[cobirds] Mountain Birding Apr. 15-16

[Jack Bushong]

Hi all,

My brother and I spent the last few days birding the mountains and found a 
few interesting species. Below is a summary (albeit rather lengthy) of the 
highlights.

Lake County

Crystal Lake: Full of waterfowl including good numbers of Lesser Scaup and 
a Western Grebe that tripped the filter. In the surrounding sagebrush flats 
we also found an early Sage Thrasher and several Vesper Sparrow.

Twin Lakes: Mostly iced over. The sliver of open water had a large flock of 
Western Grebe (114). Also present was a rare (for Lake Co.) Canvasback. 

Chaffee County

Clear Creek Reservoir: Frozen except for the far western side where 
waterfowl were congregating, including a stunning male Wood Duck. The major 
highlights were a male Mallard x Mexican Duck and a pair of Red-breasted 
Merganser.

Field along CR 160: 11 continuing Long-billed Curlew. 

Sands Lake SWA: A stroll around the pond yielded an assortment of ducks, a 
Savannah Sparrow (perhaps a tad early for the mountains), and a flock of 
Tree and VG Swallows.

Gunnison County

McCabe Lane Wetlands: The highlight was an adult Black-crowned Night Heron 
that flushed from the edge of one of the ponds. Also of note was a Merlin 
near the parking lot.

Blue Mesa Reservoir: We birded the far eastern corner of the reservoir 
which required a ½ mile slog across the exposed lakebed to get to the 
water’s edge. There were good numbers of Franklin’s, Ring-billed, and 
California Gulls, a smattering of ducks including another Mallard x Mexican 
Duck, and eight Bald Eagles. Also noteworthy was a flock of eight Western 
Sandpipers and six Least Sandpipers. 

Saguache County

Saguache (town): The eastern corner of the town had lots of activity 
including an Evening Grosbeak, several Lincoln’s Sparrow, and a rare Blue 
Jay. The most unusual bird was the San Luis Valley’s first eBird record of 
an Eastern Phoebe at the intersection of Christy Ave and 11th St. 

Rio Grande County

Home Lake SWA: As John Rawinski mentioned in an earlier post, Home Lake is 
being dredged which is resulting in fantastic but ephemeral shorebird 
habitat. Of note was a Western Sandpiper, two Long-billed Dowitcher, 47 
American Avocet, 13 Greater Yellowlegs, and 24 Lesser Yellowlegs. 

Monte Vista NWR: A large Tree Swallow flock had an early Northern 
Rough-winged Swallow and Bank Swallow. Also of interest was a flock of 
lingering Cackling Geese.

Alamosa County

Wetlands along Riverwood Dr: We noticed this place on Google Maps and 
thought it’d be worth a check. It did not disappoint! A Black-necked Stilt 
and several Long-billed Dowitchers were on the W side of the road while a 
Great-tailed Grackle serenaded us from nearby.

San Luis Lakes SWA: The expansive mudflats held a Black-necked Stilt, three 
Baird’s Sandpiper, three Western Sandpipers, a Least Sandpiper, and many 
avocets. Also of note were two Bonaparte’s Gulls.

Park County

Antero Reservoir: Mostly frozen except for the far SE corner. In this 
pocket of open water were many ducks, most noteworthy of which was a male 
Mexican Duck. Also in the area were 13 American Avocets, two Greater 
Yellowlegs, and a pair of Wood Ducks. The grasslands nearby had an early 
(for Park Co.) Lincoln’s Sparrow. 

Overall it was a fantastic trip! Nice to see some migrants beginning to 
trickle through the mountains. All of the aforementioned species have/will 
be entered into eBird with an accompanying description.

Good Birding,

Jack Bushong, 

Louisville

Re: [cobirds] Swan ID help/Weld

[Susan Rosine]

I saw them this afternoon. I entered them into eBird as Tundra Swans. They
are not adults. It was a judgement call, mostly based on their head,
including bill. We'll see if the reviewer confirms it or not. They just
didn't seem quite big enough for Trumpeters.

Re: [cobirds] Swan ID help/Weld

[J V Rudd]

When I saw these two species in Michigan a long time ago, I remember beak
shape being the best way to tell the difference. Based on that I think both
of these are Trumpeter Swans with the long, straight bills.

[cobirds] Snowy egrets, Arapahoe county

['Deborah Carstensen' via Colorado Birds]

I have three snowy egrets on my pond this afternoon, the first of the season 
for me. So beautiful to see them! This is the first day for me to have wood 
ducks on the pond as well. I have had wood ducks nesting every summer for the 
past 10 years but I don’t know if they’re going to find a good place this year 
because so many of the older trees have been cut down.

I have had a pair of hooded mergansers on the pond now for several weeks and, 
like in previous years, always hope they find a place to nest here on the 
ponds.(They never do. )  I also have common mergansers and cormorants as well.

So grateful for the arrival of spring!

