[cobirds] Acorn Woodpecker revisited, El Paso
Hey, Cobirders, During the Colorado Springs CBC yesterday in the N. Cheyenne Canyon section we had the unexpected discovery of the presumed return of the female acorn woodpecker from two years ago. Same area as Dec. 2012: on Cheyenne Blvd, 1804 in particular (lots of side-yard feeders, lots of Christmas inflatables--more than previously), but also in adjacent yards. Generally across from Sacred Grounds coffee shop, within the semicircular Willow Circle environs but also back forth across Cheyenne Blvd. Good Birding into the New Year, Marty Wolf NW CO Spgs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

[cobirds] What if you could see the sound of a nightingale? | EarthSky
Doesn't attempt the accuracy of any old sonogram or even a qualitative quick three beers, but a bit more fun clever... A splicing of visual traits with aural ( lots of imagination!) http://earthsky.org/earth/what-if-you-could-see-the-sound-of-a-nightingale?utm_source=EarthSky+Newsutm_campaign=6444944ed6-EarthSky_Newsutm_medium=emailutm_term=0_c643945d79-6444944ed6-393692797 Marty Wolf CO Spgs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

[cobirds] Interesting article about migrating hybrids
Results from this article about migratory pathways of hybrids vs subspecies (such as for Swainson's thrush) may be of interest for some of us as Coloradans. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/inkfish/2014/07/29/when-mom-and-dad-have-different-migratory-routes-kids-fly-right-down-the-middle/#.U92IjbK9KSM Marty Wolf NW CO Spgs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

[cobirds] Identify 500 birds with new Birdsnap app
Cobirders, Technology gets more more useful--or scary? I don't have an iPhone, but those who do, have a free opportunity to see how good or bad this latest iteration may be... Take a picture of your bird sighting with your phone and get an ID! Getting the pic with an iPhone may be the hardest part, tho I guess some do that thru a scope... Will we be flooded with false IDs? Or will this end all ID-debates? They're working on incorporating vocalizations into a future version--and talking about incorporating the whole app into smart-binocs. Who needs a brain? http://earthsky.org/earth/identify-500-birds-with-new-birdsnap-app?utm_source=EarthSky+Newsutm_campaign=859a669f59-EarthSky_Newsutm_medium=emailutm_term=0_c643945d79-859a669f59-393692797 Marty Wolf, NW CO Spgs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.
