Re: [cobirds] Goldfinch seed feeding behavior
I've noticed the same thing with them completely refusing thistle starting at about the same time (3-4 years ago) after many years of devouring thistle with the same feeder set up with sunflower seed nearby. Now they are only eating sunflower no matter how many times I put out fresh thistleabout to give up on it.

Re: [cobirds] Birding, eBird and eBird review(ers)
If you want to talk about ebird and "social media," it is ironic and truly notable how this entire discussion has taken a disappointing and sad "social media" turn. Susan raised a legitimate issue in a respectful way in an appropriate forum, simply asking if more help was needed. Yet the responses she got to her post were pretty harsh. Calling out new birders and rolling out "back in the day" and the need for validation of birder abilities; accusations of birding not for fun, but confirmation and competitiveness; detailing one's best practices and how others just don't live up; calling for the elimination of useful aspects of ebird that nearly all of us use, including real time reports that allow many more folks to see rarities. If you are really interested in having a discussion about social media, maybe look in the mirror just a bit at your own reaction to her post. I know Susan well. She is certainly not the stereotype of the competitive birder of which you speak, and she certainly did not deserve this kind of reaction for simply raising this issue. Talk about social--or rather unsocial--media!! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!!

[cobirds] Worm-Eating Warbler Lake Hasty Campground Bent County
We just had a Worm-Eating Warbler at Lake Hasty Campground. It was primarily feeding in a clump of dead leaves in a tree in campsite 75.

[cobirds] Re: Advice on how to bird the Ward area
Hi Mike, This COBirds post from last winter should help: https://groups.google.com/g/cobirds/c/h1Jj9nM06zE/m/SNgQj-qWHQAJ Click on the link to Todd Deininger's map (Thanks Todd!!!). Ward can sometimes be hit or miss, but the lower Ward feeders will often have Pine Grosbeaks and some Rosy's. As is often the case with winter feeders in the mountains, the feeders are often typically productive during and after foul weather (snow). As always be respectful of both the birds' and the homeowners' rights. Watch from a distance, avoid pointing binoculars toward house windows, keep groups small, don't be loud, park safely and legally, etc. so that birding access continues to be allowed. Most often in Ward, its better to park where its safe and walk to the feeders. John Malenich, Boulder, CO On Monday, January 4, 2021 at 3:33:37 PM UTC-7 miked...@gmail.com wrote: > Hey, gang!

On its website, the Colorado State Land Board (https://slb.colorado.gov/) (who leases Chico) has posted its 2026 Strategic Plan, which guides its decision-making: It can be found here for those interested: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qiMWtEmDEH9_cKTP21FdlIIGk7t5jW7a/view. It details the Board's "Four Bold Goals:" "Goal 1: Financial Trusteeship: Protect and enhance the long-term economic value of the whole trust." "Goal 2: Real Property Stewardship: Protect and enhance the long-term economic value of the trust's physical assets: land, water, commercial real estate and mineral estate." "Goal 3: Organizational Excellence: Cultivate prudent decision making and entrepreneurial business practices." "Goal 4: Communications & Outreach: Broadcast what the agency does and its positive impact on Colorado." I thought this might be useful for those submitting comments on Chico.

[cobirds] Re: Lucy Warbler, Mesa Count questions
The pair of Lucy's at Gatewood Cottonwoods were still present yesterday. >From 141 turn northwest on 4 1/10 Rd. Go 1 mile to an access road on the right with a small brown marker (stake) noting allowed types of vehicles. This is Gateway Cottonwoods. The Lucy's were primarily seen in a tree that overhangs this access road just a very short ways down this road fairly close to a wooden tee-pee made out of branches that you can't miss and before the road comes to what looks like an open area used for parking/camping that has a rock firepit. The male was singing frequently, making him easy to locate. As Joe rightly noted, these birds are breeding here, out of their normal range, and this is a first Mesa County record of breeding Lucy's, so please avoid playing songs or calls, pishing, or anything else that would cause disturbance to their breeding.

[cobirds] Re: Interesting Nor. Flicker nest site, Littleton JeffCo
A few springs ago, we noticed flickers using a hole in a similar kind of facade molding near the roof of a restaurant building in downtown Boulder. In that situation, based on the fairly rough appearance of the hole opening and a location that would not be in the right spot to be any kind of drain, it seemed like the flickers had excavated it themselves and from our subsequent observations they appeared to nest there. The molding seemed to be of a fairly soft plaster/stucco-like material that likely allowed them to excavate it. The building maintenance did not patch the whole for at least another year, but there was no sign of nesting in the hole that we observed the following spring.

[cobirds] Re: Centennial SWA. Weld County
It seems to me that the interests of the birding community are not being taken very much into consideration in any serious fashion by Colo. Parks & Wildlife and that has been a longstanding problem. This is not just specific to this issue, this SWA, or the new requirement mandating all users to have a fishing/hunting license to use SWAs, but really with regard to a whole host of issues for both SWAs and State Parks from usage policies to land and water management policies, etc. I am well aware that--at least in the past--the birding community was at a disadvantage from the standpoint that CPW saw hunters and fisherman as their primary revenue source, particularly for SWAs, but the new rules change that equation. Perhaps what could be very effective here is greater action by our State's various birding organizations like Denver Audubon, DFO, CFO, etc. I think one of the prime reasons hunting and fishing groups get policies in line with what they want from CPW is their groups are extremely active and vocal in pushing their agenda. This is not to say individuals should not speak out themselves on these issues (they should), but larger groups who can speak for many do often carry more weight. Larger groups can also organize campaigns to get more individuals (their members) to speak out on crucial issues, get the word out to members and keep in contact with CPW officials on new policies. Perhaps groups like Denver Audubon, CFO and DFO might consider taking a more active and vocal role in proactively pushing for pro-birding policies with CPW and other decision makers. It's often much easier to proactively impact these policies before they are put into place instead of trying to react to and undo a new policy that we find problematic.
