[cobirds] Flammulated Owl in yard

[Leon Bright]

   COBirders, since Mary Kay Waddington encouraged me, I have added
Flammulated Owl to Bryan Guarente's list. I had the great pleasure to have a
mated pair fly in and perch on our cabin deck railing, about eight feet from
where I was sitting. I heard a soft vocalization and turned my head slowly
to see them clearly. After a few minutes they flew off into the oncoming
dusk. I was able to I.D. them easily since only a few days before I had seen
a Flam being rehabbed at the Pueblo Nature Center. This took place in the
summer of 1972 or '73 at the end of Custer County Road 182R at 9,200 ft.

Observation start time: 09:00:00 
Observation end   time: 17:00:00 
Total observation time: 8 hours

Official Counter:Dustin Kohler

Observers:Steve Ryder , Zach Haag

Visitors:
We had 8 visitors to the ridge today. A couple of them were runners. These
women did not let 2 and a half feet of snow stop them from getting their
run in!!


Weather:
Today was a mostly sunny day with little wind until the afternoon. The wind
picked up and we got a few migrants. 

The snow was reflecting a lot of light and was still a workout to get to
the site.

Raptor Observations:
Migration today was the day of immature birds (3 out of our 4 migrants
today) including our first Sharpshin Hawk of the season. The Sharpie passed
about 50 feet from us where we could watch the fast flaps, small head, and
squared-off tail zoom past us.

Two Immature Red-tailed left together both seeming unsure of themselves and
where to go before working their way north together. 

We saw a Juvenile Bald Eagle and an adult red-tailed that might have
migrated, but they went straight east from us. We also saw a local Juvenile
Golden Eagle and a pair of Red-tailed hawks that were seen copulating and
catching and eating mice.

Non-raptor Observations:
When watching the red-tailed hawk that flew off to the east we saw 5
sandhill cranes in the background. 

We got to watch local black-tailed prairie dogs unbury their burrows out
from under the snow. 

A mouse ran across our ridge and disappeared under the central juniper
tree. 

We also saw a drone that someone was joyriding around and definitely not
following a searching pattern.

Predictions:
Tomorrow looks similar to today. Sunny and reaching the 40s. If we get a
more persistent wind, then I would expect a lot more migrants than the
mostly dead air we had today.

Snowshoes would still help but are not completely necessary to get up to
the ridge.

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

Site Description:
Dinosaur Ridge is the only regularly staffed hawk watch in Colorado and is
the best place in the world to see migrating Ferruginous Hawks. Hawk
watchers may see 17 species of migrating raptors; and it is an excellent
site to see rare dark morph buteos including Broad-winged hawk,
Swainson’s hawk, Ferruginous hawk, Rough-legged hawk and Red-tailed Hawk.
Other raptors we see include Golden and Bald Eagles, Northern harrier,
Osprey, Peregrine Falcons, Prairie Falcons, Cooper's and Sharp-shinned
Hawks, American Kestrels, Merlin, and Turkey Vultures. American Goshawk is
uncommon but also counted each season. Non-raptor species include Rock
Wren, Bushtit, Western Bluebird, Sandhill Crane, White-throated Swift,
American White Pelican, and Dusky Grouse. Birders of any skill level are
always welcome. The hawk watch at 

[cobirds] earlier Colorado Yard List

[Rosie Watts]

We lived on the west side of Colorado Springs (near Manitou) from 1972 -
1982.   Three blocks south of Garden of the Gods, where we walked our dogs
most days.

List was about 120 species (I don't find the list right now).   First
sparked a real interest in birds when we had *Evening Grosbeaks *there!
 They were regulars there for several years, in large numbers, to our
delight.

Other species of interest:  *Band-tailed Pigeons* in large numbers (Hugh
Kingery can attest to that, as we sent him a photograph back in the day
when we used to report our quarterly sightings on paper).

Also large numbers of *Pinyon Jays* - such a treat!

[cobirds] Colorado Yard List

[Rosie Watts]

Another historical list.  Although we've lived out of state for 20+ years
now, we still have many cherished memories of birds and birding in Colorado
during our formative birding years.

