[cobirds] Morning Doves Galore

[Tina Jones]

This is not about a Snowy Owl or a Harris's Hawk, but it is about Morning 
Doves. I know the number of Doves I have had in my yard is no big deal if one 
is living in Southern Colorado, but I have had more Morning Doves than usual in 
my yard this winter. They arrived in pairs before 11/15. On 11/15, I had, 27 
individuals [the MOST I have ever had for this date]. From 11/16  through most 
of December, there were anywhere from 16-28 Morning Doves in my backyard. Just 
as I thought this was already getting out of control, on DECEMBER 18, 37, 
MORNING Doves were in my yard [an all time high ever]. Yikes!


The possible cause? I have not seen the usual Cooper's Hawk in the yard, hardly 
at all, maybe 2-3 times in the last 3 months. Today I found scattered Morning 
Dove feathers on the ground for the first time in ages. Maybe I will not see 
the high  numbers of Doves in my yard.


I always look for White-winged Dove but no luck yet.


Happy Birding!

[cobirds] Pueblo birds 1/6 (White-winged Crossbill, Prairie Warbler, and more)

[Brandon]

My plan was to bird with my uncle Van Truan, for a little while at Pueblo
Reservoir, we saw adult *Mew Gull* in the pool below the dam around 8am,
then went to South Shore Marina at Pueblo Reservoir.  Lots of birds from
here, including: *Great Black-backed*, and *Lesser Black-backed Gulls* on
the tires, and a *White-winged Scoter*, a *Pacific Loon*, and a *Red-necked
Grebe* on the water.  Just before 10am, we saw the continuing *Prairie
Warbler*, near the parking lot, just below Pueblo Reservoir dam, then we
heard from David Tonnessen about a male *White-winged Crossbill* at
Mountain View Cemetery (between Alcero and Beulah, off Northern Ave.) in
Pueblo.  We went there, and saw it with him and others and I stayed in the
Cemetery helping groups of birders throughout the day, until after 4pm (I
enjoy helping people see birds, they want to see, when I can, and today was
a lot of FUN).  My plan of a little morning birding, turned out to be a
very fun day, at a cemetery I never go to.  *This White-winged Crossbill is
a first for Pueblo County*, and it was seen by nearly 30 people.  Hopefully
the crossbill will hang around for the expected crowds tomorrow (I can
spend some time there tomorrow morning, to help people, starting at 8am).

There were lots of interesting birds seen today in Pueblo, besides the ones
I saw.

Thanks to David for letting me know about the Crossbill, and birding places
that others don't go to.  Never know, what you might find if you go to
different places (I guess I need to go to different places once in while)!

[cobirds] John Martin Reservoir, Bent County

[Duane Nelson]

Birders,

I made a short visit to John Martin Reservoir today, my first since the 
CBC on December 14th. I can report that unlike in December, the 
reservoir is packed with an amazing number and diversity of birds. 
Viewing conditions have iproved greatly now that the reservoir is about 
80 percent frozen, concentrating birds and drawing in many Bald Eagles 
and gulls.


I believe there are more than 100,000 white geese present now, and that 
will probably mean there are thousands of Ross' Geese present. Common 
Mergansers, missed on the CBC for the first time in December, now number 
in the thousands. Common Goldeneyes are now "common".


There are hundreds of large gulls now present, and today among them I 
picked out an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull and first cycle Glaucous 
Gull. I am sure more species are present.


Most surprising was the appearance of three American White Pelicans and 
two Double-crested Cormorants, missed on the CBC. The best viewpoint is 
Overlook Point on the north side of the Reservoir.


Sincerely,

Duane Nelson

Las Animas, Bent County CO

[cobirds] Re: White-winged Crossbill Pueblo County

[Brandon]

Nearly 30 people have seen this bird.  It likes the spruce comes in the
middle of the cemetery.  Hope it is present tomorrow, I think it should be.
Great find David.  Sometimes feeding near Red-breasted Nuthatches.  The
call it gives the most is similar to a Red-breasted Nuthatch.

I guess if anyone is birding the Platte in Littleton, keep an eye out.  It 
doesn’t seem inconceivable that this hawk would move south!

Re: [cobirds] Anyone seen the Harris's hawk lately?

[Patrick O'Driscoll]

Mark Obmascik and I went in search of the bird on Friday morning 1/5 at its
previous location, the area in and around the Colorado Welcome Center in
Larimer Co.
We struck out.
A local whom we encountered in the parking lot said he believed the bird
had moved on. We can't argue differently, and I haven't seen a report of
sighting it around there in a while.

[cobirds] Anyone seen the Harris's hawk lately?

[modise]

All - while bicycling past Carson Nature Center in Littleton today at 10:45 
a.m., I saw a very red and brown hawk land in a cottonwood on the west side 
of the Platte River.  I saw a very strong, horizontal white tail-bar when 
it flared, and I immediately thought "Harris's hawk".  Of course, it was 
probably a rough-legged hawk, but you never know, so I thought I would 
ask.  I didn't have my bins to look closer.

