Re: [cobirds] rehabber recommendation resource?
As a volunteer transporter for CPW SE region I’ve been told that many rehabbers don’t want their locations and contact information posted. The recommended process is to call your local Wildlife office and let them make arrangements for transport. Regarding the centers you listed, you might get their permission to post their phone numbers. In Pueblo, the Raptor Center at the Wildlife and Discovery Center (formerly the Nature Center) takes calls from the public. And I believe Second Chance Wildlife Rehab does as well. They both have websites and Facebook pages where you can find their contact information and hours of operation. If you can’t reach any of these places, like after hours or weekend, State Patrol will take wildlife emergency calls and get you a wildlife officer or park ranger. Hope this is helpful.

[cobirds] Re: Pueblo County, Pueblo Nature Center access, no bird sightings
Update — the Nature and Discovery Center Facebook page states that the parking areas and trails have been cleared and the area is open.

[cobirds] Pueblo County, Pueblo Nature Center access, no bird sightings
Hi all, The parking lots and trails at the Nature and Wildlife Discovery Center in Pueblo (previously called just the Nature Center) are closed for an indefinite period of time after a major flood event left much of the area under a foot or more of mud and debris. Cleanup will take some time. Details and many photos are on their Facebook page, along with contact information for offers of help in cleaning up and donations. Apparently, the main river trail is usable but muddy. The area can be accessed on foot or bicycle from the Osprey Picnic Area in Rock Canyon in Lake Pueblo State Park or from Pueblo City Park. There may be other “unofficial” access points as well.

Re: [cobirds] big age difference in owl nestlings?
I’ve not had experience with that happening for owls in the 10 years I have been monitoring raptor nests for CPW. However, I have seen something similar with kestrels in a nest box behind my house in Pueblo West. About 6 years ago, 3 young kestrels fledged from the box, one every other day as usual, and 2 weeks later a 4th one popped out to join the other 3. Since we can’t see into the box, there’s no way to know for sure that there was actually that much difference in age, but the late one looked much less mature than her siblings, with a few pinfeathers and a slightly shorter tail.

Re: [cobirds] Question about raptors and Collared Doves
Dave and all, I have a fair number of Eurasian Collared-Doves in my Pueblo West yard, and also see some (not nearly enough) piles of feathers. I've seen them actually being eaten in my yard and the neighbor's by Cooper's Hawks and once by a Merlin. Once I surprised a Sharp-shinned Hawk with one when I went out the front door; the hawk went right and the dove went left. I was surprised at this as they were pretty much the same size. I thought it was pretty ambitious of the Sharpie. I expect Red-tailed Hawks, Northern Harriers, and Great Horned Owls, all of which frequent this area, get a few as well, although I haven't actually seen them in the act. My neighbor is a dove hunter and shoots all three species that are found here; he says they all taste the same.
