[Elena Holly Klaver]

Thanks, this seems like a great opportunity to model good behavior by birders 
and inspire interest in non-birders!

[cobirds] Gray catbird in yard

[elena]

I had a catbird in my yard this morning. I got some photos from my phone. Feel 
free to try for him/her. The bird was around the juniper tree and I put out 
water, which the bird immediately came to. Feel free to text or call for 
directions though I’ll be in a job from 9-10 and can’t answer then.

[cobirds] Snow geese in Dodd flock, Diagonal highway

[elena]

On my way to a funeral (so I couldn’t stop for long) the large cackling and 
Canada goose flock around Dodd Reservoir (Diagonal Highway and Niwot/Monarch 
Road) had about ten white geese. Close ones were snow goose but there could be 
a Ross’s and last week there were three greater white fronted geese( no time 
today to scan to check). They can be seen from the Diagonal or Monarch Road.

[cobirds] Small invasion of red breasted nuthatches, Niwot

[elena]

I have resident white breasted nuthatches, year round. The red breasted 
nuthatches come and go, and this morning there were quite a number based on the 
calling. A few came out to the suet, so I put more out. The bushtits come 
through at least once a day, and some spiffy American goldfinches have been 
singing up a storm. Just some fall notes from Niwot.

[cobirds] Blue jay fools Merlin

[elena]

Merlin is a wonderful tool, but it’s certainly not as good as experienced ears. 
I watched Merlin (and, I confess, myself at first) be fooled by a blue jay 
doing a dang good imitation of a Coopers Hawk. I thought the jays were doing a 
very good job but wanted to test Merlin, and, no surprise, the blue jay won.

Re: [cobirds] Possible American Redstart at Lowell Ponds

[elena]

I agree, I did see a couple of American Redstarts this spring on migration but I saw Merlin repeatedly identify AMRE when a yellow warbler was singing. I did see and hear a yellow warbler and saw Merlin call it a redstart, so another example of how Merlin can be a great tool for learning, identifying and locating birds but it should not be used as a definitive identificación. Many times our ears can hear much more than Merlin.  Merlin is definitely improving, but not for 100% identity without our own judgement. Sent from my iPhoneElena Holly KlaverFederally Certified Court InterpreterConference InterpreterEnglish <> Spanish303 475 5189Member: American Translators AssociationColorado Translators Association Pronouns: she, her, hersI acknowledge that I live in the territory of Hinóno’éí (Arapaho), Cheyenne and Ute Nations, according to the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie, and that Colorado’s Front Range is home to many Native peoples.

Birders -
  
  I’ve noticed a change in Goldfinch (both American and Lesser)
  behavior over the past 6 years or so.
  
  I live in Roxborough Village, and going back 5-6 years, we had a
  dramatic increase in the numbers of Goldfinches. Two foot-tall
  mesh thistle feeders would be covered with a dozen Goldfinches
  each, with easily a dozen or more waiting to feed. It was normal
  for them to consume 1/2 to 2/3 of the seed from each feeder daily.
  
  Local populations crashed roughly 3-4 years ago, with almost no
  Goldfinches showing up at my feeders. Oddly, at that time, I
  noticed that the remaining Goldfinches had gravitated to my
  (shelled) sunflower seed feeders. This continued for a roughly 3
  years, with only one or two Goldfinches showing up at a time.
  
  So far, this seemed normal as populations shift, and Goldfinches
  are known to eat sunflowers, but they were completely ignoring my
  thistle feeders.
  
  This year has brought more Goldfinches - as many as 10 at a time -
  but the unusual thing is that they ALL are eating sunflower seeds
  and ALL ignoring my thistle feeders.
  
  I dumped all my older seed and have completely refilled my thistle
  feeders twice, and have moved one to the front yard, but the
  Goldfinches continue to eschew my thistle feeders and in both
  front and back yards now exclusively eat sunflower seeds.
  
  At the same time, House Finches are also ignoring my thistle
  feeders.
  
  While it’s possible I’ve purchased a bad or old batch of thistle,
  I’d like to think that the bird supply retailer I use hasn’t
  received bad seed.
  
  So my question to the group is whether anyone else is seeing
  Goldfinches at their feeders refusing to eat thistle?
  
  Thanks!

