Re: [cobirds] Possible American Redstart at Lowell Ponds

[Charlie Chase]

While banding at Chatfield this spring we played with Merlin quite a bit
since we had to stay out in the net lanes monitoring for a
misbehaving Bobcat.  Merlin often mistook Yellow Warbler for Redstart.  It
did get the Redstarts correct when they called.   There are several Yellow
Warblers at Lowell Ponds.  Just a thought.

Re: [cobirds] Re: Avocet hybrid - what's the mix? Broomfield & Boulder Counties

[Charlie Chase]

The rough and ruffled look of the feathers on the belly and sides as
portrayed in these pictures suggest damaged feathers.  It is very similar
to the oiled birds I have handled in the past.   Just a thought.

Re: [cobirds] Bushtit question

[Charlie Chase]

Great photo Willem

I have a similar little "gang" here in Denver.  Two of them have distinct
markings so I can discern them from the rest.  The stacking just seems to
be who hits the branch first and facing direction seems to be really
variable.  Similarly when the gang hits my suet feeder, there doesn't seem
to be any pecking order except one who seems to get pushed around by the
others.  Normally they share the feeder with no squabbling. There are six
different holes in a hanging log and they cover them all.

Cheers

Re: [cobirds] A report from Bent and Otero Counties Jan 5

[Charlie Chase]

Thanks for sharing and for motivating me to make a trip south.  Our CBC
segment of Denver Urban Count at Rocky Mt Arsenal yesterday encountered
almost no water at all and what little was there was frozen except one warm
feeder ditch.  That ditch harbored several snipe and Virginia Rail out
walking around in plain sight (they didn't get the rail memo of "heard but
not seen".  Our day was also a "raptor" day with all possible species
except a Prairie Falcon.  A magnificent male Prairie Merlin with that
amazing blue back and head gave us a marvelous show in perfect light
conditions.   With few to no water birds, our count was substantially below
100 and ended when the wall of the arctic front hit us with snow and high
winds around 2:30.

Cheers

Re: [cobirds] Denver Urban CBC - ducks in Denver

[Charlie Chase]

Hey Hugh

Look to the area of the river with all the ducks and see if there is warm
water/or other fluids entering just above that point.  There are numerous
stormwater inflows into the Platte along that stretch.  I'll do more
research and see what i can find.
You see that in dramatic fashion at the Denver WasteWater Treatment plant
near 64th and York.
That said, as part of our count today, the Arsenal is mostly bone dry and
or was frozen today except a couple of the creeks.  We found Common Snipe
and Virginia's Rails in the ditch just west of Lower Derby as we have the
last few years. A lone really cold Great Blue Heron flew into the marsh as
we were leaving.

Cheers

Charlie

Re: [cobirds] Two late nestings at Littleton, Arapahoe Co

[Charlie Chase]

Setting up for banding at Barr Lake this morning.  Greeted at the parking
lot by a just fledged family of Western Wood-Pewee.  Two young, still not
fully feathered but fledged balls of wild looking feathers were yelling
constantly for their parents' attention.I couldn't tell if they were
yelling for food or just the chaos and excitement of first flights.

Re: [cobirds] Pelican behavior

Pretty typical group feeding behavior DuWayne.   See link below for a video

Re: [cobirds] Changing Common Names of birds; example, Steller’s Jay

[Charlie Chase]

I suspect it was due to the fact that the type specimens that Townsend
described in 1837 were from Fremont County, Wyoming.  This is a high plains
county at the base of the Wind River and Absarokas Mountain Ranges.You
can still find "mountain" mountain plover's at 1 feet in South Park and
slightly lower in the San Luis Valley.

Re: [cobirds] Why Female Red-winged Blackbirds only?

[Charlie Chase]

All males here as well,  both along the South Platte in Denver and on the
Barr Lake CBC.  Definitely a mix of young and adult plumaged birds.  And
try as I might none of them could be converted to Rusty's.

Re: [cobirds] Barr Lake Sunday

Over the last 10 years the Barr Lake CBC has between 124-424 Western

The Denver Urban count has between 1-72 with an average of 41 and many of
those from Rocky Mt. Arsenal.

Re: [cobirds] American Dipper at Clear Creek and Lowell, Adams County

[Charlie Chase]

Park on the East side of Lowell in the parking lot south of Clear Creek
that feeds the bike route.  The area where the bird is often found is along
the creek from  lowell east to the several overpasses about 100 meters to
the East.

