Re: [cobirds] Re: Yard list questions: How many of CO's 520 species have been seen (or heard) from a yard?
Thomas Great thread! Thanks for starting it. So fun to read about the birds seen from everyone’s yards. No new species for the list, but here are my highlights. How long: 8 years Style: At least one eBird list everyday we are home. Number: 100 species Rarest: Lewis’s Woodpecker, Spotted Sandpiper in creek, Cassin’s Kingbird, Rose-breasted Grosbeak Memorable: Bohemian Waxwings. After seeing them in several locations around the metro area the first of last year, they finally made it to our yard. I had six sightings from the yard between January 27, 2023 and February 7, 2023. The largest count was around 250. On a walk at the end of the block I had a yard with over 800. Like Duane, I have had fun birds while shoveling the snow. Sandhill Cranes, Snow Geese and Peregrine Falcon flyovers. Location: Our Highlands Ranch home’s back deck faces a riparian open space with a small creek. 5820’ Gregg Goodrich Highlands Ranch in Douglas County On Saturday, March 16, 2024 at 10:17:47 AM UTC-6 Diana Beatty wrote: > 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.

[cobirds] Add Weather & Recordings to eBird Checklists
COBirders You can easily add the weather to your eBird checklist. Copy your eBird checklist ID which is in the upper left corner of your checklist and then paste it into the RainCrow weather link below. https://raincrow.app/ Hit the “Get Weather” button and then hit the “Copy to clipboard” on the RainCrow site. Now, paste the info into the comments field on your checklist. Here is a sample on my list today of how it looks. https://ebird.org/checklist/S164834628 Using the time and date of your checklist, RainCrow will give you the beginning and ending temperature, wind, wind direction, cloud cover and humidity. A really nice way to enhance your checklist. Another way to improve your checklist is to add bird song recordings. Cornell’s Merlin bird sound ID app uses our recordings to learn the bird songs. The more recordings we add to our checklists the better the app gets. I recently received an email from The Macaulay Library team. The email said they have used 52 of my bird recordings to help train Merlin to better ID bird sounds. You too can help. Have fun adding weather and bird sound recordings to your checklists. https://support.ebird.org/en/support/solutions/articles/48001064341-audio-preparation-and-upload-guidelines Gregg Goodrich Highlands Ranch CO -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwing eBird data Denver Metro Area
I downloaded and compiled all the eBird accepted Bohemian Waxwing checklists for the Denver Metro area (Denver, Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, Jefferson, Broomfield). Hugh Kingery suggested a definition of an irruption to be greater than 4 birds on a checklist and to cover at least a period of 2 weeks. I sorted it into date order for these combined 6 counties. After dropping all checklists with less than 5 birds or an X in the count, I was left with 215 checklists with BOWAs in the Metro area over a 75 year period. Hugh had BOWAs back in 1948 close to the zoo. eBird was started by Cornell in 2002. Not many birders used it at that time but it is now widely used. Many birders have entered their historical records which is such valuable information. Many thanks to all the reviewers that really make this a trusted source of data. And thanks to all the birders that are now submitting checklists, we really have a great resource of birding data. David Suddjian was the first to see our current amazing irruption on 12/23/2022 in Ken Caryl. He confirmed the 20 flyovers by the "tight formation, size and calls". And it is possible we will continue to see this current irruption even into April. We have to go back *14 years* to get to the closest previous irruption for the metro area. It was in the winter of 2007-2008. It began on 12/14/2007 at Chatfield State Park and the last sighting that winter was at Columbine West on 4/13/2008. The high count that winter was 200 BOWA in Douglas county on 1/15/2008. Going back *2 more years* to the winter of 2004-2005 was a large irruption year as well. It began on 11/24/2004 in Broomfield and finished on 3/21/2005 in Douglas county. The high count for this period was 2000 (a conservative count they said) and was recorded in Adams county at "Federal & 120th by Norm, Ted, Dave and Marilyn" on 11/30/2004. You have to go back another *13 years* to the winter of 1990-1991 to get another irruption for the Denver Metro area. Beginning on 12/12/1990 at Chatfield and continuing to 4/5/1991 at Joe Roller's Yates home in Denver. He had 22 BOWA and commented on their "mean looking facies". There are 5 records for this irruption winter and the average count was around 40 BOWAs. The 1980's had 5 winters with BOWA irruptions. 