[cobirds] Golden-winged Warbler

[Mary France]

Tom and Mary France went to Lory State Park near Bellevue, CO, this 
morning.  We stopped at the Timber Trail/Waterfall Trail and Tom found a 
Golden-winged Warbler around 10 AM.  It was in the shrubs at eye level 
north of the restroom and west of the parking lot.  He did get a bad 
picture of it but it is identifiable.  It flew before he could get a 
better picture.


We stopped by the same area later and no trace of it was found.

Last year a Golden-winged Warbler was in Lion's Open Space Area in 
Bellvue.  If you're bird watching anywhere in that area, be on the 
lookout.  Beautiful Bird!

[cobirds] Whimbrel

[Mary France]

In reporting the Whimbrel at Woods Lake near Eaton yesterday, I 
listed the county as Larimer but it is actually *WELD*.  I got so 
excited to share the info, I neglected to check the proper county.

[cobirds] Whimbrel, Woods Lake, Larimer Co

[Mary France]

Tom and Mary France just saw 2 Whimbrel at Woods Lake, Larimer Co,  
near Eaton, CO.


We love to check for birds there but it is very dangerous because 
there's no place to pull off the road.

[cobirds] Burrowing Owl, Weld Co

[Mary France]

Tom and Mary France saw their 1st of season Burrowing Owl today in 
Weld Co.   From Hwy 85 in Nunn, CO, turn east onto Co Rd 100, go to Weld 
Co Road 33 and turn south.  The birds were on the west side.
They have been there in years past but it's always great to see 
them return.

[cobirds] Fwd: Greater White-fronted Goose, Fort Collins, CO, Larimer County

[Mary France]

Around noon today, 12/03/14, Tom and Mary France went by Prospect Ponds 
in Fort Collins, CO. As you turn off Prospect south onto Sharp Point, 
the ponds are on your left. The 1st pond had tons of White-cheeked 
geese, Mallard, Widgeon, Shoveler, and 6 Pintail.


The 2nd pond had the same birds but we also found 1 Greater 
White-fronted Goose.


Wishing you Good Birding,

[cobirds] Mountain Bluebirds, Lory State Park, Larimer county

[Mary France]

Tom and Mary France were in Lory State Park, west of Fort Collins, 
this morning , 2/27/14, and saw Mountain Bluebirds.  I counted 25 in 2 
trees with more flying about.  Most were male but we did see a couple of 
female.  We found them at the more southern most part of the park closer 
to Arthur's Rock Trail.


 Maybe Spring will get here this year!

Does anyone know why the Osprey Tower at the highway 287 cutoff in 
LaPorte, Co, north of Fort Collins, was taken down?

[cobirds] About Osprey Tower near LaPorte, CO, Larimer county

[Mary France]

I got a very rapid answer from Pat Hayward telling me they are 
moving the Osprey Tower to prepare for a roundabout at that 
intersection.  Thanks, Pat.  Now we all know.

[cobirds] Dead Finches-Larimer Co.

[Mary France]

I wanted to add that the dead Finches started showing up weeks before 
the mosquito spraying in our area and continued after.  I wash my 
feeders with a bleach solution but, if others don't do that, diseases 
could be spread in that manner.


I thank everyone for their info.  If I find another dead bird, I'll get 
it to Nick Komar.

[cobirds] Dead House Finches, Larimer Co.

[Mary France]

Hi,

Tom and Mary France live in SE Fort Collins and have just 
discovered our 5th dead House Finch in our yard today - 3 males, 2 
females, none appeared to be juveniles.
I wondered if this has occurred elsewhere and what might be causing it.  
I did notice a couple acting ill - puffy feathers, not moving much.  
We've never had this happen before.  Could it be West Nile? Any ideas?


Thanks,

Tom and Mary France

[cobirds] Help with ID, Beebe Draw, Weld CO, possible Dunlin

[Mary France]

Tom and Mary France were at Beebe Draw in Weld CO around noon today 
and saw this bird.


1)  http://www.pbase.com/canon_clicker/image/149676353
2)  http://www.pbase.com/canon_clicker/image/149676398
3)  http://www.pbase.com/canon_clicker/image/149676401

We're thinking it's a Dunlin due to the black legs, black beak with 
slight downturn and black smudge on it's breast.


Please give us your opinion.

Thank You.

[cobirds] Re: Mississippi Kite, Glenmere Park, Greeley CO., Weld County

[Mary France]

 To answer the questions we are getting regarding the Mississippi Kite 
we saw on Monday at Glenmere Park in Greeley CO, Weld county:


 We have gone through all the pictures we took and have decided the eye 
color of the 3 in the tree is inconclusive due to a lack of light.  
Sorry we couldn't be more helpful.


We saw them at 10:15 AM on the south side of the lake.  They were in 
many trees but only deciduous trees.


Hopefully that answers all the questions.

[cobirds] Juvenile Swan, Dixon Dam Reservoir, Larimer CO, Fort Collins, CO

[Mary France]

Tom and Mary France also viewed and photographed the juvenile Swan at Dixon 
Dam Reservoir, west of Fort Collins, CO.  We felt it was a Trumpeter Swan but 
stand to be corrected by the experts.  We both heard one call and, to us, it 
sounded like a Trumpeter.

Please feel free to view photos at:  
http://www.pbase.com/canon_clicker/swan_trumpeter The last 2 pictures are 
of yesterdays bird.  Hope these help with the ID.

[cobirds] Black Brant, Larimer CO, Fort Collins, CO

[Mary France]

Yesterday, 11/15/2011, Dave Leatherman found 2 Black Brant in Sheldon Lake 
at City Park in Fort Collins, CO (Larimer County).

Tom and Mary France went over, found the birds right away, and got pictures 
of them.  They were very skittish of people and stayed in the middle of a few 
Cackling Geese.
They both got upset with a Gull that was invading their territory.

[cobirds] Summer Tanager

[Mary France]

Tom and Mary France went to Crow Valley today. We saw a 1st Spring Male Summer 
Tanager. If you wish to view photos, go to:
http://www.pbase.com/canon_clicker/summer_tanager

We shared the 1st viewing with Barry and his wife from Denver and relocated it 
along with Steve from Greeley.
If you wish to try for this bird, it was found south of the main bathrooms 
(near the community BBQ Grill area) and relocated further west near the big 
tree with the branch that hangs over the trail.

[cobirds] Re: Ross's Gull

[Mary France]

On 11/25 around 2 PM, Tom and Mary France found the Ross's Gull on the 
south side of the lake - directly opposite the dam.  We parked in a semi-circle 
area near a sign saying Wetlands Preserve, walked directly north on a trail 
that led to a Bird Watching Observation Area on the water.  The bird was still 
a ways out there fishing with a Bonaparte's Gull.  Thanks to all who have 
reported it!
