Re: [cobirds] Colorado county lines

[Eric DeFonso]

Apropos of nothing, I just wanted to add that I use the mob-rule website to
track all the US counties I've ever been in. Why? Because it's fun, and I
try to compete with my brother on it. I'm hopelessly far behind him in
total numbers, but I at least have a couple states for which I've been in
every county, whereas he has none. At any rate it's fun to see a county
breakdown of where you've been - it's very illustrative of your national
travel patterns and emphasis.

This is real "county listing" :)

Have fun,

[cobirds] Trumpeter Swan Continues @ Chatfield Lake 5 (Arapahoe County)

[Gregg Goodrich]

I also went to Joe's excellent new perch. The swan is still there today. Just a 
small amount of the lake is not frozen.What a wonderful view of the valley 
below. I did get some idable digiscope photos in the list below. Also had a 
distant juvenile dark morph Red-tailed Hawk with some poor digiscope photos 
below.

Thanks Joe for a very cool spot!

[cobirds] Love Doves, Douglas County

[Tom Wilberding]

Yesterday, on the 13th day of Christmas, Barb pointed out to me no French 
hens, no partridge in a tree, but she did point out seven “turtle doves” on 
the roof of a house at 10766 N Sunshine Dr, Littleton, south of Chatfield 
State Park. My guess is that they were released at a wedding or funeral, 
went AWOL, and are now sticking together, ready to breed and populate 
Colorado and beyond. Collared-doves, watch out.


What were we doing there? Temporarily lost while looking for another 
all-white bird, Joe Roller’s recent Trumpeter Swan, which we managed to 
find later, after correcting our errors. Thank you, Joe.

BTW, if you want to own your own Love Doves, here is a place that sells 
them very young, called “squeakers.”

Hi Tom,

MOB Rule, eh? That’s interesting. Was it a mob that carved out Broomfield 
County? I checked out your gmap, and I still don’t understand it!

[cobirds] Rusty Blackbirds, Weld

[Peter Gent]

All,

I arrived at the location where Weld CR 4 goes over Box Elder Creek, just
east of Weld CR 49, at 8:30 this morning.  Edie Israel arrived soon after,
but we only saw a Song Sparrow for the next 30+ minutes.  However, right
after John Vanderpoel arrived, the 3 male Rusty Blackbirds flew in from the
west.  They were very cooperative for a few minutes, being low to the
ground on the north side of the road. They flew away to the northeast after
about 10 minutes at 9:15.  A very nice adult Rough-legged Hawk was along CR
49 about 1.5 miles north between CRs 6 and 8.

Cheers,  Peter Gent.
Boulder, CO.

[cobirds] Night at the Denver Museum...

[maikel . wise]

It was a dark and cold night.  We walked through shadows of the past and 
entered an unmarked elevator into the dungeons of the museum.  Our class 
entered a room filled with bird specimens.  We saw, in great detail, birds 
long gone such as the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, Passenger Pigeon and 
Carolina Parakeet.  Giant eggs of the extinct Elephant Bird from Madagascar 
were there and we tried to imagine a bird nearly 10 feet high.  A reminder 
of how delicate our natural world is.

 

The Audubon Society of Greater Denver is offering the Master Birder Program 
again starting August 2017.

 

Details at:
