[cobirds] Trespassing at Box Elder Creek
I drove out to Box Elder Creek today to catch an Orchard Oriole. I was stopped by DIA patrol and was told this is was airport land and restricted. PLEASE! Do not go out there to bird. The guy who stopped me said that it will soon be patrolled by Homeland Security etc. due to it being restricted. I assured him I would get the word out. Thanks.

[cobirds] American Bittern
I can assure you, from the shade of red of my eyes, I could not find the American Bittern as of 1330 today. I looked for 2 hours. The winds were calm, so the cattails were still. The east side of the marsh is being dredged, and they are doing road construction on MLK Blvd. If anyone gets on it again, please post. I live a short distance from there.

[cobirds] Migrating Mountain Bluebirds
We were at the Lowry dog park this a.m. There is a large flock (at least 12) of Mountain Bluebirds feeding in the dog park and surrounding trees. I plan to return this afternoon and take photos.

[cobirds] Ani still in Sand Creek at 1130 a.m. Monday
To find the current location of the Ani, follow the gravel trail parallel to the RK building (large white building with red stripe. Do not cross the bridge. Follow the chain link fence about 100 yds to a lone cottonwood tree next to the fence. Look into Sand Creek at another small lone cottonwood amongst the willows. Follow the cottonwood trunk to the ground to a clump of brown grass debris. We heard the bird calling about 0930. It was very visible, preening and resting in this location. Will most likely remain there during the heat of the day. Many observers this a.m. Best to get there from Central Park Blvd and 35th, turn east on 35th to Xanthia. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Re: Ani still here
As of 1130 the Ani was still quite visible. Follow the gravel trail parallel to the white building with red stripe "RK". Along the chain link fence, there is a lone cottonwood tree about 100 yds down the trail. Looking into Sand Creek, there is a small cottonwood in Sand Creek. Look into the willows at the base of the cottonwood. The bird was calling earlier and preening. It seems to be settled in that spot for the heat of the day.

The injured male goose was finally picked up by a wildlife officer last night around 7 p.m. Just to let you know, if you find an injured bird any time after 4 or 5 p.m. you will most likely strike out finding any help. I called Greenwood Wildlife (closes at 4 p.m.) and Wild Bird (closes at 5 p.m. I was instructed to call the Colorado Highway Patrol dispatch and they contacted a wildlife agent. You can also call 311 and the will notify an officer. Also was told to take it to Alameda East Vet clinic to be euthanized. " Hop in the truck, injured male goose"!