79-80, 81-82, 84-85, 86-87 and 87-88. The largest count on a checklist for the 1980's was 1000 BOWA on 1/12/1988 in Greenwood Village by Hugh Kingery. He made this comment "Heritage Village, Littleton (6465 S. Niagara).No details. This month saw a lot of BOWAs in metro Denver.". There is only one year in the 1970's and one year in the 1960's that shows irruptions in the eBird historical data in the Metro area. 1976-1977 had a checklist with a high count of 1000 BOWA at Cherry Creek SP on 3/12/1977. And finally in the winter of 1968-1969 there was a report of 2000 BOWA at Bow-Mar on 12/20/1968 reported by Van Remsen with this comment "invasion year; careful estimate". As more historical data is entered and as more birders use eBird, the data will get better. I did download all of the Colorado BOWA data and it contained right at 1000 records. All of Colorado averages an irruption every 3 years. But the Denver Metro area, from 1948-2023, has had 11 irruptions in this 75 year span. So, we average an irruption about every 7 years. Enjoy this one while it lasts. Sure has been fun. Gregg Goodrich Highlands Ranch -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Highlands Ranch - Bohemian Waxwings (BOWA) - large flock
2 days in a row now with 4 different sightings of BOWAs, enjoying the crabapples in the neighborhoods around Gleneagles Village Pkwy and Cresthill Ln. I can relate to Ted Floyd's post about bounding out of the house yesterday morning to see the Bohemian Waxwings in my robe. Had to get photos and a recording and alert the birding neighbors to my YARD BIRD number 94! Yea! After finding them in a number of places in the south metro area in the past 2 weeks, they finally came to our Douglas county neighborhood. So fun to watch. They come in very compact flight groups. Then cram into the tops of trees cheek to cheek. We have Red-winged Blackbirds in the area, but the BOWAs form a much tighter group in the tops of the trees. Usually above a fruiting tree where they take turns in groups devouring the fruits. They wash it down with snow and the snow melts. They are not on a strict schedule. Yesterday at 8:00 for a few minutes and then gone. Back in the afternoon. This morning a smaller group at 7:30 and gone in 15, then came back at 8:30 for about 15 minutes. Doug Kibbe had a large group just east of here at around 11:00. Maybe they are moving a little more south now and Brandon will get a nice invasion in Pueblo. The new storm may help. It's a wonder there are so many sightings this year, but a wanderer must wander to give more folks a change to view.

Re: [cobirds] El Paso county --- possible WESTERN GULL
Looking at Sibley I see the 2nd Winter Slaty-backed Gull has pinkish legs and is the same length and wingspan. But the Slaty-backed is bulkier and has a darker back and more streaking on the neck and belly. The very white neck, belly and under tail all look good for Western Gull.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings - Denver Wellshire Golf Course
We tried for the Bohemian Waxings this morning but no luck at the Mamie Eisenhower Park. Then driving by the Wellshire Golf Course we noticed a large flock on the SW side of the course from Hampden. We parked on the NW side of the course in the residential area. This flock is likely the same one from just east of the Mamie Eisenhower Park. I got a photo of the flock in flight. Printed the photo. Blocked it into 70 blocks. Counted the birds in each block. 823! My photo of my block count is on the list. I looked at a lot of the birds in the trees before they flew and could find only one Cedar Waxwing. My first thought was 400-500. But wanted to find out exactly how many. Was way to conservative on my initial estimate. Wonder if all these waxwings will stick with this storm coming in. Here is my list. No photographer photos, but group photos in trees, on the snow and in flight. https://ebird.org/checklist/S126390528 Gregg Goodrich Highlands Ranch -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Re: A measure of the increase in eBirding in Colorado
David Stunning graphs documenting the amazing increase in number of checklists on eBird. Thanks for doing this interesting analysis. I will take a guess at the bigger increase in checklists in 2014. Cornell released the eBird mobile app in June of 2014. Before that time their were some birders that used BirdLog to log birds on their smart phones. Cornell took over BirdLog and converted it to eBird mobile and that really ushered in the use of smart phones to enter bird lists in the field as they birded. Here is a link to the first announcement of eBird mobile. https://ebird.org/news/ebird_mobile_ios1/ Gregg Goodrich Highlands Ranch On Friday, November 18, 2022 at 11:36:17 AM UTC-7 dsud...@gmail.com wrote: > CoBirders, > > It is obvious that there has been a dramatic increase in the number of > birders in Colorado over the last 15 years (and longer), and with that came > a great increase in the use of eBird.

