RE: [cobirds] Re: Extensive power expansion, anybody watching for impacts on birds

[bbeatty7704]

I agree with the post below, but have a few things to add:

*   I don’t know if they are, but Xcel should involve a biologist, or 
habitat conservationist, to help identify how to avoid important bird areas, 
migration staging areas, sources of water, etc.
*   I don’t believe added cost should be looked at independently, it should 
also consider the impacts to birds and other wildlife, and Xcel should do what 
they can to avoid impacts
*   Xcel should put bird diverters on the wires, to help minimize collision
*   Working together is a great idea, if biologists, land conservationists 
and others are included in the discussions, and Xcel is open to finding 
slightly different routes
*   Just FYI,  up to a billion birds are killed each year by colliding with 
windows, but as far as I know, no one has compiled the cumulative impacts on 
birds and other animals, i.e., from collision with transmission lines, 
concentrated solar power, wind turbines, cats, cars, pollutants, etc.  We 
should be concerned, and insert ourselves into Xcel’s planning.

Just my opinion

Cobirders: In response to the post about Xcel expanding their power network, I 
have several responses:

1.   You can’t have your cake and eat it, too. You can’t be a consumer of 
significantly more electricity (in contrast to using fossil fuels for cars, 
furnace, etc.) without supporting the electrical supply chain. The electrical 
supply chain comes with some sacrifices, just like oil drilling comes with some 
negatives.

2.If we harass the process of bringing in a greater supply of 
electricity, it comes with adding a significant cost to the end product.  
Remember, Xcel has to pass onto us the economic costs of this $2 billion 
project. Do we want it more than that?

3.   Birds are far more adaptable than some people give them credit for.  
It’s like when I fill my feeders. The birds leave for a short time, but they 
will be back where food can be found. Yes, construction is a short-term 
annoyance, but the long-term benefit makes it worth it. And, the actual loss of 
habitat is likely to be quite small.

4.   The addition of more power lines in remote areas that are not known 
for their tourism potential seems like a small sacrifice to pay for getting the 
electricity we need.  California has had numerous fires and power outages due 
to demanding too high of electrical consumption before having the 
infrastructure to support it. Some of their fires were started by aging 
electrical systems and their power outages- that were almost daily when I was 
there this past year- were quite disruptive. We need the electrical 
infrastructure to move forward to prevent these types of things from happening.

5.   Will these power stations and lines actually kill lots of birds or 
make them move permanently far away.  I doubt it. Our cars kill lots of birds, 
but we don’t propose eliminating cars because of that- we drive with greater 
caution instead.

 

We need to work with Xcel on this project to minimize the harm to the habitat, 
not work against them. Offering to work with someone is far more effective than 
working against them.

Two different people now have asked me whether Western Meadowlark migrates, or 
if it stays all winter and is simply quieter.

 

I personally never see them in winter, so I looked it up, and found this:  
https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Western_Meadowlark/maps-range#, which 
basically says that they do, and also that they do not, migrate.  It references 
birds that migrate off breeding grounds, as well as some who don't; birds at 
higher elevations that move downhill in winter, etc.  Although this info is not 
Colorado-specific.  They do show purple on the range map, implying year-round 
presence, if not necessarily of all of the same birds.  So, yes!  Any insight 
as to our locals would be enlightening.  

 

Thanks,

We have seen a few new birds for our yard the last couple of weeks.  A flock of 
pine siskins have been frequenting the seed feeder for last three days.  We've 
never seen a flock of them before, only a single bird one time last year.  A 
Wilson's warbler briefly landed on our lilac bushes but disappeared before I 
could get it in the binocs, lol.  Last week we had several sightings of a lone 
Lincoln's sparrow, and this week we've been visited by a White-crowned sparrow.

 

We are also seeing the usual Spotted towhees, bluejays, flickers, bushtits, 
goldfinches, red-breasted nuthatches, chickadees, etc. The last hummingbird 
sighting was Saturday, 10/3/2020, on the hummer feeder.  

 

We are using patio mix bird seed and suet cakes.  I don't think we were using 
the seed feeder at this time last year so that could be the reason for the new 
birds in the yard.

Hi everyone,

I am looking for locations where we can place nest boxes for American Kestrels.

American Kestrel numbers have been in decline for several years, due to 
predation (mostly by house cats and Coopers Hawks), disease and loss of nesting 
sites.

I am the Director of CARRI, www.carriep.org   The Colorado Avian Research and 
Rehabilitation Institute and our members have been building and placing nest 
boxes for these  tiny falcons for a few years.

So far we have about 80 boxes placed from Arvada to the Wyoming Border and want 
to have 200 in  place sooner than later.

Kestrels habitat is open country with some type of pole , tree or building 
where the box can be attached to.

Each box is 9x9 x 18 inches deep.  We will be accepting donations for each box.

If you feel you have the proper habitat and would like to participate in this 
project, e-mail me privately.

Thank You,

Scott Rashid

Hello CObirders,

This bird has been hanging around for a week now on my feeder. 
I’ve got lots of bad photos (shot through a window) and have studied the bird 
closely. But I still cannot identify it. Can anyone tell me what this bird is 
(I think it is a youngster). Thanks – Dave Hyde/nr Drake, Larimer Cty.

RE: [cobirds] Cliff Swallows Nesting

The US Fish and Wildlife Service used to have the legal capability of fining 
them for violating the migratory bird treaty act, I don't know if that is still 
in force, with the given administration, but it wouldn't hurt to tell them you 
are contacting the FWS.   I for one, will not stay at that hotel in the future.

This is horrible. Get photos if you can. Definitely contact CPW, and alert 
everyone you can think of (i.e.local Audubon groups). And most importantly, the 
Best Western responsible and their corporate office. Tell them you will let 
people know how they treat our native birds. People who spend lots of money 
traveling to see birds.  Post it on Twitter. Shame the heck out of them. In the 
end, nothing much of anything may happen to them from a legal standpoint, but 
maybe they can actually learn something from the power of word of mouth.

I would call your district CPW officer and see if they can give them a fine, 
but I don't know, I think the migratory bird treaty act has been gutted?  Brenda

RE: [cobirds] Osprey nest Adams county fell down!

[bbeatty7704]

Hi Susan, I know you can contact Greenwood Wildlife Rehab, in Lyons, they can 
tell you who else to call, and what you can do.  Also try the Larkspur Wildlife 
Facebook page, and contact Sarah Heckathorn.   She will know what to do and who 
to contact.   Was it blown down, or did someone knock it down?
