[cobirds] owl s=carrying owlets

[Jill Boice]

Hi all,

I posted this yesterday about an owl,  but as OWL-Douglas county.  
However, it s really a questions about owl behavior.


Jill Boice

  I saw something very unusual Wednesday  night.   My daughter, Run, 
volunteers at a ranch near Castlerock.  She does evening chores.  At 
dusk, we were near the chicken coop and saw a large Great Horned Owl 
sitting in a spindly pine, very close by.  Under the adult was what 
looked like one or two owlets.  I was wondering how that owlet got over 
to the little tree that clearly did not have a nest in it.  Suddenly the 
adult (she, presumably) spooked and rose up, with her large owlet 
grasped in her talons and carried it to a tree maybe 30 feet away.  It 
deposited the youngster in there somewhere.  A short time later she flew 
further away, to the top of another tree and began hooting.


I have never seen a bird carry its young like that.  Sort of like a mama 
cat might do.  I don't think I have even read about owls doing this.  
Anybody else familiar with this?


Sadly, of course, I did not have my camera on hand.

Interested in others comments

Jill

[cobirds] Yard Arrivals - Centennial (Arapahoe)

[Jared Del Rosso]

Upon returning from work this afternoon, I was greeted by a collection of 
small, brown birds. Inspecting them, I found two White-crowned Sparrows, a 
Vesper, a continuing Lincoln's Sparrow, and, behind them all, a Hermit 
Thrush. The White-crowned and Vesper and thrush seem to have shown up in 
the past 24 hours, as they weren't there yesterday. The Vesper was a new 
yard bird for me. 

Soon after, a Great Blue Heron flew low over my yard. My chihuahua-terrier, 
who's usually blissfully unaware of birds, couldn't help but chase after 
and growl at the apparent monster above us.

[cobirds] THIS FIELD TRIP MOVED TO SUNDAY, APRIL 22!! Migration field trip with Luke Pheneger

[Pam Piombino]

DUE TO THE SNOWY/RAINY WEATHER FORECAST FOR TOMORROW MORNING, LUKE ASKS
THAT YOU MEET SAME TIME/PLACE BUT ON SUNDAY RATHER THAN SATURDAY

This outing is brought to you by Boulder County Audubon:

Shorebird Migration at Walden-Sawhill Ponds and So Much More!

Saturday, April 21, 2018, 7 a.m.-10ish

Free, no limit

Leader, Luke Pheneger, a stellar Teen Naturalist

This is the prime window for shorebird fallout at the ponds and marshes of
this lovely wildlife area. This is the period in which you are most likely
to find Marbled Godwits, Short and Long-billed Dowitchers, Long-billed
Curlews, Whimbrels, Phalaropes, Sandpipers, Ploves, Ibis, Avocets and
Black-necked Stilts.  These birds stop to refuel before winging their way
to the plains and arctic tundra to breed.  The ponds should also feature
Cinnamon and Blue-winged Teals as well as a host of other ducks.

As a bonus, it is also the peak of migration for Broad-winged Hawks.  Early
warblers that should be present include Orange-crowned, Yellow-rumped and
almost anything else.  Bitterns and Rails are moving in too!

Meet at the Cottonwood Marsh parking lot off of 75th Street.  Bring the
usual gear, good walking shoes, hats, water, snacks, scopes and binoculars.

Observation start time: 08:00:00 
Observation end   time: 09:45:00 
Total observation time: 1.75 hours

Official Counter:Debbie James

Observers:Frank Coons, Jane Haddock

Visitors:
Jane Haddock and Frank Coons arrived about 9:30 MDT and despite immanent
rain, said they wanted to go on up to the station.  There were a remarkable
number of migrators that we were able to count before rain/snow drove us
off.  Jane and Frank were a great help.  There were several hikers and
bikers on the trail, one biker, from Minnisota, stopped to ask about a bald
eagle nesting in a tree that toppled over where he lives.  He added that
they've had a very cold winter and that ice melt is not expected for quite
some time.  


Weather:
Weather report had fluxuating start times for rain. I went an hour early
hoping to get more time in, but then rain was supposed to start at 9:30 MDT
so didn't think I had time to hike up the mnt. but conducted count from
parking lot.  Turns out it rain didn't begin until 9:45.  The sky quickly
became 100% overcast, which made seeing identifying marks on birds very
difficult--they appeared all dark underneath.  Humidity high--46%, cold
wind but only about 10 mph until rain/snow began.

Raptor Observations:
Locals observed were 3 Red Tail Hawks--two appearing to be in courtship; 4
Turkey Vultures; and one buteo in severe molt--missing some primaries and
several tail feathers--big gap in tail.  Overcast skies made this bird
appear completely dark and we were unable to identify species.
The earlier migrators I saw flew low over Ridge, north to the end and then
would circle to gain altitude before heading out of sight.  Migrators over
West Ridge were very high, except for Ferruginous Hawk that was low enough
to see light underbelly and appreciate its size.  