[cobirds] Re: Mississippi Kites in Denver’s Clayton neighborhood
I got photos and a recording of the juvenile Mississippi Kite being fed by an adult at 33rd and Clayton today 9/5/21. One food item was a cicada but not sure of the other bug. I noticed that the adult would not give the juvenile the bug until it flew to another tree on one occasion. The call of the juvenile sounds very much like other call recordings of Mississippi Kite on ebird but not like the juvenile call on ebird.

[cobirds] Douglas County - Ravens nesting at Target
Intrigued by the breeding birds Ted Floyd found around his local Walmart, I surveyed our local Target. Hiding in plane sight above the entrance were a pair of Common Ravens. Got video, photos and recordings. Wonder how many of the big box stores have nesting Ravens. Here is my eBird list with the photos, recordings and video. https://ebird.org/checklist/S84685043 I have thought that eBird didn’t want photos of nests, eggs, feathers or tracks of birds. But that is not entirely true. If you see a bird on a nest and it flys off before you can get a photo, you can still submit a photo of the nest, since you know the nest is associated with the bird. Here is the wording on the eBird help and the link to it. So, I included photos of the nest on the list above. eBird is designed for observations of wild, living birds. To ensure we collect the highest quality data on when and where birds occur, we encourage you to only upload non-bird photos (e.g., photos of nests, eggs, feathers, etc.) when you also observed the birds themselves. https://support.ebird.org/en/support/solutions/articles/48000960529-ebird-media-upload-faq#anchornesteggs Check out your local stores for breeding activity.

Re: [cobirds] Re: Northern Parula in December
Thanks to Dave, Bryan, Rob and Jared for their excellent insight on these Neo-tropical migrants ability to survive these cold temps. 5 of us were able to view and photograph the Pine Warbler and the Northern Parula this morning Thursday, December 3, 2020. Both of these warblers were over the beaver dam in the deadfall, so fairly close, low and in good light. There was also an American Pipit on the beaver mound. Joey certainly found a great spot. Not all bird sightings are in eBird, but it is still a good resource. If you would like to view birds logged on eBird for a certain month, here are the steps. At eBird.org click on the Explore menu. Enter the species you are interested in, go down to the range map and in the upper right of the map, select the Large Map to bring up a full screen map. Select the Show Points Sooner button on the right and then enter a Location in the upper right like Denver, CO from the drop down lists. You can click on any of the tear drops to see all sightings for that location. Narrow the search by selecting a date range from the menu. I selected Dec-Dec for all years to see all eBird records for the Northern Parula. Give it a try.

There are no previous December eBird records of Northern Parula in the Denver/Fort Collins area until today December 1st, 2020. The Chatfield bird was seen and photographed today.

Re: [cobirds] Joe Roller sad news
We have lost a towering figure in Colorado birding. Joe was a mentor and teacher in my eyes. I remember Joe saying, "If you want to really learn something, teach it. And to become an expert, teach the teachers." I have found this to be true in my life. I learn something so much better when I help others learn it as well. The moral, share your knowledge and it will improve your understanding of the subject and help others as well. Joe will be greatly missed.

