[cobirds] Great-tailed Grackles Adams Co
On Dave Leatherman's reminder that COBirds info is sparse if we see things but don't post, and the info is helpful to others when we do post, I'm backtracking to say that on Tuesday the 7th there were about seven Great-tailed Grackles near Barr Lake, on E 136th just E of I-76 (Adams Co). I know in the past that they've been seen on the E side of Barr Lake in winter, off of Piccadilly Rd, sometimes in large flocks. These few birds on the W side stuck me as probable early arrivals. Per the discussion a year or so ago on the benefit of COBirds, my take is this: eBird is invaluable, the data is extremely helpful on many levels. But COBirds tells the tale. It's where I really learn a lot. Dan Stringer Larkspur, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Great-tailed Grackles overrun Boulder (1); amazing birding video (2)
They're hee-eere... Yes, we've known for about a year now about the phalanx of Great-tailed Grackles staging in extreme southeastern Boulder County--basically, at Stearns Lake and thereabouts. Yesterday, Sunday, Three Kings Day, January 6th, however, the grackles majorly escalated their campaign in Boulder County. At 4 pm, while watching gulls streaming over Greenlee Preserve en route to Valmont Reservoir, Andrew I were amazed and mildly horrified to see hundreds of grackles in the great larine throng. We estimated at least 375 flying northwest over the preserve, heading straight in the direction of the Rez, it seemed. And I'm not sure that we caught the beginning of the flock; we may have come in midway through. Next thing you know, they'll be on the Pearl Street Mall, ogling at and harassing the well-heeled tourists at the upscale boutiques. Is nothing sacred? Something else. Here is an awesome birding video about the just-announced ABA 2013 Bird of the Year: http://blog.aba.org/2013/01/presenting-the-2013-aba-bird-of-the-year.html If this video hasn't already gone viral, it will be very soon. Be sure to view it NOW, before the site crashes... :-) And, oh yes, the 2013 Bird of the Year is very much a Colorado bird, and one whose distribution, taxonomy, and general coolness in Colorado are at a premium. Do check it out. You'll never watch this bird again quite the same . . .

[cobirds] Great-tailed Grackles - Stearns Lake, Boulder County
If Great-tailed Grackles are your thing, there's a flock of over 50 hanging out among the trees immediately west of the Stearns Lake parking lot. Also, the pair of Bald Eagles are doing a lot of vocalizing, and the resident pair of Great Horned Owls are officially nesting. -- Chris Petrizzo Broomfield -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.