Non-raptor Observations:
Other birds seen or heard: 2 Western Meadowlark; 4 House Finch; 1
Black-billed Magpie; 2 Common Crow; 2 Raven--one carrying something large
and round in its beak; 1 American Robin.  

Predictions:
Unfortunately weather shows rain and snow showers for tomorrow morning.

http://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=123

Site Description:
Dinosaur Ridge is the only regularly staffed hawkwatch in Colorado and is
the best place in the world to see migrating Ferruginous Hawks. Dinosaur
Ridge may be the best place in the country to see the rare dark morph of
the Broad-winged Hawk (a few are seen each spring). Hawkwatchers who linger
long enough may see resident Golden Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks and Prairie
Falcons, in addition to migrating Swainson's, Cooper's and Sharp-shinned
Hawks, American Kestrels and Turkey Vultures. Peregrine Falcons and
Ferruginous Hawks are uncommon; Northern Goshawk is rare but regular.

Re: [cobirds] Lucy's Warbler

[Diana Beatty]

Hi all,
No photos, but I believe I refound the Lucy's at Sinton today before the
weather came in, fyi.  I also saw my FOS Orange-Crowned Warbler and FOS
Chipping Sparrows there and some nice Western Bluebirds there.  Lots of
beautiful Yellow-rumped Warblers about including Audubon's Myrtles and a
few that I think were hybrids.

[cobirds] Fort Collins Miscellany on Friday, April 20.

[DAVID A LEATHERMAN]

Things seemed kind of stirred up today, as we went from partly sunny to light 
rain between 10am and 1pm.  I guess everything has a right to be shaken up 
after the recent winds.


In my apartment complex courtyard about a mile east of the CSU campus were:

Lincoln's Sparrow (been present for about a week, not normal for this property)

Song Sparrow (yard bird #126), I have lived here 21 years.

Red Crossbill (few that sounded like Type 2s were briefly in the cones of a 
tall spruce)


Sheldon Lake at City Park had a female Hooded Merganser at noon sleeping with 
two Mallards on the southside log.  Not normal for this location.


At Grandview Cemetery:

Two gray-headed Dark-eyed Juncos (not normal, obviously birds on the move from 
somewhere to the mountains).  Also saw two pink-sided, which is the most common 
overwintering type and which seemingly had all cleared out for points north 
(that is, until these two appeared today).

Red-tailed Hawk and Great Horned Owl continue on their respective nests.

Black-capped Chickadees cleaning out a second cavity in the same American Elm 
where they were cleaning out a different one a few days ago.

Small flock of five Mountain Chickadees was new, again, birds on the move to 
the mountains, presumably.

Small flock of four Mourning Doves flew over, FOY for Grandview Cemetery.

Still no female Broad-tailed Hummingbirds.

[cobirds] Chestnut-collared Longspurs, Weld County

[marimammoser]

I had a couple of hours to spare so I went to the western edge of the 
Pawnee Grasslands to look for Longspurs. 
I found 8-10 Chestnut-collared Longspurs along Weld County Road 114 between 
county roads 45 and 47 with 
at least 5 of these being males. I had the pleasant experience of watching 
a male on the ground at about 35
feet. I then found a small group of 3-4 Chestnut-collared Longspurs along 
Weld County Road 49 about 1/2 mile 
south of County Road 114. Three of these were also males and I watched 
another male on the ground at about 
70 feet.

I did not find McCown's Longspur, but again I only had a couple of hours. I 
encountered numerous flocks of 
Vesper Sparrows along the route totaling about 50 birds.

Re: [cobirds] Hanover Fire update

[Brandon]

A couple updates from Bill Maynard.  The Hanover Woodlot was saved!!  So,
the pair of Ladder-backed Woodpeckers that are breeding there, should be
okay.  The Chico Birder Brunch is ON for tomorrow still.

Re: [cobirds] Hanover Fire update

Since a home was lost on DeGroot road, I fear for the Burrowing Owls at
DeGroot and Hanover.

If anyone can report on that area, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

CO Birders :

   Looked out of my window this morning and found a Great Egret in the south 
west retention pond of Rampart Park ( easiest access of Mirage Drive ) , didn,t 
stay long headed north . Also 5 White-faced Ibis overflew , reasonable chance 
that both these birds are at Kettle Lakes.

[cobirds] Hanover Fire update

[Brandon]

As of last night the Hanover Fire in El Paso/Pueblo Counties is 100%
contained and all evacuation areas are open.  So, Hanover Road should now
be open, so people can get to Chico Basin Ranch again.  The Ranch lost some
pasture and animals it sounds like, in eastern part of the Ranch.  All the
usual birding locations didn't burn at all, it appears!  We assume the
woodlot on Hanover Road, which was an ebird hotspot, likely burned down,
though when someone goes along Hanover Road soon, then we'll know for sure.
