[cobirds] Re: RFI-- Red-flanked Bluetail

[Dave Cameron]

Yeah, I assumed no sightings, given the lack of report.  What might be 
useful is stories of the extent to which it was searched for, what time, 
how long, how many, etc.  If no one went, it might be worth a chase.  If 20 
ppl were there for 5 hrs and came up empty, that'd be a different plan.

[Brandon]

Looking over e-bird reports from the area in Albany County today and
yesterday, there are still no sightings since Monday afternoon.  Hopefully
it is on the way to Pueblo for the winter.

[cobirds] RFI-- Red-flanked Bluetail

[Dave Cameron]

Conspicuous by its absence is any update on the mega-rarity in Laramie.  
Surely someone must've trekked up there today.  Any news at all, at this 
point, would be welcome, and would help one decide whether to haul up there 
tomorrow.

Thanks in advance for any news, rumors or heresay.

[cobirds] Sandhill Crane on Ground Arapaho’s County

[David Bailey]

I know many of you have seen some Sandhill Crane flyovers this fall but my 
brother, Mitchell, has one pointed out to him at the Big Dry screen East 
Trailhead behind Littleton HS.  It’s sitting nicely in a field for anyone who 
wants photos.

[cobirds] Snow Goose and Northern Shrike, Boulder County

[Paula Hansley]

CObirders,
This morning the Boulder Bird Club saw a juvenile Snow Goose (white head,
gray back) at Sawhill-Walden Ponds. It was in a small pond with some
Cackling geese near the center of the Sawhill  part of the area.

We also saw a Northern Shrike close to the wooden bird blind in the Sawhill
area.

Pictures of the Snow Goose will be posted on eBird.
