[cobirds] Chatfield Horse Stables Off Limits

2021-01-15 Thread W. Robert Shade III
Several of us were approached by the State Park Police this morning and
informed that they do not want non-horse people wandering around inside the
stable/corral area. We are free to use the parking lot (where the
Golden-crowned Sparrow has appeared) or to approach the rabbit brush area
on the east from the road. (Park at Fox Run)

[cobirds] checklist compiler tool

2021-01-15 Thread 'Hugh Kingery' via Colorado Birds
 You can also import lists to eBird from Excel by using the Import option. It 
requires that you:   *  Use a Comma Separated Values file (when you open Excel 
files, go to the box after File Name which ordinarily says 'All Excel files' -- 
click -- and then click on the first line, "All files.")
    * Fill in the top 14 lines. (Leave Lines 2 & 3 blank; you don't have to 
fill in Line 14)
    * Have no blanks otherwise    * Use this date format:  "11/14/2020 "
    * Start the bird list on Line 15.

It also allows you to enter several counts one one file.
I can send you a template if you would like.

I've used this for years (and for 1000s of checklists).

[cobirds] Black-capped Chickadee Territorial Behavior & Great Horned feathers - Arapahoe

2021-01-15 Thread jared.d...@gmail.com
I believe it was Wednesday that I started hearing Black-capped Chickadees 
start up their well-known, two note songs around Centennial (Arapahoe). I 
also noted them seeming increasingly intolerant of others in both my yard 
and in neighborhood trees. A lot of active chasing going on right now. I'm 
also pretty sure I heard earthworms in the leaf litter on one of the warmer 
nights this week. Seemed early, but the mild weather might have had them 
active?

On a dog walk mid-week, I spotted what I think are two downy Great Horned 
Owl feathers in two different yards, separated by about 250 feet or so. 
Seemed unusual.

[cobirds] Winter/Pacific Wren at Pella Crossing, Boulder County

2021-01-15 Thread 'Bill Prather' via Colorado Birds
At about 11 AM today a Winter/Pacific Wren was observed at Pella Crossing, 
Boulder County south of Hygiene. We saw it for brief looks 3 times over a 20 
minute period as close as 10 feet.  It seemed to be very ruddy for a Winter 
Wren but I did not not anything definitive for either species and it was 
completely silent.  The location was in the Marlatt section of the park, west 
of 75th Street.  There are toilets near the far southwest side and the bird was 
along the ditch that crosses a path just east of those toilets.  It did not 
seem to be particularly shy but very good at keeping out of sight as is typical.
