Re: [cobirds] Black-b Whistling Duck in CO

Great to see the records in the Colorado Bird Records Committee files becoming 
more accessible to birders. Your effort to make it easier to submit records via 
eBird should be a nice step toward bringing more records into the records 
committee database.

[cobirds] Black-b Whistling Duck in CO

[Peter Gent]

All,

The 7 Black-bellied Whistling Ducks at Pella Crossing yesterday were the
4th time this species has been documented in Colorado.  The first was of a
bird on the Pawnee Grasslands in July 1991, the second was of 4 birds in
north Durango on 20 June 2015, so it seems that 20 June is the date to look
for these birds:  https://cobrc.org/Reports/SpeciesDetail.aspx?id=1  Note
that the maps show the locations of these reports, and clicking on the blue
icon and then the pdf file leads to the reports.  The third record is of 7
birds seen at a park in downtown La Junta in April 2020:
https://ebird.org/checklist/S69601520.

Note that this last record was not submitted to the CBRC.  I am planning to
have an option for submitting where it will be much easier and faster to
submit records using an ebird checklist that has good photographs. I hope
that this will lead to more reports of rare birds in Colorado being
submitted to the CBRC as well as to ebird.

Cheers,  Peter Gent.
Chairman  CBRC.
