re: *** SPAM 10: [cobirds] Mountain Chickadees - Jeffco (Wads and Bowles)

[Karl Stecher Jr.]

I moved to Aurora this summer, and have three black-caps now.
 But last winter at roughly Colorado Blvd and Orchard, I had two mountains 
on and off during the winter into early spring.

 Given all the rarities being posted, I hesitated with mountain chickadees, 
but it's been a really long time since we had them at our feeders (at least 
five years), so I thought I'd go ahead.  We have at least two of them this 
morning, and we live about half a mile south of Clement park in Littleton.

[cobirds] Mountain Chickadees - Jeffco (Wads and Bowles)

[Jennifer H]

I live at S Kipling and C-470 and have had 3 pair of MOCH everyday since 
October. Very cool because I've never had them in the 4 winters I've lived in 
this location :)

[cobirds] Black Phoebe relocated, Adams County

[Marcia Canter]

Hi CoBirders
I was able to relocate the Black Phoebe today at about 9:55 at the sewage 
treatment plant along the S. Platte in Adams County. It was just at the 
bridge that crosses the Platte there. I had good views as it was 
flycatching and returning to the same location. Black with white belly that 
forms a peak towards chest. Head feathers are somewhat raised in back.

[Greg Pasquariello]

I'm a bit south and east, at Santa fe and Highlands Ranch Parkway.  They
are at my feeders too, although they've been here for quite some time (late
August). They arrived the same time as the red breasted nuthatches.

[cobirds] San Luis Valley Cranes and Oddities

[mvjohnski]

Wow what birds on the east slope. Great opportunities for sure. 
In the San Luis Valley, we had a brown Christmas, warm with 50 degree 
temps. It is no wonder that yesterday, as I was ice skating with my 
daughter, that 8 Sandhill Cranes flew overhead. Not totally unexpected but 
unusual for sure. In addition, the Monte Vista Christmas Count found 25 
Brown-headed Cowbirds for a first winter record for this area. Poor skiing 
but the ice skating is great this year! Happy new year from the San Luis 
valley!