[cobirds] El Paso county Red breasted sapsucker and varied thrush both present his morning as of about 11 am

[kickback]

The varied thrush was  near the parking lot for the Starsmore center and 
moving around a fair amount. The sapsucker was in its favorite tree. I was 
lucky enough to get a good picture of the thrush, really a good looking 
bird.

Re: [cobirds] Re: YB Loon still at S Platt Res , Arapahoe

[Eric DeFonso]

Hi all - I'm planning on heading down to the reservoir this afternoon after
I get off work. I've never been there, but looking at google maps etc. it
looks large and not easily accessible. Also, there isn't any info on
viewing spots for this reservoir on the Colorado County Birding website.
Where generally are people viewing the loon from?

[cobirds] White-winged Crossbill Pueblo County

[David Tønnessen]

Hi all,

I found a White-winged Crossbill in Mountain View Cemetery, Pueblo today, 
apparently a first for the county. The western part of this cemetery is quite 
literally a forest of large spruce trees with a bounty of cones, so the bird 
could potentially stay for a while. 7+ birders have already observed the bird 
well since I sent word.


Good birding,
David Tonnessen

[Ben S]

Got great views of him on the south-central part of the res around 8 AM! In 
other news, I got a female Barrow's Goldeneye along the platte river, and 
20 Greater Scaups, as well as a *potential Krider's Red-tailed Hawk* on a 
power pole near Ladybug Lake. I didn't get any pictures, but I would 
encourage any of you chasing the Yellow-billed Loon to check out the 
possible Krider's as well!

[cobirds] Teller country Rosy Finches follow-up

[Kevin Ash]

Today, I headed back to the same spot I found the Rosy Finches on Wednesday
- this time with my camera.  I was hoping for an easy find, given that I
found them on what appeared to be a feeding station in someone's yard that
they seemed to like.  No such luck.  I drove all of CR 861 and 5 miles, out
and back of CR 86 and could not relocate them.  I also drove some of the
mining roads and some of Gold Camp Road but only came home with a few Raven
sightings.

I was up there a couple hours earlier today, FWIW.  NB: I sent my email on
Wednesday afternoon shortly after spotting the finches, but it apparently
did not get approved until yesterday.

[cobirds] Re: YELLOW-BILLED LOON - South Platte Park Reservoir - Arapahoe County

[myrongerhard]

Joey (and others): could you check out my 
post http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S41661902 and see if you think 
this is the same bird? I was there after 4:00 today and concluded it was 
Common (mainly because how rare a Yellow-billed would be), but one of my 
photos especially suggests Yellow-billed. I will correct my post if you 
direct so - I don't know who my reviewer is. I hate to have it wrong out 
there...

[cobirds] Fremont, Pueblo Counties 1-5

['Dan Stringer' via Colorado Birds]

Yesterday I did my first Southern circle of the year, 
In Fremont County I had Pinyon Jays on the road east of Brush Hollow 
Reservoir, and had a breakfast burrito at Coyote's Coffee Den in Penrose.
In Canon City highlights were Rufous-crowned Sparrow at Tunnel Drive, and 
Western Screech-Owl on the Riverwalk. No Sapsuckers in three locations I 
checked. I went over to Valco Ponds east side to scope the beautiful 
Eurasian Wigeon (new fence, gate, sign, and they mean it. It's ok to park 
just off the road). Some Canvasbacks, Cacklers, and a single Greater 
White-fronted Goose were among the assortment on the ice. 

In Pueblo County at the reservoir there was the huge Greater Black-backed 
Gull, one Lesser Black-backed Gull, several Herring and Thayer's Gulls. I 
didn't see reported Mew Or Glaucous gulls. Interestingly weird bird 
behavior of the day went to a pair of Wilson's Snipes at the base of the 
spillway, walking just above the waterline, picking something off of the 
concrete. At one point they started crawling up the dam a foot or so, 
seemingly unacceptable behavior for a Snipe. On the way back through Pueblo 
I visited an area that Brandon Percival told me about a few years ago, to 
look for White-winged Dove. I've seen them every year since, and it was 
crazy...all up and down the surrounding streets were lots of Eurasian 
Collared-Doves, and in this one tree, five doves, all White-winged. 

I'd seen the Red-breasted Sapsucker in Colorado Springs (El Paso Co) last 
week, I went looking for it again just to study it vs. just mark it down 
among the birding paparazzi (which includes me). Stunningly beautiful bird, 
massive bill, but works quietly like the other Sapsuckers I've observed. It 
mostly accessed existing well holes. Lastly I went to look for the reported 
Varied Thrush without success, at 4 p.m. it was shady and cool, other than 
a Brown Creeper and some Chickadees the birds were not active.

First time I've been out full-on this year, really fun day.
