[cobirds] Red-eyed Vireo, Least Flycatcher, Adams County
I visited Barr Lake State Park for some socially distant birding with some other CFO birders this morning. We birded the southeast corner of the Lake, from the banding station to the Gazebo Overlook, a two-mile stretch. It was quite birdy and we recorded over 50 species, many of which were in family groups. The last bird of the morning was a singing Red-eyed Vireo just west of the banding station. I stayed back to record it and thought I heard a ch’bek or two of a Least Flycatcher. When I finally had a chance to listen to my vireo recording, it had picked up at least 5 ch’bek calls. Both of these species are flagged as rare by eBird. I will upload audio to the eBird checklist shortly: https://ebird.org/checklist/S70885567 Nick Komar Fort Collins -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Lewis's Woodpeckers--Larimer County
There is a pair of Lewis's woodpeckers near the Hewlett Gulch trailhead up the Poudre River canyon. They are about 150m down from the structure at the TH, on the right, nesting in a cavity facing the trail in the pair of dead cottonwoods just after the first dead cottonwood.

I thought the definitive way to ID Eastern vs. Western Meadowlarks was their Call notes, not their songs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

Re: [cobirds] Idaho Springs
Doug, Joe gives great advice. On the way, there will be Black-headend Grosbeaks and possibly Band-tailed Pigeons (a troop of over 20 come to my feeders in Empire), Warbling Vireos and Wilson’s Warblers. Will you be driving to Idaho Springs/Georgetown? I might have some other suggestions.

[cobirds] Western Slope Swans
On my way to the Western Slope, David Starbuck and I had two definite swans flying low and upriver to the east. First impression was Mute Swan. Does anyone out there have any info on identification of these guys? We were approximately 5 miles east of Cameo on 1-70.

[cobirds] Re: Hooded Merganser breeding in Colorado / Jeffco (I think)
Hooded Merganser Fledglings Jeffco WRGB Saw 3 half-sized fledglings sitting on a log at the edge of Tabor Lake in the Wheatridge Greenbelt. Mother sitting placidly next to them on the bank. Considering the huge horde of Cormorants nesting on the island (as well as several pairs of Great Blues and some Night Herons) Tabor Lake must be a hugely productive lake for fish!! Other surprise sighting: a TV headed east over Bass Lake, being chased by a Red-winged. Other nesting behaviour: Rough-winged Swallow entering a hole in the bank of Clear Creek. Couldn't see if mouths were full of food or if they were tidying up a hole for a 2nd brood.

Re: [cobirds] Idaho Springs
Doug, You'll have a lot to cover biking up to Guanella Pass itself and the campground near it on the Georgetown side. So if you must find a spot near Idaho SPrings, I'd cruise around the town itself. Hummer feeders? COnsider a cruise around Georgetown, but main goal is the PASS, where you'll find habitat and birds not easy at lower altitudes. 3 toed woodpecker, rare WW Crossbill and it may take a while to search for and find WT Ptarmigan at the pass. Good luck. Let me know what you checked and saw please.

Does anyone know of a decent birding spot/trail in close proximity to Idaho Springs? I’m biking Guanella pass tomorrow and was thinking of heading up early to do some birding. Thank you.
