[cobirds] Ken Caryl Valley Thanksgiving

[David Suddjian]

I'm thankful for an interesting raptor assemblage around my Ken Caryl
Valley home this afternoon, focused on a celebration of dark brown: a dark
morph juv. Rough-legged Hawk, a gorgeous dark morph Red-tailed Hawk, an
adult Golden Eagle and an adult Bald Eagle. Then there was the high-pitched
assemblage of Golden-crowned Kinglet (2nd or 3rd in my yard in 3 years),
Cedar Waxwing, Brown Creeper and Bushtits. The Harris's Sparrow continues
in my yard, and another Harris's was near the Ken Caryl Equestrian Center.

[Steve Stachowiak]

For the record, in 2012 Thanksgiving day was designated as Happy Brambling 
Day, so the committee is going to have to overturn Mr. Kellner's Bunting 
Day designation

Good Birding,

I do not think that the Chestnut-sided Warbler that Loch reported below has

[cobirds] Barrow's Goldeneyes on Summit and Grand County waters

[Charles Hundertmark]

Yesterday, five observers on a Denver Field Ornithologists field trip (Paul 
Slingsby, leader) visited the Silverthorne Water Treatment ponds and four Grand 
County lakes as part of the annual Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Barrow’s 
Goldeneye count. Barrow’s were found on four of the five bodies of water in 
nice numbers.

At Silverthorne, as reported yesterday, the goldeneyes were not on the front 
pond of the treatment plant. From behind the treatment plant, they were visible 
on a private lake north of the treatment plant property. There was nice plumage 
variation among the 20 birds seen. Along with 10 adult males and 8 adult 
females, there was one male in eclipse or partial eclipse plumage and one 
juvenal plumage bird.

A stop at Glory Hole Cafe in Hot Sulphur Springs produced no rosy-finches.

Windy Gap Reservoir had 10 Barrow’s Goldeneyes, including 5 adult males and 5 
birds that appeared to be juveniles/immatures, but may have been females. The 
light angle was unfavorable; the bills appeared dark but may have had some 
yellow.

On Grand Lake, we had 10 Common Goldeneyes, but no Barrow’s.

Shadow Mountain Res had at least 12 Barrow’s, 8 males, 3 females and one 
juvenile/immature. There were at least 12 Common Goldeneyes as well. The birds 
were widespread across the lake making distant birds difficult to count. Among 
the Canada Geese, there were two possible hybrids or partial albinos. The birds 
were the size of the Canadas with most plumage like the Canada Geese. 
Exceptions were the necks and heads. On one of the birds, the neck and head 
were extensively white with traces of black or gray. On the second, the neck 
was more predominantly black or gray with some white, while the head was 
predominantly white with some black or gray. 

Lake Granby yielded the motherload. There was a large raft of Barrow’s 
Goldeneyes with a few scattered stragglers. We counted 25 males and 24 females, 
though there may have been more. The birds in the raft were frequently diving 
almost in unison. 

With clear skies and no wind, it was our best goldeneye count in many years on 
this route.