Re: [cobirds] Boulder Bobolinks

[elena]

I was about to write that the bobolinks have bobbed back to the area west of McCall lake, south of highway 66 east of Lyons, many flying around in the field and singing. Also there are a couple of trees west of the lake where there are many great blue heron nests. Sent from my iPhoneElena Holly KlaverFederally Certified Court InterpreterConference InterpreterEnglish <> Spanish303 475 5189Member: American Translators AssociationColorado Translators Association Pronouns: she, her, hersI acknowledge that I live in the territory of Hinóno’éí (Arapaho), Cheyenne and Ute Nations, according to the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie, and that Colorado’s Front Range is home to many Native peoples.

[cobirds] Singing dipper in Boulder

While walking on the Boulder Creek path between 6th St and the library, a

[cobirds] Hybrid cinnamon/blue winged teal, Monte Vista

[elena]

At the Monte Vista NWR this weekend, Courtney Rella and I saw a hybrid 
cinnamon/blue winged teal. The duck had a clear pale crescent on his cheek, and 
a very reddish side with faint spots. The tail looked very much like a cinnamon 
teal tail. He was with a male cinnamon teal and a female blue winged teal.  The 
weather was great, thousands of sandhill cranes, many expected waterfowl, a 
greater yellowlegs; we didn’t have any other unexpected birds, and the turnout 
was really good.

[cobirds] Bohemian waxwings in or near Gold Hill

[Elena Holly Klaver]

A friend sent me a video today of a smallish flock of about 8 Bohemian waxwings 
in or near Gold Hill, at about 8,500'.  I couldn’t actually see from the video 
to distinguish them from cedars, but the audio was very clear, and clearly 
Bohemians.  Having just had a large (81) flock of them on the Loveland CBC, the 
sound was fresh in my mind.  Nice to see them in Gold Hill, it makes one wonder 
if this is part of the same flock moving around, or if there are just a lot 
more this year scattered in many places.

[cobirds] Yellow Bellied Sapsucker again in Niwot

[Elena Holly Klaver]

Dear birders, it seems like these guys are around pretty regularly.  This 
morning, drawn by the ineffable dawn light (I hope some of you saw it; it was 
amazing!), I went outside at dawn, and in the same tree where a juvenile YBSU 
came from November 2020 to early January, one was there.  This one looked, 
again, like a juvenile male, so it’s not the same one as 2 years ago.  If 
anyone wants to come by, that is fine, just please don’t block the driveway- 
email or text me for the address.  Hopefully he will stick around again, and 
those of you who do year lists can start off 2023 with him on your list.  

On another note, I had the most chill northern harrier I have ever seen while 
doing the Boulder CBC yesterday on the Bobolink trail between Baseline and 
Table Mesa.  She sat on the fence while many people and dogs went by very close 
to her.  She also vocalized several times, the “eeyah” whistle-like call used, 
apparently, for territory or for soliciting food.  I wasn’t able to record, 
because it was intermittent and there was a lot of noise from people and dogs, 
but it was surprising how habituated she seemed to be to the presence of two- 
and four-leggeds.  If anyone is looking to take pictures of a harrier, that 
would be a good bet.

[cobirds] snow geese on Dodd Reservoir (Boulder County)

[Elena Holly Klaver]

Dodd Reservoir (Monarch Road just west of Diagonal Highway) is filling up with 
hundreds of cackling and some Canada geese.  There were two snow geese in the 
mix, a dark morph with a white head, and a white one.  It’s worth looking for 
some other geese, although I didn’t see anyone else.

Re: [cobirds] a Williamson's Sapsuckers nest in Boulder County

[elena]

Cara Stiles and I went to Caribou Ranch for the Indian Peaks Bird Count, and 
had a pair of Williamson’s Sapsuckers feeding young in a nest in an aspen tree.

Re: [cobirds] Birding books

[elena]

The ABA has a program to get books to aspiring birders and guides in other 
countries where they can’t always afford them, you might check them out.  And 
Boulder Audubon in the past has held a holiday sale in November and might be 
interested, but you would have to ask them; it’s been cancelled for the last 
couple of years.

[elena]

Wonderful! I would love to go with you all some time. Also if you want to do 
your Como survey let me know I would love to go with you again. I just spent 
all day yesterday in Arapahoe County with the CFO birding day, no surprises 
(lots of wind) but nice to be out and a number of FOS species.

[cobirds] carpooling to Rawhide CBC tomorrow, Dec 26?

