[cobirds] a couple of early birds, Greenlee Preserve, Boulder County, Apr. 21

[Ted Floyd]

Hey, everybody.

Yesterday evening, Tues., Apr. 21, whilst iNatting at Greenlee Preserve, 
eastern Boulder County, Hannah Floyd and I saw two early migrants: an adult 
male *black-chinned hummingbird* and an adult male *Townsend warbler.* Both 
appear to establish new early records for Boulder County, the hummingbird 
by 1 day, the warbler by 7 days. My Spidey sense tells me that gray 
flycatcher is imminent . . .

[cobirds] Louisiana Waterthrush -- Larimer County

[Caleb A]

Hello CObirders,
I chased a Louisiana Thrush that was initially reported by Jessie Reese and 
Matthew DeSaix at Spring Park, Larimer County 
. It was still there, and although the 
sun was down, I managed to get a few photos.
Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S67653417
Hopefully this migrant sticks around through the night! This was a fun 
county life bird to see. Good luck to any chasers tomorrow!
*The birds are happy, and so am I*
*~Caleb Alons, Larimer County*

[cobirds] Migration Weather Advisory: Staying put til Sunday

[Bryan Guarente]

COBirders,
I want to start by *thanking* everyone for the motivation to keep these
going.  The *positive feedback has been astounding and I appreciate it
greatly*.  I also want to thank those of you who have been reporting the
common birds and first of season birds.  They are the easier birds to find
and help us gain a better understanding of the impacts of the weather on
migrants.  The day-to-day movement of birds (not just rarities) is great
data to play with.  Patrick's report of Chipping Sparrows in his urban
Denver yard is a great little bit of excitement for him, and also a really
nice example of the forecasts working out.  Glad to also see the excitement
of getting a new yard bird in COVID times.  Good for you Patrick!

*Back to the weather: *We are in a pattern in the low-level and mid-level
winds where we should expect migrants to stay put at good food sources for
the next few days until Sunday (a ways off, so that forecast could
change).  Think like Dave Leatherman to find the good bird spots.  Find the
food, find the birds.

Winds are either out of the north or northwest holding off the northward
progress of migrants.  To be more birder-positive about it, the next few
days should hold the same birds you have been seeing, or if you need to go
slightly farther afield to get those other local birds, you have some
opportunity.  Thinking about Yellow-throated Vireos.

On Sunday, expect conditions to look a lot like what we saw on Tuesday
(this is a farther out forecast, so take it with more grains of salt).
Winds all day long passing straight through Colorado with no solid stopping
point.  Expect migrant turnover for most of that day.

9am Sunday winds (example of what to expect; green circle is Boulder [for
reference]):
https://earth.nullschool.net/#2020/04/26/1500Z/wind/isobaric/850hPa/orthographic=-105,40,1739/loc=-105.000,40.000


Note the southerly winds are better later in the day in eastern Colorado
for migrants, but still just pass-through.  Expect turnover to be high.
Maybe that means come back to the same spot a few times on that day if you
are passing by again.  On Tuesday of this week, at Lagerman Reservoir
outside of Longmont, there were Long-billed Curlews, then not, then
Dunlins, then not, and multiple varying sandpiper species throughout the
day.  This is part of what I mean by migrant turnover.

If you have any questions, let me know.  I am happy to answer them.

May the birds you want to see stick around for a while.  Get out there and
prove me right or wrong.  More data is better.  Thanks again for the
supportive emails.

[cobirds] Re: Migration Weather Advisory: Tuesday All Day

[Allison Hilf]

I agree.  Bryan's reports are fascinating.   Besides the massive numbers of 
Marbled Godwit and Long-billed Curlew sightings yesterday, I noticed 
several eBird reports stating "FOS".   

Yes, that's one "advantage" of being one of the RBA Compilers - you see 
whats going on around the state while looking for the rarities.  Any 
volunteers out there???   We are very short-staffed, and if you can help 
with one week a quarter we would very much appreciate it.

Thanks Bryan, your posts are much appreciated.

