Daniel,

We had a Red-headed Woodpecker at our cabin in Allenspark last year on 
September 24, 2022.

RE: [cobirds] A situation (Boulder)

2022-03-03 Thread ynoz4birds 
Respectfully, you left out a category. Photographers who love to photograph 
birds and do so ethically. I sincerely hope there are more of us than the ones 
that behave as you describe.

I just want people to understand that there are photographers out there with 
big lenses that are not the “bad guys”.

The reason I use a big lens is so that I can get a halfway decent photo without 
intruding on the bird, or going where I shouldn’t. I will add, good 
photographers know how to handle bad lighting.

My husband and I chose NOT to look for the owl in question today precisely 
because so many pictures of it were shared on social media recently, suggesting 
way too many people were seeking it.

Certainly, call out those who behave poorly. Just please don’t paint us all 
with the same brush.

Happy birding.

In my experience, there are birders, birders who take photos of birds, and 
photographers. The latter are all about the photo. Backlit? No problem. I'll 
just crawl over this fence and go into the backyard so I can get the perfect 
shot. Bird sitting on inner branches? No problem. I'll just crawl up under the 
overhanging branches to get an open view. Private property? No problem. I'll 
only be in their yard for a few minutes. 

 

I have seen this everywhere. Cutting in front of shorter folks for a better 
angle. Driving on fragile habitat to get as close as possible. Admittedly, this 
should not be an indictment of all photographers, amateur or professional. But 
we all see enough of this that we must (and often do) speak up.

It has come to my attention that photographers, some of whom may be birders, 
are causing a problem west of Lyons in their lust for a pygmy-owl.  At the risk 
of pissing some of you off, and causing even more people to seek this bird by 
publicizing it, I ask for restraint.  The person who called me is not a birder 
but a guy I used to work with who knows I am into birds.  He owns property 
bordering Route 7 w of town where he says 16 cars full of loud-talking people 
pointing big cameras, rutting the right-of-way that he maintains are back again 
today, the way they have been in numbers for days (weeks?).  He is upset and I 
don't blame him.  He says that whoever these people are, they don't really care 
about the bird, that they act very entitled, that this is all just about 
getting the photo and social.  In short these sorts of situations give birders 
a black eye and they are becoming more commonplace.  If anyone reading this 
knows about the situation first hand, has been there, has a comment or rebuttal 
I can pass on to my friend, I am all ears.  My friend hasn't called the sheriff 
yet but is about to and it makes me sad to think "we" might have caused a 
reasonable person with deep sentiments for conservation and the natural world 
to be so upset.

[cobirds] fledglings in Allenspark

2021-07-27 Thread ynoz4birds 
After seeing so many reports of lower than average numbers of birds in many
areas, I thought I'd give you a brief report from Allenspark (Boulder
County). We've had a cabin in Allenspark for about a year, and we have a
variety of birdfeeders out most days (we spend about half our time there). 

This spring/summer we've seen fledglings of the following species: Hairy
Woodpeckers, Downy Woodpeckers, Pygmy Nuthatches, White-breasted Nuthatches,
Pine Siskins, Black-headed Grosbeaks, Mountain Chickadees, Cassin's Finches,
Dark-eyed Juncos, Steller's Jays, and Black-billed Magpies. 

We have noticed a decreased number of hummingbirds compared to last year,
although we still have 8-10 daily (mix of Broad-tails and Rufous); Calliope
have been rare.
