[cobirds] Bobolinks

[Bob Fiehweg]

Missed the golden-winged warbler along S. Boulder Creek, but checked the wet 
meadows around the Parks and Open Space HQs along Cherry Vale and spotted a 
male bobolink on the east side of Cherry Vale opposite the HQ entrance at 3:50 
p.m.  Besides this first of the year, there was a roosting nighthawk in the 
area where the warbler should have been.

[cobirds] Continuing Golden-crowned Warbler

[Robert Raker]

The Golden-crowned Warbler continued to entertain folks today well into the 
afternoon. Seems to be pretty happy with the location. Here are a few 
pictures of this lovely bird. Thanks to Glenn Walbek for the incredible 
find!

[cobirds] Chico Basin Ranch?

[Gary Brower]

El Paso County Birders,

There are a lot of birds at this site that I’d love to see, given eBird.

What’s the best way to approach the place? Time of day? Etc.

Thanks!

[cobirds] Use #CFOConvention for all convention social media

[Ted Floyd]

Hello, Birders.

No surprise: Tons of photos and other media are coming out of the CFO 
convention. When you post such media to social media, e.g., the CFO 
Facebook page, please use our convention hashtag, *#CFOConvention*, a great 
way to aggregate all convention content.

Thanks!

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 5/20/18

[Meredith . McBurney]

After 24+ hours of rain and drizzle, the birds were moving around this 
morning.  The skies were threatening when we arrived, so we opened slowly - 
a few nets at 6:30, finally got the last ones open by 10 when it was clear 
that the rain was done, at least for now.  Banded 24 new, plus caught 5 
more banded in prior years, plus 13 (mostly Yellow Warblers) that had 
already visited our nets this year.  Here's the breakdown of the new plus 
first-time returns:

Western Wood-pewee 3
Least Flycatcher 1 new, 1 banded in 2017
Dusky Flycatcher 1
House Wren 1
Swainson's Thrush 4
Gray Catbird 2 new, 1 banded 2012
Yellow Warbler 2 new, 3 banded in 2017
Common Yellowthroat 1
Wilson's Warbler 1
Green-tailed Towhee 1
Song Sparrow 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 4
Lesser Goldfinch 2, 1 green-backed, 1 black-backed

Come visit! Station is open daily, weather permitting, through the end of 
May, except for Memorial Day. We open nets about 6:30 and close around 
noon. If you would like to visit on a weekend, you must pre-register - go 
to the Audubon Society of Greater Denver website. Perhaps the best time for 
birders to visit is early in the morning during the week - fewer people and 
more birds! (School groups arrive each day between 10:00 and 10:30.)

[cobirds] Bent County, 5/20/18

[Duane Nelson]

Birders,

I'm going to give an abridged version of what I saw today in Bent County.

Thanks to the efforts of many people, a small closure was finally 
constructed to protect the one Piping Plover nest I know about this 
year. Without public pressure, I believe this nest would have failed, as 
fishermen were at the edges of the closure both yesterday and today.


Rapidly dropping water levels (due to irrigation releases) have exposed 
a new island just west of Plover Island on the north shore of John 
Martin Reservoir in the past few days. The name of the island is Gravel 
Island, and it is just west of the vegetated island marked by a string 
of large boulders on the mainland just north of the island. This is west 
of the cattle guard marking the west end of John Martin State Park. On 
Gravel Island today, there was a Caspian Tern, Piping Plover and 
Black-bellied Plover. This island is certain to host island-loving birds 
for the foreseeable future.


At Adobe Creek Reservoir (Blue Lake) there is a tiny islet just offshore 
on the east side of the lake where Bent County Road 10 heads east and 
becomes County Line Road. This islet was covered with birds today. Among 
Ring-billed and Franklin's Gulls, Forster's and Black Terns was a single 
Least Tern. The dominant shorebird was Sanderling. I did a fair amount 
of walking, and crossed the peninsula on the east side of the lake about 
1/2 mile south of the island. I observed multiple White-rumped 
Sandpipers and a Stilt Sandpiper. Venturing south, then west, to the 
dam, I drove as far as I could onto the dredge peninsula jutting north 
into the lake. At the north point, I observed 4 Red-necked Phalaropes 
with the more common Wilson's Phalaropes.


The cast of birds will change day to day, but these are places well 
worth checking if you are in the area.


Sincerely,

Duane Nelson

Las Animas, CO

Re: [cobirds] First Creek - Both Adams and Denver - Vermilion Flycatcher

[Scott Somershoe]

I took my CFO trip group to chase the vermilion flycatcher after birding out 
Barr Lake. I spotted the vermilion north of the usual pond it's been 
frequenting. He's perching on mullein and moving constantly around the prairie 
dog town. Managed to get the whole group on it.

If you take the dirt trail from the parking lot heading SW and stay on the dirt

There is a Tennessee Warbler as well.
