[cobirds] Cordilleran Flycatcher/in Centennial, Arapahoe Cty

['Carol Blackard' via Colorado Birds]

Hello,
The bird I wrote in about yesyerday returned just now to our neighbors’ back 
yard across the street. I only heard it singing this time. I looked on Cornell 
website and now feel it is a Cordilleran Flycatcher. The song on Cornell’s site 
is identical and I see light outer tail feathers pictured on the singing video 
that are exactly what I saw yesterday.
So, I gonna count as a new yard bird.

I would love it if it decided to nest under our neighbors’ deck.

Re: [cobirds] Acadian Flycatcher update

[Peter Gent]

All,

MANY CONGRATULATIONS to Brandon for finding the Acadian Flycatcher
yesterday: not an easy identification. Thanks also for letting everyone on
Cobirds know promptly, and staying around for several hours helping other
people to see the bird. This is the second time this species has been
recorded in Colorado, and guess who found the first record.  Yes, Brandon
found the bird which was seen at Van's Grove, which is NW of John Martin
Res, on 12 May 2009: that bird only stayed for one day.  Reports and photos
of that bird by Brandon, Joey Kellner and Bill Maynard can be seen at
https://cobrc.org/Reports/SpeciesDetail.aspx?id=265

Cheers,  Peter Gent.
Chairman,  CBRC.

As of 3pm, still in the two ash trees in the Bell Grove at Chico Basin
Ranch, El Paso County.  Seen by lots of people and many photos taken.
Everyone has left now.  Good luck to anyone else coming.  Note the wide

[cobirds] Vermilion flycatcher(s) --- El Paso and Baca counties

['Mark Peterson' via Colorado Birds]

COBirders,
This morning what is presumably a returning bird from the pair that bred last 
year was at Evergreen Cemetery in Colorado Springs. Hopefully, they will be 
successful breeders at this location again.
On Wednesday on private property in Baca County, there was a male Vermilion. It 
was occasionally displaying.

[cobirds] Cordilleran Flycatcher, Arapahoe Co.

['Andrews Robert' via Colorado Birds]

Hello all,




An addition to the posts about Cordilleran Flycatcher on the plains. After I 
arrived back in Colorado from Africa in late May, I stayed with friends in 
Centennial for about three weeks. The house is adjacent to the Big Dry Creek 
Trail between E. Easter Ave. and E. Dry Creek Rd. in Centennial. On June 15, I 
was surprised to hear a Cordilleran Flycatcher singing and calling at the 
house. It was there for about 30 minutes and then either left or fell silent. 
That was the only day in the three weeks I heard it either at the house or on 
my numerous walks on the Big Dry Creek trail, so the bird did not seem to be 
resident.

[cobirds] Vermilion Flycatcher - Douglas County, Chatfield, between Sandspit and Delta

[myrong...@gmail.com]

I found a Vermilion Flycatcher along the water between the Sandspit and 
Plum Creek Delta. First seen at (39.5411423, -105.0541053), then later 
refound east of there at (39.543111, -105.051724). It was mainly picking 
insects off the surface of the water. If you want to pursue, I suggest 
starting near the Sandspit then walking east along the water, watching for 
it along the way.

[Patrick O'Driscoll]

Just seen in brushy meadow along Sand Creek at least 200-300 yards upstream
from lake area, roughly north of prairie dog town, flycatching from dead
snags and back- and- forthing to creek. Appears to be a first-year male
(“variable,” says Sibley), very bright red breast, white throat, black eye
but no red on head yet. Seen by Patrick O’Driscoll and Maggie Brahm.

Re: [cobirds] Gray Flycatcher ID

I agree with most everything Christian said. I have also witnessed birders call 
empids Gray Flycatchers based on a downward tail flicking, but I think the 
confusion is inexperience with empids and the lack of clarification when this 
field mark is being taught. All empids flick their tails downward, only Gray is 
special for dipping its tail BEFORE flicking it upwards. It can be a hard 
judgement call since this is a fast movement and other species like Dusky will 
flick upwards only slightly before a more significant and noticeable downward 
movement. In further agreement, there are other marks that should used to 
distinguish Gray as well; pale gray appearance, smooth round/flat head shape, 
long thin bill with bright lower mandible, very faint eye-ring. If you're not 
confident using a combination of these marks, leave the flycatcher at empid sp.

Re: [cobirds] Gray Flycatcher ID

[Christian Nunes]

Gray Flycatcher is the expected Empidonax anywhere in Colorado in April. They 
are commonly found up and down the Front Range as migrants, as well as on their 
breeding grounds in Pinyon-Juniper Woodlands.

