But with neighborhoods lining bodies of water such as Boyd Lake, Lake Loveland, Marston Reservoir, Jackson Lake, and MacIntosh Lake (in Boulder), among many others, many of those species theoretically could have been counted on a yard list.

Re: [cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 9/20/23

[Lauren Hyde]

I really don’t think there is anything we can do. From what I understand, the destruction will go from somewhere along the dam through the banding station. I don’t think it will go through the nature preserve though. Let’s hope so. Given that part of the trail is along the railroad track and that 3 miles or more will be demolished, only half of the perimeter will remain. What a sad ending to Barr Lake. And it really is. When I was a teenager, I had a job in through the Youth Conservation Corps. We were employed through the Colorado State Parks. We worked 30 hours per week improving our state parks (eg, building picnic areas, camp sites, etc) The other ten hours were spent learning about conservation practices and park maintenance. It was one of, if not the best, job I ever had. We actually learned how Barr Lake was constructed. At that time-1975 to be precise-we took a trip to learn about the dam‘s construction and to observe the park‘s wildlife. Seeing the park evolve over time has been an interest of mine over the years. For nearly 50 years I have been a regular visitor to Barr Lake. I have seen things over the years that I don’t agree with, but this one is horrendous! It is so ugly now!  On Sep 20, 2023, at 5:48 PM, meredith  wrote:Not a lot of birds but a pretty nice variety today.  Added another young, rarish warbler - a Tennessee - to this year's list.  Here's the breakdown of the 22 new birds (there were also 9 recaps):Downy Woodpecker 1Warbling Vireo 1House Wren 2Ruby-crowned Kinglet 3Tennessee Warbler  1Yellow Warbler 1Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 1Yellow-rumped Warbler, unidentified 1Common Yellowthroat 1Wilson's Warbler 8Green-tailed Towhee 1Chipping Sparrow 1Thanks to all those who are participating in the effort to maintain some habitat for songbirds at Barr Lake. If you would like to visit our station, we have one-hour slots (up to 15 visitors at a time) from 7:30-8:30 most weekday mornings (Tues-Fri, we are closed on Mon) and 8, 9 , and 10 a.m. one-hour time slots on the weekends.  Click here to make a reservation.Meredith McBurneyBander, Barr Lake StationBird Conservancy of the Rockies

Re: [cobirds] Barr Lake vegetation removal

[Lauren Hyde]

After a couple of months of rehab for a bum knee, I decided to go on a mountain bike ride around Barr Lake’s perimeter Saturday. Much to my dismay, the state park that I consider my home base, was being torn to shreds. I didn’t understand why until this thread. During my entire ride, Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi” kept running through my head. That song was recorded over 50 years ago, yet I continue to witness habitat destruction for so many species, including our own. I doubt it will ever stop in my lifetime. I think greed rules our decisions these days. Lauren HydeKeenesburg, WeldOn Sep 19, 2023, at 7:35 PM, Susan Rosine  wrote:My REAL "before" pic at Barr Lake, and my (poorly edited) "after" picture.

FRICO, the ditch company that built the reservoir and owns the water rights, recently increased the water level in the reservoir to accommodate more irrigation needs and water storage and other municipal needs. However, this has caused issues with trails getting washed out and the overall integrity of the lake. To mitigate, they are removing a great deal of shoreline vegetation and replacing it with rip rap. They have already completely cleared the area from the NE corner of the dam to the boat ramp, and are installing rip rap there now. The cleared area is at least 30 feet wide. Yesterday they started work on a second section, from the boat ramp to the Pioneer Boardwalk. Again they have removed all vegetation including 100+ year old cottonwoods.   The current plan is to continue this method all the way to the large bald eagle viewing gazebo on the south end of the park. This would completely clear out the area where the Bird Conservancy Banding station is, not to mention almost all the rest of the shoreline vegetation along the east side of the lake. The plan is to complete this work in the next couple of weeks.Our understanding is that FRICO has extremely broad legal latitude to do what it is doing, even though Barr Lake is a state park, because FRICO owns the lake. The effects on habitat and wildlife are going to be severe, especially at the banding station which has been in place for 35 years. This is particularly galling because when the company filed a grant application to increase the water level, they touted the area as a great birding destination and argued that raising the water level would only enhance it. Now the exact opposite is happening. To change the outcome is probably going to require a strong and immediate public outcry. You can contact FRICO at:Farmers Reservoir & Irrigation Company80 South 27th Avenue Brighton, CO 80601  P: (303) 659-7373   i...@farmersres.comYou might also consider reaching out to your state and local government representatives.

Re: [cobirds] Birders Cleanup Malm Trail in Alamosa

[Lauren Hyde]

Thank you for doing that, John. All of us should consider leaving our birding areas and trails cleaner than when we entered them. A good rule of thumb is to carry a trash bag with your birding gear. You can even make a non-disposable trash bag by attaching straps to an empty bag of bird seed!Lauren HydeKeenesburg, Weld CountyOn Apr 22, 2023, at 6:06 PM, mvjo...@gmail.com  wrote:Well with today being Earthday, I gathered up some our local birders and 15 of us collected trash and litter over the many segments of trail.

Re: [cobirds] Courtesy to a landowner

[Lauren Hyde]

Frankly, I don’t blame him. Years ago, when my house was the only one on my 
road, both birders and hunters would drive down my long driveway looking for 
birds or game. It’s perhaps ironic, but the hunters were the ones who would 
come to the door asking for permission to be on my land. Birders did not. They 
drove on my horse pasture, opened gates they had no business opening, and 
smashed a pipe that delivered water from my well to the horses’ water tank. 
Please be respectful of other people and their property.

Based on what I am looking at in Sibley’s, my guess is that they are first

When I pulled into my driveway this afternoon around 4 after a trip to

[cobirds] Pectoral and Stilt Sandpipers, Weld

[Lauren Hyde]

Hello Colorado birders,

My friend and I went to WCR 16 and 51 to see if we could find the stilt 
sandpipers reported by Paul and Evi a few days ago. We found the stilt 
sandpipers along with a white-faced ibis, a least sandpiper, a pectoral 
sandpiper, 2 red-necked phalaropes, and lots of Wilson's phalaropes, 
avocets, black-necked stilts, and long-billed dowitchers.

Happy and safe birding,

Lauren Hyde

The loggerhead shrikes have returned to WCR 398 about .75 miles east of WCR 59