Re: [cobirds] Re: Gulls flying over Sedalia CO?

[Carol Kampert]

On Tuesday, we heard a flock of Franklin's Gulls calling out in the marshy
fields north of Boulder and then saw a flock of about fifteen of them
overhead in close formation, flying northwards.  We wish them luck on their
journey to their nesting areas in the Northern U.S. and Canada after their
long trip from South America!

Re: [cobirds] Re: Migration Weather Advisory: Tuesday All Day

[Patrick O'Driscoll]

I agree with Rob, Bryan.
Anecdotally, I kept an eye on a couple of my patches on Tuesday, given your
"migrational turnover" weather forecast.
Wouldn't you know it -- I had a yardbird first of 7 Chipping Sparrows at
home off Colfax in very urban east-central Denver, and a FOS Ruby-crowned
Kinglet and an unexpected Osprey soaring overhead, both in Denver City Park
about a mile from home.
Thanks again for your interesting and informative posts.

[cobirds] Re: Yellow-throated Vireo Pueblo County 4/22

[Tom Wilberding]

One reported recently in Jefferson County too, south fence line of Harriman 
Lake Park. 
Here is an interesting eBird range map that shows that this eastern species 
has a "Pre-breeding migratory season" in the front range of Colorado. I 
wonder why it flies out to left field briefly here in Colorado? What's our 
attraction?

Re: [cobirds] Woodcock

[Nicholas Komar]

 Carl,  very interesting report. Can you provide more details? For example,

1. Was the location on public property? If so, can you provide location for 
others to visit?

2.  Were these birds displaying? Calling? Singing? It is woodcock breeding 
season. Could they be breeding locally? Were these birds flying around at dawn 
or dusk (displaying)?

3. Woodcock are very rare in Colorado. How did you rule out similar species 
such as Wilson’s Snipe and Long-billed Dowitcher?

Thanks,

Colorado. He is also a specialist in avian vocalizations and the author of
The Peterson Field Guide to Bird Sounds of Eastern North America and The

[cobirds] Re: Gulls flying over Sedalia CO?

[Charlie Chase]

They may also be some of the flocks of California Gulls pouring into the 
breeding colonies at Antero Res, Walden Res, Riverside Reservoir and points 
north.  This 3 day window is when i would see early breeders start arriving 
and setting up territories.   That said, Franklin's are also moving through 
so good likelihood as well.

The Yellow-throated Vireo is still here at Pueblo City Park, singing above
the Frisbee Golf Course creek area, on the west side of the park.

[cobirds] CoBirds moderator note: signature lines and subject lines

[David Suddjian]

Dear CoBirders,

As we head into the peak of spring migration, allow me this reminder:

1. *all CoBirds posts should have a signature line with your full name and
city*. The actual rule for this Google Group calls for listing your *state*,
too, but this really seems much less necessary... but so easy to do.  The
signature line is a matter of communication courtesy to the whole group,
and helps to put the report in some context. Plus names are not always
evident from email addresses, and sometimes birders post from an email
address that list someone else's name (such as a spouse). So please include
your name and city at least with every post.

2. Please, when appropriate, *include a location and county name in your
subject line when reporting birds*. This is helpful for readers to place
the report. The list has a large number of members, some new, some older,
some near and some far. Readers may not be familiar with the location you
mention, or may be uncertain of county. If it is not easy to include the
location/county in the subject line (or maybe there are multiple spots),
then at least mention the county as you mention the location in the body of
the email so it is clear. As always, use good judgement and err on the side
of being helpful to the reader.

The official CoBirds "rules of the road" are here:

[cobirds] Re: Gulls flying over Sedalia CO?

[Laura Gorman]

I believe these are flocks of Franklin’s gulls migrating between South 
America and northern US/Canada.  I’ve seen and heard two flocks in the past 
couple days here in Cañon City, Co.

[cobirds] Re: American Bittern

[Ben S]

Hello,
Mesa Reservoir in Boulder had an American Bittern a couple weeks ago. To my 
knowledge, it is probably still there. Saw it around sunset.