[elena]

Dear folks, if anyone who has already pre-registered with compiler Douglas 
Kibbe for the Rawhide CBC is interested in carpooling, please contact me, email 
or phone/text.  I will be driving from Niwot, going through Longmont and up 
through Fort Collins.  Doug suggested a place to meet in Fort Collins.  I am 
just hoping to not drive unnecessarily, as some of the CBCs I am doing involve 
a lot of driving already.  Thanks!

[cobirds] Great Boulder Caper 2021

[elena]

Friday, November 26, a small group of birders set out to continue the Great 
Boulder Caper started by Ted Floyd about 15 years ago.  Undeterred by COVID or 
turkey hangovers, Hannah Floyd, Alejo Williams, Megan Jones Patterson, and 
Elena Klaver met at Walden Ponds and began birding Walden and Sawhill Ponds.  
We spent about two hours there, as the temperature rose to almost summer 
levels, with no bird surprises, but some spanking hooded mergansers, good 
numbers of waterfowl, and possibly a record number of muskrats (8-10).  We then 
drove through Boulder County’s Raptor Alley, Lookout Road between 75th and 
95th, where we had two ferruginous hawks and two immature bald eagles, as well 
as a couple of red tailed hawks, but not the northern harriers who have 
sometimes graced that area.  After dropping off Alejo, the three of us went to 
Greenlee Preserve/Waneka Lake, where the geese did not disappoint.  There were 
large numbers of cackling geese, Canada geese, a probable snow/cackling goose, 
a probable Ross’s/cackling goose, and a hatch year snow goose, who was grayish 
white with a dark bill (ID thanks to Ted Floyd texting from the Qatar airport 
with Hannah’s photos). Finally, with Hannah having to leave for academic 
pursuits, Megan and Elena continued to Hecla Lake, where another snow/cackling 
hybrid was lounging with numerous other cackling and Canada geese, and other 
waterfowl.  A wonderful day was had by all, with the caper ending around 1:45.  
The weather was wonderfully mild, compared to some years where it has been 
bitterly cold, and we had a wonderful time upholding the tradition of birding 
instead of shopping.

[cobirds] Ross’s geese on Dodd

[elena]

Yesterday I wrote that there were three snow geese on Dodd reservoir (Boulder 
County, Niwot/Monarch Roads and 75th St) but I didn’t have a scope. Looking at 
them this morning they appear to be Ross’s geese, along with hundreds of 
cackling geese and a few hybrids. I welcome corrections! A beautiful morning to 
be out birding, for sure.

[cobirds] Cranes over Rabbit Mountain

[elena]

While on a midday walk on Rabbit Mountain (east of Lyons, Boulder County) and 
after having run into a birder where we both were looking at three golden 
eagles, and having lamented that I hadn’t seen or heard sandhill cranes this 
fall headed south, about twenty minutes later I heard the unmistakeable sound 
of a sandhill crane. It sounded like only one or two, and I never could get 
them in sight, but from the sound, they came from north-northwest and then 
headed east. Great birthday present! Maybe it was just a couple of stragglers 
from a larger flock.

Re: [cobirds] Blue Jay mimics Cooper’s call, Boulder County

[Elena Holly Klaver]

The blue jays in my yard have been doing very good Cooper’s hawks imitations, 
as well.  I have been fooled a couple of times; the imitations are better than 
their imitations of red tailed hawks.

[cobirds] Ibis at Lagerman

[elena]

It’s hard to tell which ibis, and I learned from Steve Mlodinow that they 
should be registered as glossy/white faced. No clear white mark on the face, 
seems a little more greenish on the body abs reddish on the neck. On the west 
side with cormorants.

[cobirds] Red headed Woodpecker and indigo/lazuli bunting, Eldorado Springs

[elena]

Cobirders, the red headed woodpeckers who have been along the Fowler Trail for 
the last few years are back.  The Fowler Trail is just east of Eldorado 
Springs, and the birds are in a dead tree where they were the last couple of 
years (maybe more, I am not sure, but for sure the last two years) about 3/4 
mile from the trailhead (which becomes very crowded at times as parking is 
limited).  Also a little ways up the trail is a hybrid indigo/Lazuli bunting, 
who was there last year, seen this morning in the same snag where he was seen 
last year.  Nice to have a little stability!  The bunting has a blue head and 
bib, whitish belly, no red at all, and seems to be singing a kind of mixed 
song.

