[cobirds] Re: Piping & Semipalmated Plover, Douglas County
Both birds are still on the eastern end of the plum creek delta this evening. I was there close to an hour and they primarily stayed in the area where the American White Pelicans were staying. They flew together several times but stayed in the general eastern side of the delta. It is very muddy if you go along the shore. Not sure how you would get there through the trees. My eBird list said 0.67 miles from the nearest parking space. Thanks Joey for posting this very good rare bird for Chatfield. They were both still there at 5:30 PM today 8/24/19.

[cobirds] News about the Pueblo rehabbed Chimney Swifts
COBirders- Several days ago I posted a request from Nancy Kelley, a wildlife rehabber in Pueblo, who needed help with finding a colony of Chimney Swifts so she could release some fledglings. Mark Yaeger (artist/illustrator of the Colorado Breeding Bird Atlas II) suggested she continue to watch for an opportunity here. This last Wednesday she sent Mark the following email: "Thank you so much for your help! [. . .] The sky above the court house was literally filled with chimney swifts this evening! My little ones joined the crowd! I never get tired of watching them! Leon Bright - Pueblo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

Re: [cobirds] Possible Old Pileated Woodpecker Tree in CO?
Agreed with the other borders; Joe, PIWO holes are often very rectangular and it seems doubtful that they make it here. I am in California right now and seeing them, and grew up with them in New England, and it would be great to have them in CO but, alas, they are pretty far and don’t seem to migrate much.

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Opening Day at Barr Station, 8/24/19
We had a very nice, if somewhat warm, opening morning at Barr. We started opening nets at 6:40, and within 10 minutes had our first birds (a Western Wood-pewee and a Northern Waterthrush, side by side in the net) and our first visitors (a mom with her two young daughters from Thornton). LOTS of Yellow Warblers, probably all Barr Lake breeders, looking very spiffy with their new feathers. And 4 NOWAs, which is pretty much our quota for the season. A total of 66 birds banded: Western Wood-pewee 2 Black-capped Chickadee 5 House Wren 6 Yellow Warbler 35 Northern Waterthrush 4 Wilson's Warbler 9 Brewer's Sparrow 1 Song Sparrow 4 We will be open 6 days per week, Tuesday-Sunday, weather permitting, through October 13. We are opening nets at 6:40 and should have birds back at the station by 7:20. We will close nets most days at 11:40, with some being closed earlier as long as this heat continues. 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!

Re: [cobirds] Possible Old Pileated Woodpecker Tree in CO?
Both Hairy and American Three-toed Woodpeckers often excavate circular patches of bark the size of a 50-cent piece or even bigger at the base of dead conifers in the act of extracting larvae of large wood-boring beetles and also nests of carpenter ants. I would say this much more likely than an alpine Pileated Woodpecker in CO.

Re: [cobirds] Pileated link
Agree. And wood often splits vertical from pil's holes. Have seen many growing up in Maryland (near DC) and camping and scout counselor in Appalachians in Virginia. Even had them in my back yard growing up there. Once at camp I was chopping wood and a pil came down to see what was going on.