Roger was also a top county lister with at least 125 species in each of Colorado's 64 counties. We traveled to Cuba with Roger and Brenda and I remember his keen sighting got us the Cuban Black Hawk which we had just about given up on.

Fw: [cobirds] Robert A. Spencer, March 31, 1924 - May 11, 2020
Beautiful morning 5/14 at Chatfield upstream from Kingfisher bridge on the Douglas County side. Bob Spencer would have loved all the new bird arrivals sights and sounds and a good concrete walk way for his chariot. I found the Chestnut-sided Warbler about 250 yards up the dirt trail from where the concrete trail ends. Just after a little pond on the right and then up a side trail that makes a hard left up a hill. Myron Gerhard reported it yesterday. Yellow-breasted Chats are singing everywhere. There was a Sage Thrasher that could be heard from the parking lot. And as Bob might say, the least of these would certainly not be the Least Flycatchers vigorously singing their che-Beck che-Beck. I got some photos and recordings on my eBird list below. https://ebird.org/checklist/S69038460 Gregg Goodrich Highlands Ranch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Fun with local eBird Hotspots
An eBird “Hotspot” is a public birding location that allows birders to enter data into the same shared location. Then eBird compiles the data and gives nice summaries of total species, recent visits, top birders, first and last seen on each species, high counts, printable checklists and illustrated checklists as well as directions to get to the hotspot. To find hotspots in your county, go to eBird.org, go to the Explore menu, and then go to Explore Hotspots. You will notice a color graph in the lower right of this screen. The colors go from pale gray (0-15) to hot red (600+) species seen at a hotspot. Type your county in the location field in the upper right corner (hit the ... if using a smart phone). Tap on the hotspots in your county to “View Details” on the hotspot. Consider trying to tip the hotspot to the next color by getting enough new species to bump it up to the next color level. Or consider trying to become the top birder in that hotspot. Here is our checklist from this morning on our local hotspot. I got a video of the Spotted Towhee singing. Pull the checklist up and then click on the Dad Clark Park location and it will bring up the hotspot details. https://ebird.org/checklist/S66772717 Notice that we are now the top birders in this little hotspot after just 2 visits. Just another way to have fun birding local. Gregg Goodrich Highlands Ranch, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Home video Magpie nest building
I have added a video of 2 Black-billed Magpies building a nest to my home eBird checklist this morning. Cornell is testing video on checklists, so not everyone has this capability yet. I also got audio recordings of Blue Jays and Spotted Towhees on the list. It is a great time now to do audio recordings because there is not as much miscellaneous noise ie... traffic, airplanes, schools and people that can overlay a good recording. Also, you can add breeding status codes to a species on your list. And photos always enrich an eBird checklist. Here is a link to my checklist from this morning. The audio recording and photos were done from my deck and the video was done on my phone through a spotting scope in the house and hand held. https://ebird.org/checklist/S66411579 Birding from home or your local patch can be fun when you really look at behavior.