Re: [cobirds] Tennessee Warbler, Twin Lakes, Boulder County

There was a Tennessee warbler yesterday at Twin Lakes, along the trail a little 
east of the tree where great horned owls nested for several years.  Mark 
Holmgren and I got good views of it, and he posted pictures on the eBird list.  
Sorry for the late post.  I went back early this morning and he was not there; 
possibly he went to Sawhill!

[cobirds] Northern waterthrush at Sawhill Ponds, Boulder

[elena]

Peter Williams, Jay Hutchins and i had a northern waterthrush at Sawhill Ponds 
this morning around 10:00 am at the wonderfully birdy southeast corner of the 
pond just north of the first Sawhill pond from the parking area. Peter first 
heard the bird and thought it was a waterthrush but we were looking at a clay 
colored sparrow, orange crowned warbler and several yellow rumped warblers. 
Peter and I recorded audio of the bird, and as he played it to see if it had 
recorded, the bird flew out and into trees at the north end of the first pond.  
We got fleeting views of the waterthrush, but no one got pictures. Peter and I 
have audio; he has already posted his audio in an ebird list.  We also saw the 
bittern who has been seen at that pond at pond #5, though another birder saw 
two bitterns at that northeast Sawhill pond where we had the waterthrush. We 
also saw the summer tanager thanks to other birders who were already watching 
him at the westernmost trail at Sawhill. Great birding, and if you have 
feeders, please consider putting out suet and fruit for birds arriving in the 
cold.

[cobirds] Snowy egret at Lagerman

[elena]

My FOS snowy egret was in the tree with two double crested cormorants and a few 
great blue heron nests just north of Lagerman at sunset. No birds out of the 
ordinary, the northern harrier pair are pretty regular west of the reservoir. A 
few nights ago there was a nice flock of about ten mountain bluebirds. The 
dunlin seems to have moved on. Both adult bald eagles have been out of the nest 
lately in a tree to the west of the nest. Does anyone know if the nest failed 
due to the snow?

[cobirds] Wilson's Snipe in Boulder

[elena]

Some friends who live on Kalmia just a block west of Highway 36 had a snipe in 
their yard.  She sent the photo to me for an ID, and it was a snipe.  They 
don’t have water in their yard, and she thought it might have been hurt, but 
when she went out to see if she could catch it to take it to Greenwood, it flew 
off.

[cobirds] Merlin, mink, et al White Rocks, Boulder

[elena]

On an outing this afternoon at White Rocks Trail east of Boulder we had a 
merlin (photos available on request, not mine but friend Max Bello’s, with a 
long lens) an immature bald eagle, a couple of common goldeneye in the creek, 
and no other avian surprises. The red winged blackbirds have been singing more, 
though the water was all frozen over and ducks were few. But at the creek just 
north of Valmont, as the trail heads north, there were two mink actively 
fishing. One caught a small fish and the other caught a huge fish that was 
bigger than the mink, it looked like a trout. The mink dragged the still 
flopping fish off to the side of the creek and into the willows, and then 
dragged it further away along the creek. Max was able to get photos. It was an 
exciting end of the trail!

[cobirds] Merlin at Sawhill Ponds, Boulder

[elena]

Today in the light snow I went with a visiting Chilean friend to Sawhill in 
search of owls and whoever else was around. We dipped on the owls, but found a 
Merlin, I think female prairie, very brown, no grey.  He took pictures, which I 
can send if anyone wants (once he sends them to me) and which I will post on 
the eBird list. Lots of hooded and common mergansers, no surprises, but a 
wonderful midday collection of expected birds.

[cobirds] Gray crowned rosy finches, Weld County

[Elena Holly Klaver]

While doing a northern section of the Nunn CBC today, I found a flock of about 
50-60 gray crowned rosy finches.  They were flying back and forth between two 
farm houses at the intersection of County Road 37 and County Road 128, north of 
the border of the Pawnee National Grasslands.  Because there was no internet 
signal, I wasn’t keeping a contemporaneous eBird list, and didn’t realize that 
they came up as rare until I got home.  I have photos taken from my phone that 
I uploaded to the eBird list.  It wasn’t a particularly birdy count area, 
although it was beautiful weather, not much wind, so it was nice to find the 
finches.  I always wondered where to best see them in the winter. They were 
actively feeding on seeds from sunflowers and other plants- it seemed grasses-  
growing around the farmhouses.  I had never seen rosy finches on the plains 
before, so it’s interesting.  It will be interesting to see how long they stay 
around, or how soon they will be moving on to other food sources.

