Correction. I’m told this is a bright juvenile black bellied plover. My 
education continues.

[cobirds] Gilpin winnings

[David Suddjian]

DFO visited Gilpin County yesterday 9/13 to see what we could find. A few
species were good for Gilpin as per eBird. At the cemeteries along Upper
Apex Road west of Central City we saw a Western Kingbird (only Sept Gilpin
occurrence in eBird), and a Sage Thrasher (only three prior eBird records,
all Aug-Sept), and at Central City Reservoir there was a female
Yellow-headed Blackbird (only one prior County record, form September). Fun
from a county perspective. Yes, I realize there are other records that may
not be in eBird, but it gives a good measure of what's up with these
species.

While at the cemeteries we witnessed a spectacle of migrants. Initially and
for a little while we encountered very few birds and it was pretty quiet.
Then all of a sudden - there were birds. The cemetery area just south of
Upper Apex Road had, as if from nowhere, hosted about 60 Mountain
Bluebirds, 75 Yellow-rumped Warblers, 25 White-crowned Sparrows, 4
Vesper Sparrows and a few others.  They were coursing all over, and the
white-crowneds singing a fair amount. The yellow-rumpeds more or less
following the bluebirds, as they do. We strove for Gilpin weaterbirds and
wound up with Mallard, Great Blue Heron, Killdeer, and Spotted Sandpiper -
a Gilpin goldmine, as it goes up there.

Nancy,

Would you please clarify us about your segment/interview re Chico banding
tomorrow?

The only conference I can find happened this past weekend, so I'm uncertain
as to what I should register for.

Thanks for your help. I hope to get out this week!

Wilson's Warbler 14
Dusky Flycatcher 1
Nashville Warbler 1
Hammond's Flycatcher 1
Lazuli Bunting 1 
Philadelphia Vireo 1 
Blue Grosbeak 1 
White-crowned Sparrow 1
Gray Catbird 2
Brown Thrasher 2 
Ovenbird 1 (caught for the third day in a row) 
Western Tanager 1
American Robin 1 

We are open 6 days a week at Chico Basin Ranch (closed Sunday), usually

[cobirds] Costa's Hummingbird in Bent County update

[Duane Nelson]

Birders,

The immature male Costa's Hummingbird in my yard in Las Animas since 
9/10 is still present this afternoon. It's behavior today has been 
different. It has spent a lot of time flycatching high in trees, 
sometimes being out of sight for longer periods of time. I'm not sure 
whether this indicates it is stocking up on calories before departing 
for points unknown.


I will update cobirds tomorrow morning if the bird is still here. 
Birders are still welcome.

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Chico Basin Ranch Daily Banding Update 9/10/21

[Nancy Ransom]

I thought I had already posted this, but I guess I exited it and didn't 
save it as a draft woops! Today was pretty interesting, with no captures 
our first round, but a surge of captures in our second round. A pleasant 
surprise was a hatch-year Sharp-shinned Hawk, and all of our visitors got 
to get a great look at the bird. We also captured our second Ovenbird of 
the season! Today we had 42 captures, bringing our number up to 382 birds 
for the season. It was extremely hot so we had to close early due to 
temperature. Thank you to all the birders that came out today! And thank 
you to Kara for being an awesome volunteer. 

Captures for 9/10: 
Wilson's Warbler 21
Orange-crowned Warbler 4
Hammond's Flycatcher 1
Chipping Sparrow 2 
Lazuli Bunting 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 6
Ovenbird 1
Yellow-breasted Chat 1
Gray Catbird 3
Sharp-shinned Hawk 1 
Brown Thrasher 1

Also, I wanted to mention that I will be featured on the Western Bird 
Banding Association's Virtual Conference that is happening tomorrow 
morning, where I will be talking more about the net set-up here at Chico, 
and there is also a banding demonstration. It will be featured at 0810 PST! 
If you're interested in seeing me in action, here is the link to register:

We are open 6 days a week at Chico Basin Ranch (closed Sunday), usually 
returning from the first net run around 7am and staying open until about 
11:30am, weather permitting (and temperature permitting at this point). 
Thank you for your continued support!

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Chico Basin Ranch Banding update 9/10

[Nancy Ransom]

Today I was able to take the time to oogle some hummingbirds (both 
Hatch-year Calliopes), which was very exciting. On our second round we also 
caught a Sharp-shinned Hawk in the net which was fun to show to all of our 
visitors. We had a total of 42 captures for the day, with Wilson's Warblers 
still taking the cake on the highest number banded. Thank you to everyone 
that stopped by today! @Jim, Risa, John, Virginia and John Maynard, Joan 
and Tim. And thank you to Kara, Virginia, and John for helping me with 
clips and bird bags on my net rounds! It was highly appreciated. 

Chico captures for 9/10:

[cobirds] Chestnut-collared longspur, Chatfield sand spit, Douglas county.

[Scott Somershoe]

I had a Chestnut-collared fly by the sand spit about 11am. It was calling as it 
flew by. Very distinct call. It was going south. I haven’t relocated it. A 
couple other folks happened to be here and it hasn’t been refound. However, I’d 
walk the weedy barren fields around the parking lot for the sand spit and all 
around that area. If I recall, there was 1-2 CCLO here last year. 

Also 5 immature Sabine’s gulls way out. I can’t make one into a little gull 
though. No LT jaeger yet today. 

CCLO was green big year bird #260.

[cobirds] Costa's Hummingbird in Las Animas, Bent County CO update

[Duane Nelson]

Birders,

The immature male Costa's Hummingbird visiting my feeders in Las Animas 
just put in it's first appearance of the morning, the fifth day he has 
been here.


Visitors are welcome. I prefer if people park in my circular driveway 
rather than on rather busy 6th Street.
