[cobirds] Timnath Reservoir shorebirds (including Dunlin), Larimer County

[Nicholas Komar]

The water level at Timnath Reservoir (southeast Larimer County) is as low as 
ever, mudflats are extensive, and shorebirding should be fabulous this weekend.

Shorebird species reported there on eBird in the last few days include:
American Avocet
Killdeer
Semipalmated Plover
Black-bellied Plover
Wilson’s Phalarope 
Lesser Yellowlegs
Spotted Sandpiper
Pectoral Sandpiper 
Bairds Sandpiper
Semipalmated Sandpiper 
Least Sandpiper
Dunlin (present at dusk today)
Stilt Sandpiper 
Long-billed Dowitcher 
Wilson’s Snipe

 The picnic area/boat ramp on the south side (entrance road off CR 40) is open 
to birders (thanks to an arrangement negotiated by Fort Collins Audubon 
Society.) However, the east mudflats are best approached from County Line Rd 
(aka Weld CR13) and from the Wild Wings neighborhood.

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Banding Report - Barr Lake, 10/4/19

[Meredith McBurney]

No wind, no drizzle, no heat, some sunshine - yay!  Caught 34 new birds in 
a pretty typical morning of all banding:

Red-eyed Vireo 1 (5th of season, most in any year)
House Wren 2
Hermit Thrush 1
Brown Thrasher 1
Orange-crowned Warbler 5
Wilson's Warbler 1
Chipping Sparrow 4
Song Sparrow 3
Lincoln's Sparrow 7
White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 6
White-crowned Sparrow, Mountain 2
Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 1

We are now opening nets at 7:40 and should have birds back at the station 
by 8:20. We are closing nets most days at 11:40. We are open 6 days per 
week, Tuesday-Sunday, through October 13. All of this is weather 
permitting! 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!

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Banding Report - Grand Valley Audubon Society, 10/4/19

[Vicki Morgan]

Today was a relatively uneventful day, with 12 new birds and 4 recaptures, 
bringing our total of birds banded to 177.  One of the birds that I banded 
on the very first day at GVAS, a Juniper Titmouse, showed up again - it's 
nice to see some resident birds sometimes!

Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 new 1 recapture
White-crowned Sparrow (Gambel's) 6 new 1 recapture
White-crowned Sparrow (Mountain) 4
Song Sparrow 1
Bewick's Wren 1 recapture
Juniper Titmouse 1 recapture

Hopefully next week's weather brings more birds!  We are open at Connected 
Lakes State Park M-F until October 11th.  We get birds starting at around 
7:45 and close nets around 11:30, depending on weather.  Feel free to stop 
by - the earlier you come, the more likely you are to see birds!  School 
groups tend to arrive between 9:30 to 10:00, so I also recommend that 
visitors come before then.

Re: [cobirds] Munia or Seed-Finch in Boulder

[Ernest]

Edith Israel on CFO said this may be an escapee from the aviary at 
ManorCare down the road (I didn't know they had one). They guy who cares 
for the birds there (Trevor) is supposed to call me tomorrow, hopefully 
he'll know if they have seed-finches (or munia), and if they had one 
escape recently. I should probably visit just to see what they have 
there, in case this happens again. 8^(



Hi all,

I took the liberty of sending the pics to Alvaro Jaramillo (much 
experience with seed-finches) and he says:


Impossible to know (species) without a male and out of range I would 
say. Most likely a Lesser/Chestnut-bellied, as these are common and 
widespread. They are also traded heavily in Argentina from what I 
recall, so are likely in the international market

This bird, which I’m now comfortable calling a Sporophila sp., is currently 
feeding in y’all imported grasses right along the creek south of the bike path 
east of 30th. Near where Campo meets the bike path. Viewable from the bike 
path, but better from the south side of the creek itself. 

Highly unusual. Not sure why anyone would keep one as a pet, but also hard to 
see it flying up from South America. Similar species in Mexico are a richer 
brown color, so I’m leaning Large-billed Seed-Finch.