Re: [cobirds] Barr Lake Sunday

[elena]

I have had western meadowlarks in he area of the Barr Lake CBC that I do- the 
large northern section that is mostly driving. I also have had them near my 
home on the Longmont CBC in Niwot in an agricultural property. I have also 
heard them sing, though they also call.

[cobirds] (Presumed) yellow bellied sapsucker still in Niwot

[elena]

S/he has been showing up, including for a good part of the afternoon, where 
about six birders were able to see him or her this afternoon.  The property is 
called Willowdale, from the original Niwot schoolhouse, (if anyone needs a name 
for the eBird list) or is 7712 and 7710 Niwot Road, as the house is actually 
two residences- that’s why we request folks park on the west side.  Birders are 
welcome to come, and people can also bird the feeders and birdbath. Please 
either park in the driveway west of Franklin, not east, and please don’t block 
the back house’s driveway.  There is also parking on Franklin Street.  The 
sapsucker has wells in a pine tree, some cottonwood trees, and even some willow 
trees all by the chicken coop.

[cobirds] Eastern bluebirds in Niwot

[elena]

Yesterday late afternoon I went out on the Niwot Loop trail south of Monarch 
Road into the open space. There was a small flock of about 6-8 eastern 
bluebirds in the trees along the creek. I asked them nicely if they would 
consider sticking around a month until the Longmont CBC, as that is an area I 
usually count. We’ll see! They seemed to be feeding on something in the trees; 
there were also some robins in the same trees.

Re: [cobirds] Sedge Wren

[elena]

Thank you, Lauren; it probably bears repeating regularly, since one, people 
don’t “get” it the first time, and two, new people are (hopefully, it’s a good 
thing) regularly joining the birding world, that our ethics as birders require 
us to put the birds’ safety and health first.  NO exceptions. Someone can state 
it better than I can, but please, do not EVER disturb birds, especially 
migrants, especially rare ones who are out of their usual habitat and likely 
struggling to survive.

[cobirds] Mountain chickadees early in Niwot

[elena]

This morning I heard, then found, two mountain chickadees in Niwot around my 
feeders. This is the earliest I have ever had them, as they usually aren’t here 
until the dead of winter. It might be part of the phenomenon of montane birds 
moving around because of fires. No juncos yet, though.

Also, in addition to the great dawn blackbird liftoff at Jim Hamm on County 
Line Road East of Longmont, there is another one, mostly of common grackles 
with smaller numbers of starlings and redwing blackbirds, bear the Boulder 
Valley Farm, Boulder Creek on 95th Street between Lookout and Valmont East of 
Boulder. Multiple thousands of grackles make a great show right before dawn. If 
you go, then stop by Lookout Road between 95th and 75th to see both golden and 
bald eagles, who frequent the prairie dog towns there.

[cobirds] Woodhouse's Scrub Jay in Boulder

[elena]

A friend, who is not a birder and not making eBird or cobirds reports, showed 
me a photo of three Woodhouse’s Scrub Jays at his feeder in northwest Boulder 
(Dakota Ridge neighborhood, near the intersection of Broadway and Highway 36).  
I haven’t seen many there in that area so wanted to report them.

Re: [cobirds] Just a question

[Elena Holly Klaver]

Well, on the subject of puzzle questions and other not-quite-cobirds topics, I 
was part of an educational webinar on heavy equipment and machinery for 
interpreters, and there was a picture of a big truck with a crane, and a 
picture of a great blue heron.  As in English, the words in Spanish for a metal 
crane and the bird are the same, but I had to let the webinar teacher know that 
he wasn’t showing a picture of a crane, not Antigone canadensis.  He said he 
searched for images of cranes, and that was what he found 

[cobirds] Wilson’s warbler migrating through Niwot

[elena]

Yesterday afternoon a male Wilson’s warbler was bathing in my water feature 
(built for feathered friends). He was not seen today. Also there was a breeding 
plumage American goldfinch; usually the ones I see this time are more drab. 
This is central Niwot.

[cobirds] Common nighthawks in Longmont

[elena]

This is a little overdue, but Pat Wednesday at Roosevelt Park in Longmont 
(Longs Peak Avenue and Bross) there were up to 20 common nighthawks flying 
over. The week before there were about half that number; it will be interesting 
to see tomorrow how many there are. They were apparently feeding but mostly 
silent, only a few “peents”. Most of the activity was between 6-8 pm.

