[cobirds] Sandhill Cranes

[Diane Roberts]

I camped at Jumbo Reservoir, Logan County. Super smooth lake, lovely night. 
Loved hearing, in the dark,  Canada Geese, Great Horned Owls & staggered groups 
of Sandhill Cranes.

[cobirds] Insect question

[Diane Roberts]

I observed the Bay-breasted Warbler at beautiful Rock Ledge Ranch in El Paso 
County. 

Dave Leatherman may know what insect this warbler was picking off an Elm tree. 
Curious.

[cobirds] Eared Grebes nesting at Walden & Araphoe NWR

[Diane Roberts]

Hello All,

Interesting, I observed EAGR on nests & young on their backs 2 weeks
ago.Now they appear to be are all adult. Another lake they are building &
on nests. Wondered why such timing contrast. I doubt they are having nests
twice.

Appreciate information!

[cobirds] Cherry Creek State Park, Arapahoe County

[Diane Roberts]

Hello All,

I wanted to share a couple of my recent observations. CCSP one of the few
bodies of water with low water lately. There is alot exposed shoreline &
mud. I did sink up to my knee boots in the mud so be prepared.

The Pelican Point hotspot has been closed due to nesting species in the
small forest. The Park Rangers are watching supporting this with possible
ticket.

The waterfowl, gulls, ibis, terns (not many) & Pelicans have had the area
to themselves.  My observation seemed as tho these species were less
threatened and more relaxed while feeding. In the end, for the moment in
time that the area is closed, nature & birds are better off for it. Birders
are being patient inspire of incoming migrants.

Cobirders,

After expert reviews, consensus is Lesser Black-black Gull vs any potential.

[cobirds] Jefferson, CO

[Diane Roberts]

Hello,

I wanted to share a conversation I had with a super nice lady who lives at
the house south of Highway 285 in Jefferson, Co. Many of you know the
“feeder” house for Rosy-Finches. She was telling me she use to get
“thousands” of Rosy-Finches at her feeders. While we didn’t talk about
current numbers, from my experience, substantially lower.
She, also, commented on many fewer hummingbirds these last 2 years.

Side note: The cafe in Jefferson has tasty food made on the grill and made
to order burritos. Super friendly ladies working there.

Good birding y’all!

Hi Gary & Cobirds,

Rueter-Hess has portions open to the public now for hiking. There is, also, 
paddle boarding. Tim Ryan works with Parker Water, takes out scheduled birding

Hope this helps,

[cobirds] Tucker Gulch closure

[Diane Roberts]

Hello,

I stopped by Tucker Gulch, Golden, CO. There was a “crime scene” tape across 
the path. I inquired the reason & was told there were bears in the area & they 
are “trespassing”.  They don’t want anyone, man or beast harmed, so hoping they 
move out of the area on their own.

Re: [cobirds] Courtesy to a landowner

[Diane Roberts]

He is a really great guy at Stewart’s Pond, who leases the property. I have 
spoken to him a few times in a friendly conversation. I know others have as 
well. He allows birders to go into the cattle area, warning mother cows are 
protective of the calves.

Re: [cobirds] Chatfield Horse Stables Off Limits

[Diane Roberts]

Hello,

A couple thoughts in response to Cinnamon’s inquiry.

The stable leases the property from CPW so they have the right to monitor
access. It is a business and birders are scattered around like horseflies
when there is a bird around, possibly disruptive to the business.
Additionally, there is inherent liability with horses and horseback riding
so the owner does not want to incur any additional issues or liability.

This should be birders respecting no means no. It is simple really.

[cobirds] injured Pelicans at Lake Pueblo

[Diane Roberts]

Hello,

I don’t know if there is any assistance or curb suffering as this Pelican
seems low on weight & only able to fly short distances. Photo demonstrates
only black underwing.


The other Pelican has an injured leg/foot but gets can fly around far
better.

For what it’s worth.

Re: [cobirds] Joe Roller sad news

[Diane Roberts]

Nathan wrote of Joe reaching out to smooth the wary & engage the
non-birders. We were on a DFO field trip on the eastern prairie. There was
this fantastic hedge row, our group across the street. I don’t think Joe
ever meet a stranger. He sauntered across the road to a country older
couple and posed the question: “Have you ever seen a birder.” As he
schmoozed, they allowed us on their property to bird. Still tickles me to
this day 💕

[cobirds] Carolina Wren

[Diane Roberts]

I was looking for this bird off of Vine in Centennial in an easement area. I 
was approached by very friendly homeowners who said they wondered what all the 
big camera & Binos were doing behind their house, as they worried about crime. 
I showed them a picture of the bird to smooth things over and spoke about it. 

Homeowners said the easement is private property, even tho there was nothing 
posted.  They said the fella with the gate at the end of the easement owns the 
space. I told them I would spread the word & sorry to disturb.

[cobirds] West end of Marston Reservoir, Denver County

I noticed new “no trepressing” signs on the empty lot with the cattails on the 
northwest side of the lake. In addition, a Denver Police car was parked for 
about 20 minutes 2 blocks away up the street. He later drove by asking me what 
I was looking at. I kindly smiled & overloaded him with my checklist lol. Seems 
Denver Police are monitoring the Denver neighborhood in the middle of Jefferson

[cobirds] Yellow-billed Loon

[Diane Roberts]

Monday 2/26 I spotted the Yellow-billed Loon on the Douglas County side of 
Chatfield Reservoir.  Most likely the South Platte Park Reservoir Loon.  
Chatfield was frozen, at that time, on all but the viewing from the marina spit 
and marina area. Diane Roberts, Lone Tree, CO
