[cobirds] FYI - Sunday’s DFO field trip to CU South CANCELLED

[Laura Steadman]

Hi folks,

Just a quick notice that I have cancelled tomorrow’s DFO field trip to CU
South, due to the ongoing evacuation orders because of the NCAR wildfire. I
hope to reschedule it soon.

Stay safe and good birding,

[cobirds] Eastern Bluebirds are back! CU South, Boulder

[Laura Steadman]

Hi all,
Last year a flock of eastern bluebirds spent several months around CU
South. I have been looking in hopes they’d returned, and they have!!

Currently watching them by some pine trees on the upper trail SE of the
tennis courts (about in line with the south pond).

Good birding,
Laura Steadman

[cobirds] Cattle Egret, Lower Bluestem Trail, Boulder

[Laura Steadman]

Hi folks!

Was quite surprised to find a cattle egret on a hike against the flatirons
today on the Lower Bluestem trail in south Boulder. It was hanging out with
a herd of cattle at a water tank about a mile up the trail. The cows
weren’t sure what to make of it and didn’t seem too happy about it. They
kept chasing it — it would fly up briefly and land not too far away.

A quick look at EBird suggests the last November cattle egret sighting was
in 2012.

Checklist here
https://ebird.org/checklist/S98147495, beyond horrible photos from my phone
through my bins.

Good (weird?) birding,
Laura Steadman
Boulder

[cobirds] White-winged Scoters continue, Baseline Res — Boulder

[Laura Steadman]

The 4 scoters reported on ebird yesterday at Baseline Reservoir in Boulder
were still present this afternoon. Way out in the northeast/central area. I
scoped from Dry Creek and was glad I carried it in with me. Would probably
be visible from the north side of the reservoir, but probably not from the
west side.

Hi birders!

The Baltimore oriole previously reported on the west side of Pella Crossing

interest is a breeding plumage red-necked grebe in the pond just north of

[cobirds] Black tern, Walden ponds, boulder county

[Laura Steadman]

Currently watching a black tern foraging over the private pond that can be
viewed from the northwest area of Walden ponds (the pond with all the bee
boxes). Lots of swallows feeding on the pond too. Tern is bigger and has a
loping flight. Way cool!

[cobirds] Blackpoll Warbler - Tantra Lake - Boulder County

[Laura Steadman]

This evening we found a gorgeous Blackpoll Warbler in a big pine at the
southwest edge (near the basketball court, right by the apartment complex
office) of Tantra “Lake” at Tantra lake in south Boulder. There’s also
recently been a black-crowned night heron in the trees in the morning,
though it wasn’t around this evening.

Note: I’m not sure if this area is technically considered private property
of the complex or not... there are houses and condos in the neighborhood
too, so proceed with caution if you go looking!

Good birding,

[cobirds] Jackson Lake State Park, Morgan Co. - curlews and owls!

[Laura Steadman]

Hi all!

Got some outside time this weekend by camping at Jackson Lake. The lake is
pretty full of water. Lots of *pelicans*! Boat activity was heavy. Friday
night, we heard two *eastern screech owls* trilling and four *great-horned
owls* calling, all after midnight (north end of lakeside campground). Did
not hear the screech owls Saturday night.

The best treat was five *long-billed curlews* foraging in and near the
prairie dog colony to the north and west of the Fox Hills campground area.
One flew right over our car!

Also nice was a large flock of *snow geese*, a small flock of *sandhill
cranes*, and a couple of *Bonaparte’s gulls*.

Good birding,
Laura Steadman

The red-bellied woodpecker previously reported in Superior was still

but instead perched high in a cottonwood on the south bank of the creek.
Good view from the bridge.

Re: [cobirds] RFI: Pelican Point Nelson's Sparrow

[Laura Steadman]

Hi Eric! (sharing with cobirds for others who may have the same question, I
know I did when I headed down there)

You’ll want to park at the East Boat Ramp in Cherry Creek State Park. There
is a smaller upper lot with a vault toilet that is convenient. From there,
walk down to the shoreline and follow it to the inlet. Bird seems to favor
the grasses on the opposite side of the inlet, so bring your water shoes.
It’s fairly shallow but a bit mucky.

Hope that helps!

[cobirds] Tennessee Warbler and Am. Redstart, CU South, Boulder

[Laura Steadman]

Early this morning had a Tennessee Warbler (glad we got such good looks at
the one along Boulder Creek bike path yesterday!), an American Redstart,
and several more than usual Yellow Warblers at CU South (at the pond at
Bridgewalk).

I checked after work today and didn’t see them again, though there were
still quite a few yellow-rumors warblers hanging around.

Thanks, Bryan, for the push to get up and out on a chilly damp morning!

Good birding,

Re: [cobirds] Male BLACKPOLL WARBLER, Sombrero Marsh, Boulder

[Laura Steadman]

Blackpoll continues this morning at Sombrero, foraging along the north side
of the road. Lots of yellow-rumps, yellow warblers, and a couple of
phalaropes, too!

Thanks for reporting this one, it’s eluded me for too long!

