[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Barr Lake Station, 10/14/16

[meredith . mcburney]

This is shaping up to be the biggest last week of fall banding that I can 
remember.  Cloud cover kept things cool, allowing us to band a little later 
today, and we got a couple of noon-time flocks of mostly Yellow-rumpeds. 
Total of 64 new birds today:

Ruby-crowned Kinglet 7
Hermit Thrush 3
Orange-crowned Warbler 6
Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 26
Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle 3
Song Sparrow 3
White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 2
Dark-eyed Junco, Slate-colored 1
Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 2
Dark-eyed Junco, Pink-sided 7
American Goldfinch 4

Two more days!  We will take the station down at the end of banding on 
Sunday.

[Greg Pasquariello]

As I arrived today, I saw a flock of gulls in panicked flight.   Sure
enough, the jaeger was chasing them.  As I watched from the parking lot,
the jaeger flew right over the heads of the birders that were out on the
sand bar.   What a look they must have gotten!  By the time I got down
there, the bird was a mile away on the water, but it sure is a good looking
bird!

​Birders,
I had a Cordilleran Flycatcher in my yard a little while ago.  Seems to me

[Dale Adams]

We spent about three hours watching the jaegar this morning.  It spent the 
whole time loafing in the middle of the reservior (distant from either the 
Jefferson or Douglas County sides) except for two short flights, both of which 
we managed to miss.

Good luck

[cobirds] Birding location requests from out of state

[Leon Bright]

COBirders,

  About a week ago Arkansas Valley Audubon received a request from a Maine
birder for information similar to the one posted on COBirds yesterday.  We
directed him to CFO's http://coloradocountybirding.org/, suggesting to him
that it has detailed answers to his questions.  I believe the County Birding
website is a great resource that can be used to answer the great majority
such requests from out of state.