Observation start time: 10:15:00 
Observation end   time: 14:00:00 
Total observation time: 3.75 hours

Official Counter:Carol Cwiklinski

Observers:Steve Small

Visitors:
We had no visitors to observation. The trail wasn’t too bad early, but I
expect it will be a muddy mess tomorrow.


Weather:
We hiked up the ridge late so the storm had a chance to clear. We arrived
to snow flurries and overcast skies. Eventually the sky cleared to 75%
cloud cover and it was a beautiful day. It seemed perfect for migration,
except there wasn’t much.

Raptor Observations:
A few hawks migrated today, but there did not seem to be many in the
pipeline. We watched a local Peregrine falcon throughout the day, and a
beautiful adult golden eagle.

Non-raptor Observations:
We saw flocks of robins moving through, counting almost 100. They were
moving low along the ridge eating juniper berries. Otherwise there were few
other birds seen.

Predictions:
Gotta be better than today.

Dinosaur Ridge - Denver Field Ornithologists information may be found at:
http://www.dfobirds.org


More site information at hawkcount.org:  
https://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=123

Site Description:
Dinosaur Ridge is the only regularly staffed hawkwatch in Colorado and is
the best place in the world to see migrating Ferruginous Hawks. Dinosaur
Ridge may be the best place in the country to see the rare dark morph of
the Broad-winged Hawk (a few are seen each spring). Hawkwatchers who linger
long enough may see resident Golden Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks and Prairie
Falcons, in addition to migrating Swainson's, Cooper's and Sharp-shinned
Hawks, American Kestrels and Turkey Vultures. Peregrine Falcons and
Ferruginous Hawks are uncommon; Northern Goshawk is rare but regular.
Non-raptor species include Rock Wren, and sometimes Bushtit, Western
Bluebird, Sandhill Crane, White-throated Swift, American White Pelican or
Dusky Grouse. Birders of any skill level are always welcome.  HawkWatch at
Dinosaur Ridge is generally staffed by volunteers from about 9 AM to around
3 PM from March 1st to May 7th.

Directions to site:
>From exit 259 on I-70 towards Morrison, drive south under freeway and take
left into first parking lot, the Stegosaurus lot. Follow small signs from
the southwest end of lot to the hawkwatch site. The hike starts heading
east on an old two-track and quickly turns south onto a trail on the west
side of the ridge. When the trail nears the top of the ridge, turn left,
head through the gate, and walk to the clearly-visible, flat area at the
crest of the ridge.  (Distance: 0.56 miles, Elevation gain: 259 feet)

Re: [cobirds] Swan ID help/Weld

[Lauren Hyde]

Based on what I am looking at in Sibley’s, my guess is that they are first 
summer tundra swans. Their backs are pretty white compared to their heads and 
necks, and they seem on the smaller side when compared to the ducks. But then 
again, this is just a guess!

[cobirds] Re: Swan ID help/Weld

[Caleb A]

Hi Gary!

I believe that at least one of the birds (if not both) are Trumpeter Swans.

[cobirds] Say's Phoebes along Greenwood Gulch in Greenwood Village, Arapahoe County

[kevygudguy via Colorado Birds]

Hello Fellow Birders, During our daily constitutional along the gulch-side 
trail that runs northwest from the intersection of Arapahoe Road and Orchard 
Drive (not Road) and ends at the Highline Canal at the southeast corner of 
Marjorie Perry Preserve, my wife and I encountered two Say's Phoebes about 
1/4-mile apart.  We also encountered a swarm of ?midges? along the way. Keep

Loveland, close to me. I read the link given by Bernd and learned a lot! I had 
imagined a covey of juncos in the cedar bush out back all huddled together 
facing outwards with the Vesper sparrow toasty in the middle. And, perhaps I’m 
not far wrong. But from the article it seems more likely that the juncos would 
be facing in with their tails pointing out! Thank you all again. The sun is

You could bring him in, perhaps start him in a box with something warm to bring 
his temp up. If he perks up he could go in the cage. I think it’s supposed to 
be cold tomorrow night too. But if he perks up, acts normally and seems

Re: [cobirds] NO continuing Long-billed Curlews - SE of Longmont

[Jeff Percell]

I was there about 20 minutes ago and counted 11 Long-billed Curlews. A much 
smaller group, best observed from Pipit Rd, though not really a spot to 
'pull over' with the mud. They were tough to see without glass and you 
certainly need to know where to be looking (South of the road, just West of 
the large sod sprinkler)  

Thanks,
Jeff

[cobirds] Re: Food of curlews

[dgulb...@gmail.com]

Couldn't find the miller moth UTube on the Ft Collins website (but did 
discover an archive of excellent newsletters there!);
however, a search on "UTube Fort Collins Audubon" turned it right up.  Thx!

[cobirds] Wilson’s Snipes, Boulder Cty

[bay . wren]

Certainly not rare today - a careful tally has just yielded 133 at North Teller 
Lake this morning. No sign of the Solitary Sandpiper or semipalmated plover 
that have been seen here recently, although they could’ve been hiding among all 
the snipe for all I know.

Quite a spectacle!