[cobirds] COLORADO RARE BIRD REPORT FOR FRIDAY MAY 1, posted May 1 at 6am

The Colorado Rare Bird Report is an informational service.

Because of statewide coronavirus “Stay at Home” and “Safer at Home” orders
(depending on where you live), the purpose of this report is to keep
homebound readers abreast of rare bird sightings across the state during
spring migration. It does NOT endorse or encourage illegal travel to see or
"chase" rare birds beyond your own permitted area.



We urge readers to respect state and local restrictions on non-critical
travel and limits on outdoor activities that include birding. Please bird
ONLY at or close to home and ONLY with universally promoted safety
precautions, including “social distancing” and face coverings. Or, as Dave
Leatherman noted, “Be like a Cedar Waxwing . . . very compliant in wearing
their masks.”

___



Birders have been helpful by reporting updates to COBirds. Thanks!

CAPITAL LETTERS denote very rare species, as listed by the Colorado Bird
Records Committee at the CFO website.

(*) indicates new information on a species.

For more information on birds seen today, go to cobirds.org and scroll to
the bottom for “Recent eBird Sightings.”

___



Spring migration notes:

Shorebirds are passing through, with 23+ species reported to eBird
recently, including multiple Whimbrel sightings, large flocks of curlews
and godwits. It’s Caspian Tern time too. Reports of Gray Flycatchers and
Black Phoebes were widespread. Some Cassin’s Finches continue to be
reported, but fewer than last week. Hummingbirds are starting to show at
feeders.  Sparrows and longspurs continue to move through. Warblers are
arriving Migration really picked up yesterday, with both returning
Colorado breeders and “overshoots” from the southeast like Louisiana
Waterthrush, Yellow-throated and Hooded Warblers. Highly prized “Eastern”
warblers are flowing into SE Colorado, and soon we’ll find them farther
north. Exciting!

[cobirds] Yellow-headed blackbird, Stearn's Lake, Boulder County

[Laura Steadman]

On this morning's DFO trip to Stearn's Lake, we saw a male yellow-headed
blackbird with a large group of red-winged blackbirds. The flock was
initially in the trees by the house/pond across the road from Stearn's
Lake, and eventually flew to the southeast. It was a nice surprise for
January!

Also of note were two ferruginous hawks, a snow goose, and what I think was
a snow x cackling goose.

Good birding,
Laura Steadman

[cobirds] Sabine’s gulls, Valmont, Boulder County

[Laura Steadman]

Just counted at least 8 Sabine’s gulls from Legion Park (Valmont Overlook)
in Boulder. They were pretty much on the opposite side of the water, so a
scope was really useful.

We checked Baseline Reservoir in Boulder, which is also usually a good spot
for Sabine’s when they come through in the fall. A beach and waterskiing
party had the birds being quiet there.

[cobirds] Crow Valley Campground, Pawnee Grasslands — Weld

[Laura Steadman]

After an intense lightning storm and a bit of hail last night, there were
lots of new visitors at Crow Valley Campground near Briggsdale. Highlights
included *Magnolia Warbler, Macgillvrays warbler, lazuli bunting,
black-headed grosbeak, orchard oriole a*nd close to a dozen*
yellow-breasted chat. * All the regulars were still around, including
western kingbirds, bullocks orioles, brown thrashers, and swainsons
thrushes.

Yesterday there were a couple of female *American redstarts* hanging around
— I didn’t see them this morning.

[Laura Steadman]

The golden-crowned sparrow found yesterday at CU South was still around
this morning!


Seen feeding on the road with a group of song sparrows and juncos, past the
tennis court, near the base of the hill next to a small tree on the east
side of the road. This is a quick walk from the parking area, maybe a
quarter mile.


There were also some tree sparrows in the brush just past the tennis court
parking lot.

I'm glad so many of you were able to get out quickly, see the flycatcher

[cobirds] Mockingbird, Eagle trailhead, Boulder County

[Laura Steadman]

This morning along the Eagle Trail (west of Boulder Reservoir), about 600m

It was flying about and perching on agave stalks. Did not see where it went
to after that.

Happy birding,

[cobirds] Boulder creek black-throated grey continues

[Laura Steadman]

Was able to find the black-throated grey warbler previously reported along
the Boulder Creek bike path (CU East Campus area) this afternoon at about
5pm. It was hanging out with a group of yellow-rumped warblers. Also of
interest along the creek path were dippers, hermit thrushes, many chipping
sparrows, a Lincoln's sparrow and a green-tailed towhee.

For those looking for the black-throated grey, it was in an area to the
south of the path, near where there is a tree with pink flagging around the
trunk.

A big thanks to those who previously reported the black-throated grey! Such
a cool bird!

Happy birding,
Laura Steadman
Boulder

[cobirds] Say's Phoebe - Boulder, S of Superior

[Laura Steadman]

While doing our BCNA Wintering Raptor Survey route this morning, Melissa
Mezger and I say a Say's Phoebe on a telephone wire, on Mcaslin south of
Superior. It was near a barn on the west side of the road, calling like
crazy over the din of some starlings.