*Location:* Penrose, at about 5300' elevation in foothills, pinyon-juniper,
prairie edge, on 10 acres.  Situated between Brush Hollow Reservoir (a mile
away), and the Arkansas River (maybe 4 miles south of us).   The property
was part of an old dairy operation in the 1920s, and there was a very
seasonal pond/marsh/wetland.  Pinyon pine, junipers, cottonwoods, some
native buffalo grass habitat, an old irrigation ditch, saltbush, and some
other native woody plants that we transplanted.

*Time range*: 1982 - 2002
*Total species: * 195
*Style:* Dedicated
*Rarest species: Phainopepla - two sightings 9 years apart. *Seen by many
folks in our first sighting, a young male or female.  That was before most
of us were hooked up to the internet, so it was phone tree type
communication.  It stayed around for several days, so it did allow folks to
travel from Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Denver, Boulder, etc.

But the really odd thing - 9 years later, we had an adult male appear at
our little fish pond!   It was a one-hit wonder, I watched it drinking for
less than a minute, and it flew off.  I made a frantic phone call to get
the word out before being late for work!But I don't know that anyone
else was able to refind the bird.

*Highlights: *
White Pelicans
Snowy Egret
Great Blue, Green Herons, and Black-crowned Night-Heron
White-faced Ibis
*Raptors*: 17 species, if you're counting Turkey Vulture
Sandhill Crane, "Common" Snipe, Long-billed Curlew
Band-tailed Pigeon
Yellow-billed Cuckoo
*Owls*: 5 species including both Western and Eastern Screech-owl; Burrowing
and Long-eared (once each), and an emaciated Flammulated Owl that we found
along our drive, took him to the raptor center in Pueblo, but he was too
far gone. :-(
*Swifts:* Black, Chimney and White-throated
*Woodpeckers*: 8 species including Lewis' and Red-headed
Gray Flycatcher, Eastern Kingbird
*Corvids*: 9 species, including a Clark's Nutcracker; as well as being
"Pinyon Jay Central" for a long time - we had a fairly regular flock, and
many folks came to get their year or sometimes lifer, many from out of
state (thanks to Brandon!).
Yellow-throated Vireo
Juniper Titmouse (also many folks got their lifer there)
*Warblers*: 16 sp, including Palm, Blackpoll, Black and White
*Eastern Towhee *(several folks got to see that one, as well)
*Dickcissel*
*Orchard Oriole *

*Most Memorable*: too many to mention!   We loved walking the property at
least a couple times a day, and all the friends and fellow birders we
enjoyed there.

We put up two nest boxes for kestrels.  Early on, we had both boxes used by
two different pairs (one year).  After that, it seemed that one box didn't
get used (maybe by starlings).   But the box out back (closest to our
house), was used for many years successfully.When they were nesting, we
would severely limit our trips out the back door, and surreptitiously
viewed them through a small window, always with delight.

Thanks for starting this interesting thread!  I've enjoyed reading from old
friends as well as folks I know only from the listserve.   And a fun trip
down memory lane as well.

[cobirds] Re: Needs List for COBirds Aggregated Yard Lists

[Thomas Heinrich]

Hi all,
The list keeps growing!  Now with Vermilion Flycatcher, Lesser Nighthawk,
and White-eyed Vireo we're up to *382.  *

I would like to apologize for any confusion related to my RFI about the
Black-chinned Sparrow. I should have been more specific about which
sighting I was referring to.  The report is 2010-115 from La Plata county.
If anyone has any more specific information on this sighting they could
share, that would be great. But I definitely want to avoid any sense of
prying or not respecting privacy.

Thanks again, and sorry for any confusion.

Sincerely,
Thomas

[cobirds] Yard list

[Peter Ruprecht]

CObirders,

Thanks for this fascinating discussion.

I'd like to mention my yard list, not the birds on it so much, but the
physical list itself. For 18 years I kept it on paper in the kitchen where
I could easily consult it (and reminisce about past sightings when there
weren't any birds around.) Our house burned in the Marshall Fire and sadly
I did not grab the list when rushing to escape. That was a real
disappointment.

