of the day was a female American Redstart, a 
species that we believe breeds at Chatfield but we rarely catch.  Here's 
the breakdown on the 22 new and 3 returns:

House Wren 3
Swainson's Thrush 1
Gray Catbird 3
Yellow Warbler 6 new, 3 returns (2 banded 2015, 1 in 2014)
American Redstart 1
Common Yellowthroat 3
Wilson's Warbler 1
Yellow-breasted Chat 2
Spotted Towhee 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Open daily, weather permitting, through June 2, EXCEPT for May 30. It is 
almost always better to visit early in the morning. We are opening nets at 
6:30, and most days will have birds back at the station by 7:15. There are 
school groups every weekday, arriving about 9:45. We aim to close by noon 
most days, earlier if it is very hot, very cold, or very windy.

Re: [cobirds] White-eyed Vireo Arap Cty Continues

[Jared Del Rosso]

I heard the vireo around 11:45, while walking my dog at deKoevend. There 
was also an Olive-sided Flycatcher, a Western Wood-Pewee, and a Western 
Kingbird farther northwest on the trail. 

While watching the vireo, it went silent while two boys adventured off 
trail, near the canal. I hung around for fifteen minutes after they left 
and didn't hear the bird. The vireo has hung around the same 20 or so yards 
along the canal for several days now, even as the town has mowed the grass 
between the trail and canal -- and despite the regular activity at the 
park. So hopefully it hasn't been scared off. If you go looking for the 
bird this afternoon or evening, it'd be great to know if it is still 
around.

Hi all,
The vireo was seen about 1/4 of a mile down the Highlight canal trail on the 
west side, occasionally singing.

[cobirds] White-eyed Vireo Arap Cty Continues

[Steve Stachowiak]

Cobirders,

The vireo is currently along the creek that flows through the park. The most 
expeditious way to see the bird is to park at the Littleton ice rink. Cross the 
footbridge to the park and take an immediate left along the highlight canal 
trail heading north. Proceed approximately 1K to where there is an orange fence 
along the trail. Make a 90° turn down the hill to the creek and that is where 
the bird was a few minutes ago. It is singing sporadically.

Good birding,
Steve Stachowiak

[cobirds] Alder Flycatcher - Loveland, Larimer Co

[David Wade]

Greetings Birders,

I am sheepishly reporting that I saw and heard an Alder Flycatcher at the 
Morrey Wildlife Reserve in Loveland today. Sheepishly because I didn't 
realize I was looking at one when it happened. I spotted a flycatcher with 
a white throat, moderate primary projection and the general shape, size, 
and color of a Trails Flycatcher. Because Willow is the expected one here 
in N Colorado, that's what I thought it was. Then, as I was looking at it 
thru the bino's it belted out a little chippy brri sound. I thought it 
sounded like a miniature Robin. Despite seeing it not give the wit call of 
a Willow, that's what I thought it was and moved on in my merry birding 
way. It wasn't until I saw a Dusky Flycatcher and it reminded me that 
Willow gives a wit call and not the brri that I heard. I quickly returned 
to where I saw it but couldn't relocate it. I checked xenocanto when I got 
home and confirmed the Alder's call there. It was in the understory of a 
group of large cottonwoods directly west of the putting green  of the 
nearby golf course. 

In Fort Collins, I saw a Bobolink at Reservoir Ridge Natural Area today 
too. This marks the third year in a row that I have seen them there.