Previously reported by Ted and Hannah Floyd, the brown thrasher pair was seen

was audio bombed by a vocal spotted towhee.

Re: [cobirds] Ovenbirds in Boulder County

[elena]

If Ovenbirds in Boulder County interest you, I had at least one singing on the 
Fowler Trail by Eldorado Canyon, in the moist and dense area along the creek 
between the bridge past the canal from the Springbrook Trail and where the 
trail cuts over into Eldorado Canyon.  The habitat is similar to that at the 
top of the Skunk Canyon trail a little to the north, where I missed them last 
Saturday, but where they are regularly seen and heard.

survey, the web page is http://www.nightjars.org/ <http://www.nightjars.org/>.  
It is a one time/year commitment, done either at least 30 minutes after sunset 
and ending at least 15 minutes before sunrise, with up to 10 stops along a 
route and listening for 6 minutes at each stop.  It should be done when the 
moon is above the horizon, and the deadline is June 13th this year.

Re: [cobirds] Centennial SWA. Weld County

[elena]

Is that true even if we have bought a fishing license and the other pass (as 
well as the state parks pass)? I just spent like $80 for a fishing license I 
won’t use in order to contribute to the state and be able to bird places. If we 
are paying, it seems like we should be able to get in (although it’s sketchy 
being in places where people are shooting...) without starting an flood of 
emails, is there a way to clarify this or figure out how to approach the state 
to get some access for birders?

[cobirds] Green heron at Sawhill Ponds, Boulder County

[elena]

There was a green heron on one of the ponds in the northwestern part of Sawhill 
Ponds.  I did not find it, there was someone photographing it when I arrived; 
this was late afternoon yesterday, and since I didn’t see him post it, I 
thought I would. This is west of where one has often been found in the past.

[cobirds] More white faced ibis and Bonaparte’s gulls at Lagerman

[elena]

Lagerman Reservoir in Boulder county continues to delight. This morning there 
were more white faced ibis hunkered down in high winds (which give the water an 
interesting light turquoise green color) and there is a large flock of 
Bonaparte’s gulls. Also FOS for this place tree swallows and continuing 
turnover of ducks, with greatly reduced ruddy ducks, who had been busting the 
eBird filters for awhile with their numbers.

[cobirds] Snipe at Walden ponds, Boulder

[Elena Holly Klaver]

On a brief walk around Walden Ponds in Boulder, there were very few ducks out, 
but four vocal Wilson’s Snipe flew out from Duck Pond and landed on the trail 
along the boundary with Sawhill/Walden, where they were joined by robins and 
killdeer, foraging on the trail for something I couldn’t see in the puddles. 
They were quite cooperative, only flying off when the only other person there, 
a jogger, came down the trail.  The four flew off, then returned, and then flew 
off again making this nasal squeaky-toy sound that I haven’t heard much.  The 
four stayed together while flying back and forth between the trail and Duck 
Pond.  There were also two female Mountain bluebirds, I didn’t see any males, 
and a number of robins expertly pulling long worms out of the ground, always a 
neat sight (except for the worms...). a white crowned sparrow was silent, but 
the goldfinches were singing in the cold.

Given the sensitive nature of this species in Boulder County it might be better 
not to post locations, this is a place where last year there were a couple of 
nests (burrows?). This is my FOS spotting of the species. This time I only saw 
one; last season I saw four adults and young from one burrow m, not the other 
as it was further away from a viewing spot.

[cobirds] Pipits and a yellow shafted flicker, Boulder County

[Elena Holly Klaver]

On a walk to Boulder Creek on the White Rocks trail, there were two flickers 
just south of the creek, one with clear yellow under its wings and tail. The 
other had red; neither had malar stripes nor color at the nape of the neck, 
leading me to think they were female, but I am not sure.  The five American 
pipits were along Boulder Creek by the bridge on the trail, feeding along the 
creek and in some plants on the bank.  Two adult bald eagles, the resident 
pair, were along the creek, and on Teller Lake there was a good variety of 
ducks.  There were more ducks, including some canvasbacks, bufflehead, and 
pintail, on Lagerman Reservoir earlier today.

[cobirds] trouble with signing up for CBCs

[elena]

Cobirders, is anyone else having trouble signing up for CBCs?  I have tried two 
browsers (Safari and Chrome) and just get sent in circles with both.  There 
doesn’t seem to be a way to get to a sign up page as in the past.  Any 
suggestions?