Imagine my delight when I was rummaging through old files in my google
drive and found that I had made a copy of the list a few months prior to
the fire, and then forgotten about it. We just moved back home and I wonder
how long it'll take to add a new species to the list given that there are
few trees and bushes left nearby. That next entry will be so satisfying!

In case you are wondering, we had seen 130 species from our small suburban
yard that backs to a large open space. (I count birds I see from the yard,
even if they're in the OS.) Over 18 years, we had 18 raptor species; having
a pdog colony right over the back fence helps with that. Other fun finds
were Field Sparrow, Bewick's Wren, Ash-throated Flycatcher, and flocks of
migrating Sandhill Cranes every October.

Try Orion Telescopes - We have their filters for our binoculars and our
birding scope and they work well. Conversely, a solar telescope is
a wonderful thing!

[cobirds] Yard List Snowmass Village

[Bryan Gieszl]

These have been really fun to read!

Here is my submission from high in the mountains in Snowmass Village at 8200 
feet

How long have you been keeping your list? April 2020—keeping a list was a 
pandemic idea.  Only one bird on the list was only observed prior to that—a 
very memorable Northern Saw-whet Owl

What's your style of yard listing: casual, mainly feeder watching, moderate, 
dedicated, obsessed? dedicated, I try to make a list every day

How many species? 119

Rarest, or favorite species? Harris's Sparrow, Common Redpoll, Rose-breasted 
Grosbeak are the locally least common species.  Favorite species are certainly 
the at time very large numbers of Rosy-finches in late winter and early spring, 
all three species.

Most memorable experiences?  1.  An especially large flock of rosy finches in 
2023—I attempted a count and estimated 1500.  2.  Hosting a birding tour group 
mostly from Great Britain to see the rosy finches and random other visiting 
birders to the yard to see their lifer rosy finches.  All birders are welcome!  
3. Having one of our rosy finches fall to the ground—splat! dead—right in front 
of me while I was watching, then seeing a Prairie Falcon fly away, talons 
empty.  4.  After watching hormone-saturated and addled male Brown-capped rosy 
finches attempt to copulate with a dead female, my young children excitedly 
told me that they were performing CPR on the dead bird!  5.  Lifer Common 
Redpoll for me in my yard!  6.  Hosting a Harris's Sparrow for several weeks 
last spring and watching it molt into adult plumage and listening to it as it 
developed? learned? it's song

Location/habitat: urban, suburban, rural, etc? 4 acres of hillside native 
Serviceberry and Gambel Oak, a few spruce and aspens.  Feeders and nest boxes

Thanks, Kevin — I’m currently still considering this option. I cringe at my

[cobirds] Needs List for COBirds Aggregated Yard Lists

[Thomas Heinrich]

Hi all,

For those interested, I thought I would share this list of species not yet
ticked on the aggregate yard list. Many fall into the category of "yeah,
right."  But, still a lot of potential.

There are a few species I am wondering about for various reasons.

*Little Gull*: Found in a pond in Pinery, (near or part of Parker, Douglas
Cty, I believe) in November, 2004. As I recall, there were houses lining,
or somewhat close to this pond.

*Snowy Owl*: seen on many houses near Standley Lake< Jefferson Cty, in
December 2017, so likely to be on someone's yard list.

*Red-breasted Sapsucker*: Seen in the Broadmoor golf course and surrounding
yards.

*Gyrfalcon*: wintering in Larimer Cty several years near the landfill off
of S Taft Hill Rd. There is a neighborhood just to the east of the fields
on the east side of Taft Hill.

*Black-chinned Sparrow*:  One report on the CBRC page has the location of
sighting listed as "Private Property."  It's not clear whether the birds
were found by a landowner, or whether it was a yard or, more likely, part
of an undeveloped large parcel or property.


The following sightings have been added to Bryan's list, but were not sent
to me directly, so have no names or counties associated with them. It would
be great to be able to include those details. Please feel free to email me
directly, or once the lists have been merged fill in the appropriate slots.

Lesser Black-backed Gull
American Bittern
Acorn Woodpecker


Species total is now *378*


Thanks to all who are contributing!