Re: [cobirds] Rock Wrens (?) at Rocky Mtn. Arsenal

[Charlie Chase]

Not sure about the black and white bands you describe but everything else
sounds pretty typical for Rock Wrens in general and the Rock Wrens I have
been seeing at the Arsenal and Barr Lake recently.  We banded one a few
days ago at Barr Lake that was working its way through downed cottonwood
brush on the lake bottom, far far from a rock.  Last week I had a Rock Wren
working the road edge near Lake Ladore and another prowling cottonwood bark
on a trunk at the Arsenal.  They are moving through the area and showing up
in lots of interesting places.  And yesterday, one was in my neighborhood
in Denver digging bugs out of concrete cracks in the sidewalk. Great
fun out in Nature!!

[cobirds] Barr Lake on Saturday- Dunlin and others

[Charlie Chase]

While in the midst of preparing the banding station for operation in a 
week, I had time to wander around a bit along the south shore.   An adult 
mostly breeding plumage Dunlin was in the SE bay at the end of the dam 
along with several Bairds Sandpipers, a Spotted and about 60 Killdeer 
feeding in a loose group.  Many hundreds of Pelican's were scattered over 
the lake along with a group of about 1000 Cormorants in the middle. Small 
groups of Bairds were scattered along along the south shore as well as a 
couple of Stilt Sandpiper, a Semipalmated Plover, and a Least.  In the SW 
cove, the typical group of pelicans and gulls resided mostly California and 
some Ring-billed and a handful of Franklins.  A larger Franklins flock was 
out over the NW cove, and several hundred Western Grebes were spread over 
the western half of the Reservoir. No serious count attempted.  Several 
highlights along the trail from the visitor center to the banding station 
include a calling Eastern Screech Owl in a cottonwood between the visitor 
center and the trailhead when I first arrived.  An immature Yellow-bellied 
Sapsucker put on quite a show trying to figure out how to forage on 
Cottonwood bark.  Most songbirds were the usual residents that have been 
there all summer including many pewees, chickadees, kingbirds galore 
(eastern and western), house wrens, WB Nuthatches and many yellow warbler 
families.   Nice to be clearing net lanes with gangs of Chickadees and 
Yellow Warblers all around and the vireo singing overhead.

Re: [cobirds] kayaking and birding

[Charlie Chase]

Hey Chris   While there a number of good reservoirs for Kayaking around us,
I would also say try out the rivers and streams.  Several sections of the
South Platte are great for birding as well as Clear Creek in Denver.  The
St. Vrain from Lyons flowing east to Longmont goes through some wonderful
riparian habitat.  We often do car drop-offs and paddle several miles or
paddle back to the take out if the current is reasonable which it certainly
is most of the year here.

There was a chat working the streambed above Chautauqua giving that same

Re: [cobirds] Re: Red-headed Woodpecker still @ Heron Pond (Denver Co)

Another and easier access point is to turn east on 51st from Washington and 
go to the end of the road which is at the south end of the park.  There is 
a trail from the parking area that follows the creek to Heron Pond or you 
can easily access the South Platte from there.  And often a great taco 
truck at the intersection of 51st and Washington.  Awesome Tacos al Vapor.

[cobirds] Re: Red-headed Woodpecker still @ Heron Pond (Denver Co)

[Charlie Chase]

Missed on the Red-headed this morning but a number of other interesting 
sightings including quite a few more birders than i am used to seeing at 
Heron Pond.  The Swainson's were busy courtship talking, had a stellar view 
of a Cedar Waxwing on top of a cottonwood, an adult female Red-naped 
Sapsucker flew in from a cottonwood on the north side of the pond into the 
thicket where the stream enters the pond.  A Least Flycatcher was actively 
feeding and calling by the armory parking lot and the duck statues.  A Blue 
Grosbeak was singing in one of the single trees on the SE side of the 
armory then flew to the river where it disrupted a Cordilleran Flycatcher 
hawking gnats over the willows. Numerous Yellow Warblers and very many 
nesting grackles and blackbirds.   Nice morning at an under used and 
appreciated unnatural Natural Area.

[cobirds] Re: Gulls flying over Sedalia CO?

[Charlie Chase]

They may also be some of the flocks of California Gulls pouring into the 
breeding colonies at Antero Res, Walden Res, Riverside Reservoir and points 
north.  This 3 day window is when i would see early breeders start arriving 
and setting up territories.   That said, Franklin's are also moving through 
so good likelihood as well.

There was a distribution shortage that resulted in house-bound birders