Re: [cobirds] Pink-footed Goose, Weld County

[elena]

Thanks to Michael for finding the Pink-footed Goose at this lovely reservoir, 
and thanks to the birders who kept eyes on him/her.  What a treat!  The goose 
took off close to sunset with thousands of white cheeked (looked like mostly 
Cackling) geese who flushed when a juvenile bald eagle flew over, but it looked 
like the flock might settle back on the reservoir. That reservoir is a 
treasure.

[cobirds] Northern Three Toed Woodpecker on best, Boulder County

[Elena Holly Klaver]

Cobirders, while participating in the Indian Peaks breeding bird survey at 
Rainbow Lakes, Topi Martínez and I had a Northern Three Toed Woodpecker at a 
nest.  It seemed as if the woodpecker (a male) was working on the cavity, as we 
didn’t see a female or hear young in the tree, and the wood shavings at the 
base of the tree looked very fresh.  We didn’t have any surprises on the count, 
as it was fairly windy most of the morning.

[cobirds] Veery, Boulder County, Twin Lakes

[elena]

Cobirders, I am sorry I forgot to put that Twin Lakes is in Boulder County.  It 
sounds like someone refound the bird this evening.  I uploaded audio (it was 
faint, on an iPhone) to my eBird list.  If the bird was refound at 7:40 pm, 
hopefully s/he might stick around until morning.  Good luck! The bird was 
singing continually, although it was across a ditch in a yard and I never saw 
him or her.

[cobirds] Red Rocks Trading Post?

[elena]

Dear cobirders, on a break from work today I went by the Trading Post to bird 
over lunchtime. Are the bird feeders gone permanently, or just for the sumer?  
There is a very water-wasteful bluegrass lawn and no bird feeders, and it was 
very disappointing.  Any info?  Please feel free to email me off of the list 
serve, thanks.

[cobirds] Boulder Creek snipes, etc

[Elena Holly Klaver]

Topiltzin Martinez and I did a midday recon of our Boulder CBC route along 
Boulder Creek from 30th to 55th Streets.  No one out of the ordinary, but it 
was nice to see two Wilson’s snipes quite close up in the wetlands along the 
path just west of 55th and north of the path. There were also two green winged 
teal in the water a little west of the snipe, along with a good number of 
assorted expected waterfowl in the ponds south of the creek and west of 
Foothills Parkway.  A raft of northern shovelers was spiraling in a tight 
circle as they fed, while a few ring necked ducks stayed on the outside of the 
rotating raft, presumably picking up leftovers.  Being midday, it was a bit 
slower than usual, but we still managed to get 30 species, including a 
Townsend’s solitaire just east of 30th street and a juvenile dipper (yellow 
bill, pale front) in the creek west of 55th.  We asked the snipe to please 
stick around until next week, and we hope they will be compliant!

[cobirds] looking for a pair of used binoculars for an indigenous Costa Rican bird/culture guide

[elena]

Dear Cobirders, This is a not a bird sighting, nor is it about a request for 
money.

My friend Paula Palmer lived in Costa Rica for a number of years, and goes 
every year.  She lived and worked in an indigenous Bribri community.  She 
wrote: My Bribri friend Mauricio Salazar in Costa Rica asked me whether I might 
be able to bring him a pair of used binoculars for bird watching. Mauricio is 
the best Bribri culture/nature guide in the Talamanca region, but he has been 
very ill for the last 6 or 7 years with cancer. He continues to do rounds of 
chemo, off and on. He told me he would just like to have a pair of binoculars 
to use for his own pleasure now that he is mostly confined to home. Just 
wondering if you know anyone who might have an extra pair they are ready to 
part with? I leave for Costa Rica on March 27. Thanks, Elena, -Paula

Please contact her directly: paularpal...@gmail.com 
<mailto:paularpal...@gmail.com>

Thank you in advance for any help. The ABA program that sends binoculars and 
scopes to Latin America is in a transition period and likely cannot help.

[cobirds] Boulder Daily Camera article on the Brown Booby

There is a front page article in today’s Boulder Daily Camera on the Brown

could be the state’s 500th bird pending a review by the Colorado Bird Records 
Committee.

Re: [cobirds] Bird Obit & future

Thanks, Hugh, and this is always a good opportunity to educate/remind people 
about putting decals in windows that present a risk to birds.  They are 
available from any of the stores that sell products for wild birds, and might 
be available (or maybe should be) from the Museum gift shop.