Happy Birding,

[cobirds] Pacific/Winter Wren, Dry Creek Open Space, Boulder County

[Laura Steadman]

Hi folks,
This afternoon at Dry Creek Open Space in Boulder County, I saw a winter or
pacific wren. It was hopping about on the edge of the creek. Short, stubby
tail, fine barring or speckling, quite a bit of rufous, concentrated near
the tail. At first I reported it in eBird as a winter wren, but after
looking at comparisons online, I'm not sure I paid enough attention to the
right things to make a confident call. Either way, it's a first for me!

I'm going to try to find it again in the morning and take my camera this
time. :)

Good Birding,
Laura Steadman

[cobirds] Terns, Boulder reservoir

[Laura Steadman]

This evening while paddleboarding on Boulder Reservoir, I saw two terns out
with the gulls on the floating docks. They didn't stay near for long, but
were noticeably smaller than the gulls and had black caps. Bills weren't
noticeably orange. As they flew away towards the northeast part of the
res, one stopped to hover and then dive in the water. Both were silent the
whole time.

Wish I had my binoculars out there (or was a faster paddler)!

[cobirds] Worm-eating Warbler continues, CU Campus, Boulder

[Laura Steadman]

The previously reported worm eating warbler was still hanging out just now
at about 4:00. It's maybe 50 yards east of where it was initially reported,
on the south side of a split in the trail. Seems to be hanging out with two
chickadees and two hermit thrushes. It's actively foraging on or near the
ground.

[cobirds] Great-tailed Grackle, Lower Church Lake, Jeffco

[Laura Steadman]

While scoping out the ducks and gulls at Lower Church Lake today, saw a
great-tailed grackle on the east side in the marsh grass. Good assortment
of ducks, too!

If you haven't checked out Lower Church Lake, I highly recommend it. It was
dry for a year or two, but is now filling back in with water and always has
something on it. It's on Old Wadsworth in almost-Broomfield.

Saw about 100 cranes flying south-southeast over the Boulder Humane Society

[cobirds] Caspian Tern - St. Vrain State Park, Weld

[Laura Steadman]

Watched a caspian tern diving for fish in the Pelican Pond of St Vrain
State Park for about 10 minutes today, at about 12:30. It then made its way
west and out of sight.

No luck on finding the little blue heron at the Firestone gravel pits, but
the heat waves coming off the water were pretty thick, making it difficult
to pick through the egrets on the spit with the cormorants.

[cobirds] Orange-crowned Warbler. Walden/Sawhill Ponds, Boulder Co

[Laura Steadman]

Early this morning at Walden and Sawhill Ponds, in addition to 42 other
species, I had great looks at an *orange-crowned warbler* feeding in a
flowering bush (I don't know what they're called, but they have white buds
all over them and smell nice). That was a FOS for me! Also present were
both *myrtle* and* Audubon's yellow-rumped warblers*. *House wrens* seem to
be back in force again this year! A lone *spotted sandpiper* was peeping
and bopping around in Cottonwood marsh, near the boardwalk area.

Good Birding!

As of 730 this morning both the black and eastern phoebes are fly catching

 All,

 I stopped at the 75th Street bridge over Boulder Creek at 9:15 this
 morning. The first bird I saw on the west side of the bridge was a Black
 Phoebe, and the second was an Eastern Phoebe, both searching for insects
 just above the creek.  Subsequently, I went to the Hwy 287 bridge and the
 109th Street pond and did not see a Black Phoebe there.  So, perhaps it is
 the same bird seen previously in the latter area that has moved a couple
 of miles upstream.

 Cheers,  Peter Gent.

[cobirds] Sombrero Marsh, Walden Ponds This Morning -- Boulder Co.

[Laura Steadman]

This morning at Sombrero Marsh, in addition to the usual suspects (coots,
red-winged blackbirds, yellow-headed blackbirds, gadwalls, barn swallows,
etc) were 4 Wilson's phalaropes, a flock of about 10 chipping sparrows, and
close to 30 violet-green swallows. Also present was a group of 10
 yellow-rumped warblers of both varieties.

At Cottonwood Marsh, 7 pelicans huddled on an island while 9 Wilson's
phalaropes skittered about. I didn't see much else of note in the pond. An
eastern kingbird (in the company of a western kingbird, for great
comparison) was hanging out by the parking lot. I didn't explore beyond
Cottonwood.

[cobirds] Boulder -- Summer Tanager, Nashville Warbler,et al and TOWNSEND'S WARBLER

[Laura Steadman]

This morning between 7 and 8:45 we were able to re-find the SUMMER TANAGER,
ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK, and NASHVILLE WARBLER in the same location as
previously described along the bike path. Numerous YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS,
both Audubon's and Myrtle's, made quite the show. We dipped on the
Plumbeous Vireo, but did get great looks at TOWNSEND'S WARBLER. It and the
Nashville seemed to be enjoying the brush S of the bike path, near the
track field.

What a treat!