Thomas

Needs List for COBIrds Aggregated Yard List.xlsx
Description: MS-Excel 2007 spreadsheet

Re: [cobirds] Yard lists

[tom none]

I had one day where I had three different intergrades at the same time. One 
female and one male each of which had strong red red chevron on the nape.  
Another male had a weak red chevron.  I've always wondered if they were 
siblings.

[cobirds] My Pueblo yard list

[VAN - KRISTYN TRUAN]

Here is what I've seen through the last 30 years in my yard.

Began keeping list at this 0.77-acre lot in downtown Pueblo across the street 
from Mineral Palace Park in 1994.  Been Feeding birds, providing dripper bird 
bath, planting numerous wildlife friendly trees/shrubs.

177 species as of today.

Highlights:

Five species of geese (flyovers), found nesting Mallard in front parking, 
lowland Band-tailed Pigeon, a Lesser Nighthawk rootsed on top of green ash, 
flushed Poor-will migrants twice, shorebird flyovers (Killdeer, Long-billed 
Curlew, Wilson's Snipe, Spotted Sandpiper, and Solitary Sandpiper), Green 
Heron, Great Egret and Great Blue Heron flyovers, 14 species of soaring raptors 
and 5 species of owl (including Eastern Screech and No. Pygmy), 14 Flycatcher 
species (including Eastern Wood Pewee), White-eyed Vireo twice, Rock, Marsh, 
and Carolina Wrens, Gray-cheek Thrush, unexpected city Lark Bunting flyover, 19 
species of Warbler (including; Golden-winged, Blue-winged, Morning, Kentucky, 
Chestnut-sided, Black-throated Blue, and Yellow-throated).

Took up Mothing in 2011 and now at 920 species of moths and butterflies 
photographed in the yard.

More to come,

Van Truan

Re: [cobirds] New message to post

[Kevin Schutz]

Hi Margaret, You might look for solar films instead of pre-made filters.  I
did this for the 2017 eclipse when I couldn't find an appropriately sized
filter and ended up crafting my own filter cover.  I'm not sure what brand
I used at the time, but these can be found at photo stores such as B
Photo.

Re: [cobirds] Re: Yard list questions: How many of CO's 520 species have been seen (or heard) from a yard?

[Diana Beatty]

For people who are in to yard listing and/or citizen science, you might be
interested in a new gadget.

I recently bought a haikubox.  This is a box you plug in to an external
outlet at your home and it constantly listens for birds and uses your wifi.
You use an app or website to see what it hears.  It records short intervals
and you can listen and verify accuracy .  It keeps ongoing data you can
download or track online.  It shares the data with Cornell Labs and the
haikubox network.

Re: [cobirds] Re: Yard list questions: How many of CO's 520 species have been seen (or heard) from a yard?

['Norm Lewis' via Colorado Birds]

 PPS- I should have read the directions a little morel closely- I would say I 
fall into the obsessed category- I keep 10-15 feeders active, depending upon 
the season, and have a semi-wild area on my back hill, as I live in a little 
valley and the upper back yard areas on the street are not developed, which 
gives me about an eighth of an acre of mixed trees and brush.
Whew.  I think that's all!

Re: [cobirds] Re: Yard list questions: How many of CO's 520 species have been seen (or heard) from a yard?

['Norm Lewis' via Colorado Birds]

 Good morning Thomas - In my yard, located on the north side of Green Mountain 
in Lakewood, I have seen 133 species.  By far the most notable was a bronzed 
cowbird.  This bird appeared at a neighbor's feeders in June of 1990, and 
stayed at that location (about a mile from my house) long enough for many 
birders to see it.  To my surprise, one morning it showed up at my feeders, but 
did not linger long.  Other birds that are unusual, either because of season or 
geography, included juniper titmouse, band-tailed pigeon (which I found 
roosting on my back step on a frigid winter morning), orchard oriole, canyon 
wren, common poorwill, purple finch, red crossbill, all three rosy-finches, 
northern shrike, red-naped sapsucker, eastern screech/northern pygmy/saw-whet 
owls, indigo bunting, Carolina wren, brown thrasher and summer tanager.The most 
interesting event observed in the yard was a northern shrike killing a 
rosy-finch and stashing it in a lilac bush.
Thanks for the interesting project!