[cobirds] Yellow-billed Loon - Denver Travels
The juvenile Yellow-billed Loon (YBLO) continues today 2/1 at Chatfield. Our largest loon and very rare in the lower 48. It migrated from the High Arctic and missed the lower Alaska coast where most of them go for the winter. There is only one other YBLO currently (last 30 days), according to eBird, being reported in the lower 48. It has been reported at Stone Lagoon on the northern California coast the last 2 weeks. Our YBLO has been in the Denver area almost 3 months. It was first reported by Ben Sampson at Cherry Creek Reservoir on 11/8. It stayed at Cheery Creek until last reported there on 11/28. The YBLO liked to hang out with a Common Loon at Cherry Creek. On 12/1 Steve Mlodinow reported a juvenile YBLO at Aurora Reservoir. It continued to be reported until 1/16 at this location. On 1/7 Rick Olson reported a Common Loon associating with the YBLO that had a fishing lure and line in its mouth. I also saw this Common Loon with the fishing gear. On 1/20 the DFO Field Trip that I led to Chatfield reported a juvenile YBLO from the Handicapped Fisherman Platform and later seen from the North Boat Ramp. It was hanging out with a Common Loon. Rob Raker noticed and photographed the Common Loon with fishing gear in its mouth at Chatfield the next day. Probably the same Common Loon from Aurora Reservoir. So our Denver YBLO traveled from Cherry Creek to Aurora Reservoir and now is at Chatfield. Where will it go next? Be on the look out. Last year we had a YBLO at South Platte Reservoir for over a month. I know Brandon would be happy to welcome it to Pueblo Reservoir. Thanks to eBird and all the birders that now us it, detailed analysis of these kind of rare events can be studied with great detail. Thank you all for your reporting on eBird and COBirds.

[cobirds] Re: Loon’s with fishing gear in bills
Rob Great photos of the distressed loon. I called the ranges at Aurora Reservoir, ready to send your photos, and they said they were out in a boat and saw the problem loon diving and eating. So that is good news. Sounds like all the ranges are well aware of the loon and are keeping an eye on it. She said that as long as it was diving they would have no change of catching it. They did see it catch a fish. I could not find the Pacific Loon at Chatfield this morning. I would say about 50% of the lake is frozen now at Chatfield.

[cobirds] Re: Loon’s with fishing gear in bills
The Pacific Loon likes to fish along the dam and in the middle of the lake at Chatfield. Most days it can be seen from either the north boat ramp area, the handicap fisherman’s platform or the snadspit. It will be a great distance out, so a scope is required. Please report anything unusual in it’s behavior to the rangers. Gregg Goodrich Highlands Ranch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Loon’s with fishing gear in bills
We currently have 2 loons with fishing line, lures or hooks in their bills here in the Denver area. Chatfield has a Pacific Loon with fishing gear in it’s bill. Several birders have notified the park office and they said that they couldn’t get a boat out to do a rescue because of the ice at the boat ramps. Even if they could, catching it would be a challenge. Aurora Reservoir has a Common Loon with fishing gear in it’s bill as well. I notified the park ranger supervisor this morning. He said as long as it was diving and healthy it would be hard to catch. He said if it’s health starts to fail, then they might be able to catch it. So, keep an eye on these birds and if they start to look unhealthy we can notify the rangers.

[cobirds] Pygmy-Owl & Red Crossbills Douglas County
Today 1/7/2020 we had a Northern Pygmy-Owl at Hwy 67 and Rampart Range road. It was down trail #787 on the SE corner of the parking lot. The eBird list below has a recording of the Red Crossbills that were agitated by the Owl, plus photos of each. This lot is good for crossbills and other mountain species. We were lucky descending the trail that the Red Crossbills and Pygmy Nuthatches were very disturbed by the Northern Pygmy-Owl, thus giving away it’s location. Hear the very fast pace of the Red Crossbill (type 2) calls on the recording in the list. This parking lot is good in the winter because very few ATV’s use it at this time of year. Forget it in the summer. Way to much noise from the machines. https://ebird.org/checklist/S63135083 Thanks Gregg Goodrich Highlands Ranch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] EBird mobile app location bug
COBirders If you subscribe to the eBird rare bird alerts, you will notice a report from Mesa county again this morning the 22nd near Fruita from a birder in Michigan. She reports a Red-bellied Woodpecker, Northern Cardinal and Tufted Titmouse which are all rare in Mesa county but not in Michigan. I can see from her profile that all her recent checklists are in Michigan. Bill Kaempfer recently saw a location bug in the mobile app as well. So, looks like a eBird mobile app bug on locations. So, check your locations carefully if you use the mobile app in the field. Here again, no need to dash off to Mesa county for that Red-bellied Woodpecker or Northern Cardinal. They won’t be there.

