[cobirds] Sabines Today

[mvjohnski]

John Stump and I birded Smith Reservoir today (Costilla County) and 
re-found the juvenile Sabine's Gull. It was way across the lake on the NE 
lake shore. Baird's and Semi-palmated Sandpipers were still on the west 
side shoreline. 

At San Luis Lake( Alamosa County), we did not re-find the Lesser 
Black-backed Gull. We did find 5 Black-bellied Plovers, 1 Semi-palmated 
Plover, 5 Sanderlings and about 20 Baird's Sandpipers.

[cobirds] Pectoral Sandpipers, Timnath Reservoir

[marimammoser]

This morning there were four Pectoral Sandpipers at Timnath Reservoir. They 
were spread out in the wet areas and standing water on the north side (away 
from the lake shore). There were also about 5-6 smaller peeps seen flying 
with a group of Killdeer. The very small size suggests possibly Least 
Sandpipers, but they didn't land so I couldn't get a definitive ID.

On the reservoir itself were the usual groups of white-checked geese, Am. 
White pelicans, Western Grebes, a few gulls and ducks.

[cobirds] Prothonotary Warbler, Pectoral Sandpiper and other Boulder migrants

[Peter Burke]

The Pleasant View Marsh area remains a very active warbler spot with
hundreds of Yellow-rumped  and good numbers of
Wilson's and Orange-crowned . And I was
"pleasantly" surprised to see that the Prothonotary Warbler
 was still among them. Other birds in the marsh
included Red-eyed and Warbling Vireos, Ruby-crowned Kinglets and a
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher.

At Cottonwood Marsh, Walden Ponds, the number of Wilson's Snipe
 appears to be dwindling. The Pectoral Sandpiper
 continues and was joined by a Lesser Yellowlegs
and there are now two Greater Yellowlegs.

Good birding,
Peter

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Barr Lake Station, 9/26/18

[colin . woolley]

Today Meredith gets a break from composing the daily summary as we had an 
eventful morning at Barr Lake. We hosted a program with Garth Spellman of 
Denver Museum of Nature and Science, in which our banding station was 
streamed live into classrooms around the country and students were able to 
ask questions of Meredith and Garth as we banded birds. We had a fairly 
steady stream of birds throughout the day, ending with 50 newly banded 
birds of 10 species:

Gray Catbird 1
House Wren 2
Hermit Thrush 3
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 2
Orange-crowned Warbler 6
Yellow-rumped "Audubon's" Warbler 15
Wilson's Wabler 9
Song Sparrow 3
"Gambel's" White-crowned Sparrow 8
Chipping Sparrow 1

We are open 6 days per week, Tuesday-Sunday, weather permitting, through 
October 14. We are opening nets at 6:40 and should have birds back at the 
station by 7:20. We will close most days by about 11:40. School groups 
arrive most weekdays at about 9:30. The best time to visit (fewest people, 
most birds) is before 9:30 weekdays and Sundays. 
 
Come visit!
