[cobirds] Boulder County shorebirds
At 3:30 this afternoon (8-2-20) my grandson Jack and I stopped by Little Gaynor lake (after TedFloyd’s reports of shore bird habitat there) and saw 4 Avocets, 3 Wilson’s Phalaropes, 1 Semipalmated Sandpiper, 4 Baird’s Sandpipers and at least 10 Killdeer. The birds moved progressively west where the light was poor so may be other species there. Earlier in the day probably better time to check it out. Good birding. Bill Fink.

[cobirds] Ebird postings
At least on cobirds people including me would say where exactly they saw a given species-for instance Rabbit Mountain is a rather large area so nice pics of a Blue Grosbeak are great but where were these pics taken on Rabbit Mountain? Some of us or maybe just me who are still working don’t have the time to wander around this area aimlessly-I don’t mean to single out this example but how great are all these ebird results for the average birder-agh citizen science you say -so be it..

On 6-13-20 I birded parts of both counties noted above-best birds were a Mississippi Kite just northeast of town of Sedgwick and a photogenic Upland sandpiper on a fencepost between Nunn and Sedgwick.Also Bell’s vireo in western section of Tamarack but no Cardinals at usual spots in eastern section-I wonder if anyone has seen them there this year?

[cobirds] Posts regarding gull identification
I want to say that I hope cobirds doesn’t continue to become a forum for some “expert” birders to make denigrating comments about other birder’s identification capabilities. Comments like “Nick’s been wrong before” are uncalled for in my opinion. I’ve been birding in Colorado since 1986 and I’ve never seen such lack of civility and I for one hope it doesn’t continue!

[cobirds] Barrow’s Goldeneye
I saw a male and female Barrow’s Goldeneye west along the Platte river from the parking lot at 88th street and the Platte-just beyond a river-wide “waterfall” about 30 yards in a group of 6-8 rocks on the south side of the river.

[cobirds] 5-6-19 Shorebirds Kiowa Co.
I had 14 species of shorebirds at Lower Queens Reservoir today (thanks to Ric Olsen for directions). Best we’re Semipalmated and Snowy Plovers and Western Sandpiper-the latter among many Semipalmated and Baird’s Sandpipers. I couldn’t find yesterday’s White-rumped Sandpiper and the Whimbrels present yesterday apparently sent a stand-in Long-billed Curlew which is still a beautiful bird! Good birding.
