[cobirds] Clark's nutcracker, Larimer County

[apanjabi via Colorado Birds]

Just had a Clark's nutcracker land in a Pondarosa pine tree in my yard in 
Horsetooth Lake estates, west of Fort Collins, across from Horsetooth Mountain 
park. Not too common down at this elevation, 5700'.

Re: [cobirds] Can someone help ID this bird?

[cobirds] Black-throated Gray Warbler, Larimer

Had a black-throated gray warbler stop in my yard yesterday for a few brief 
moments.  Also, on Friday, western tanagers, plumbeous vireo, and Virginias 
warblers had returned to Horsetooth Mountain Park.

[cobirds] Broad-tailed hummer and other recent arrivals, Larimer Co.

[apanjabi via Colorado Birds]

I've had at least one male broad-tailed hummingbird visiting my feeders since 
April 14. Yesterday I had at least three individuals here, including a female, 
at one time.

Other new arrivals and happenings in the neighborhood include rock wrens and 
vesper sparrows yesterday at Bobcat ridge open space, and lesser goldfinch, 
white-throated swift, peregrine falcon, a lone pair of mountain bluebirds and a 
territorial Cooper's hawk at Horsetooth Mountain Park.  Here in my yard in 
Hotsetooth Lake Estates, Cassin's Finch have suddenly become one of the more 
numerous birds, with at least 8 individuals here yesterday.  Pine siskins have 
also made a surprise return with a pair seen at the feeders after the snowstorm 
and a few odd individuals at HMP over the past 2 weeks.

Spotted towhees have been trickling in over the past 3 weeks or more, yet only 
a few of the historic territories have been occupied so far.

Also, a few Myrtle warblers stopped in the yard today.

What a great time of year with new gifts showing up each day.

Good birding,

[cobirds] Redpolls, larimer

[apanjabi via Colorado Birds]

Just had three redpolls stop in the yard briefly while I was filling the 
feeders.  Didn't get a good look at them before they flew off but their calls 
were distinctive, somewhat reminiscent of pine siskins.  Hopefully they will 
return.

Re: [cobirds] Re: Cobirds vs Ebird Reporting

[apanjabi via Colorado Birds]

The nice thing about ebird is your observations go into a database where they 
reside permanently to be used in various analyses.  Your observations to 
cobirds are soon no longer relevant and not easy to retrieve, summarize, etc.  
fortunately, sharing your ebird lists to cobirds only takes a few clicks.  I 
will try to start doing this more.  

If you haven't yet tried the new ebird app for your phone I suggest you do. 
Very easy to use!

[cobirds] Black-chinned hummingbird, larimer foothills

[apanjabi via Colorado Birds]

Just had a male black-chinned at my feeder.  Seems like this is becoming a more 
regular/annual event although in past years they have not stayed to breed in 
the vicinity (although it appears they do about a mile away at a neighbors 
place).

Black-headed grosbeak, bullocks oriole and lazuli bunting are now back in 
force.  Have three LAZB at my feeder tray right now.