[cobirds] White-tailed Tropicbird in Fruita, unfortunately NO
A White-tailed Tropicbird was reported on eBird yesterday in Fruita. If only it were true. Here is the bird list. I got an eBird alert of this rare bird for this location in Fruita. https://ebird.org/checklist/S62487318 By clicking on the highlighted name of the person reporting the bird in the checklist you can see their profile. https://ebird.org/profile/ODAwMTgz/US As you can see Curtis is birding in Hawaii December 17-21st today. So it would be pretty hard for him to see a bird in Fruita. He obviously picked up the wrong location for his checklist. You can see his 10 most recent checklists on the right hand side of the screen. So no need to drive crazy to the western slope. You would need to get to Hawaii to see this bird.

[cobirds] Plum Creek Delta at Chatfield - Long-billed Dowitcher/Greater White-fronted Goose
The 2 Long-billed Dowitchers continue in the Plum Creek Delta at Chatfield this morning 11/19. There was a Wilson’s Snipe with them that made for a nice comparison. Almost the same size with the same sewing machine feeding type, but the LBDO has longer legs and the WISN showed the long light colored strips on a dark back. I then noticed some orange legs on one of the hundreds of white faced geese. Greater White-fronted Goose was a Douglas county bird for me. It was very near where the LBDO and WISN were feeding on the mud flats. EBird does not show a later staying LBDO for Chatfield. Wonder if they will stay for the CBC or get pushed out by the moisture that is coming in the next 2 days?

[cobirds] Surf and Black Scoters-Arapahoe Cnty-S. Platte Res.
The Surf and Black Scoters continue this morning in the middle of the South Platte Reservoir. They stayed very close to each other and dove together most of the time. The Surf is a juvenile I guess since it has a white belly and Sibley says all juvenile Scoters have white bellies. The Black is either a juvenile or female because of the big white patch on the face. Nice to have all 3 Scoters in this part of town. Gregg Goodrich Highlands Ranch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] DFO Monthly Program - 9/23
Monday, September 23 *There’s No Sex Like Insects* Mike Weissmann, PhD DFO monthly programs are held at the Unity Spiritual Center of Denver, 3021 S. University Blvd, Denver. Programs begin at 7 PM. Colorado entomologist Mike Weissmann will take our DFO audience on an entertaining look at the wild, wondrous, and even wacky world of "bug sex” at the September DFO monthly program. It’s a peek into the fascinating and often bizarre mating and reproductive practices of insects and their relatives. Come learn that plants with yellow flowers are the “singles' bar” for soldier beetles . . . and that insects attract mates with everything from flashing lights (lightning bugs), colors and patterns (butterflies), pheromones, sounds and claws. Mike will explore and explain the varied methods of insect mating and reproduction, he will also bring some special guests – live arthropods. Weissmann is chief entomologist for Vector Disease Control International. His current research focuses on Colorado mosquitoes and the West Nile Virus they can carry. He also presents insect-related educational programs to audiences of all ages, including the award- winning “Dr. Mike’s Bag of Bugs.” He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in biology at the University of Colorado Boulder and his doctorate in entomology from Colorado State University, where he continues to serve as an affiliate faculty member. He also is an adjunct curator at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History and a department associate in the entomology collection at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Weissmann has published a variety of technical articles about insect taxonomy, biology, and behavior and is co-author of popular guides to insects in regional parks and monuments.

[cobirds] Re: Piping & Semipalmated Plover, Douglas County
Both birds are still on the eastern end of the plum creek delta this evening. I was there close to an hour and they primarily stayed in the area where the American White Pelicans were staying. They flew together several times but stayed in the general eastern side of the delta. It is very muddy if you go along the shore. Not sure how you would get there through the trees. My eBird list said 0.67 miles from the nearest parking space. Thanks Joey for posting this very good rare bird for Chatfield. They were both still there at 5:30 PM today 8/24/19.