A quick eBird search brought up three recent checklists with photos of 
purported Gray Flycatchers from the Denver Metro area:

https://ebird.org/checklist/S67607413
https://ebird.org/checklist/S67611544
https://ebird.org/checklist/S67748261


Like Norm, I find the field mark of downward tail wagging to be overly 
emphasized and often confounded by birders. The field mark that I find to be 
most reliable is the unique bill shape of Gray Flycatcher, being longer and 
with a shallower depth than other Empids, and having a distinct awl-shaped 
lower mandible. The lower mandible is always a nice clean orange color with a 
contrasting dark tip. Combine the bill shape/color with a round head and a bold 
pale lore, and then maybe a behavioral clue like tail dipping. Using this as 
guidance, it's clear that all reports of Gray Flycatcher in the Denver Metro 
area this year are 100% accurate.

I have seen several posts on Ebird for gray flycatcher. The ones with photos 
are not convincing for gray flycatcher. The id seems to be based on downward 
tail flicking. This may be the worst field mark for empids, They all flick 
their tails down. About the only thing that can be said with certainty is if 
they flick their tails up, they are probably not gray.

A few thing to report on a very slow day again at Clear Spring Ranch banding.

FOS Gray Flycatcher, Adult. - latest I’ve had here by two weeks
A late Yellow Warbler, Adult F, I’ve only had one later, ever, on !0/1
and only the 2nd Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Hatch-year F) of the season.

[cobirds] Least Flycatcher, CSR, El Paso Co, Thurs

[Steven Brown]

Hey COBirders,

Slow again for banding at Clear Spring Ranch this morning, but the unusual bird 
for the day was an adult Least Flycatcher.
Again, I've only caught 3 of this species in the fall at CSR (since 2012), and 
this was the earliest by a full two weeks.

But it is DEAD along the Fountain Creek corridor. I’m not even seeing any big 
birds fly overhead. No jays, crows, blackbirds, hawks, swallows, orioles, and 
few warblers or flycatchers
compared to other Augusts. This has been the unusual year.

For the second year in a row I've observed a Least Flycatcher singing on 
the Well Gulch Trail in Lory State Park in June. Same location as last 
year; possibly or probably the same individual. Near interpretive sign post 
#5, south of the trail. His singing was relentless this morning. He seems 
to be a courageous or confused fellow, or both. I alternately admire and 
feel sorry for him given the low odds of successfully finding a mate in 
this location. I wish I had such pluck and determination.

[cobirds] Least Flycatcher, CSR, El Paso Co, Sun.

[Steven Brown]

Hey COBirders,

Quiet morning at Clear Spring Ranch with the better weather. I only saw a few 
migrants.

Best were a variety of flycatchers that dropped in:
Least Flycatcher (imm)
Willow Flycatcher (imm)
Western Wood Pewee (ad F)
Olive-sided Flycatcher (imm). My first banded at CSR, and only the 2nd I’ve 
seen in the hand. They usually stay up pretty high.

Other than that, mostly imm Yellow Warblers, late to the party, and recaps from 
earlier this week.

Have a good weekend,
Steve Brown

[cobirds] Gray Flycatcher continues - Arapahoe

[Jared Del Rosso]

This morning, I heard and briefly saw the Gray Flycatcher that arrived in 
my yard yesterday. (This is western Centennial, Arapahoe County.) It's 
ranging a bit farther today than yesterday, and it's call seems to be 
coming from neighbor's yards more often than mine. The Orange-crowned 
Warbler also continued. Many (7ish) very noisy Blue Jays have been 
dominating the yard for the past two days. This is fairly unusual for my 
yard, but it's a welcome thing. Love those birds...

I also walked the Big Dry Creek Trail in Centennial this morning. Spotted 
Towhees are always numerous there. Two pairs seem to have set up -- or are 
trying to set up -- territories a bit too close to each other, as one male 
kept "visiting" the other and the other's apparent mate. Nothing too 
dramatic transpired, but it was interesting to watch nonetheless. A Hermit 
Thrush, Pine Siskin, and Yellow-rumped Warbler were notable spring 
visitors. 

No sign of the Cassin's Vireo that visited my yard yesterday. It had flown 
in the general direction of the Big Dry Creek yesterday, and I'd hope to 
see it again. Alas.

At Streets of Southglenn (a shopping center at Arapahoe & University), I 
noted an absence of four young ravens at a nest on a big box store sign. A 
week or so ago, they seemed nearly ready to fledge, hopping around and 
flapping their wings. Today, they were gone, though I suspect they'll 
continue to linger around the shopping center for a while. Love those 
birds, too. Glad something as charismatic as ravens can make that sea of 
pavement home.

[cobirds] Vermilion Flycatcher at Cottonwood Marsh (Walden Ponds, Boulder)

I was amazed to see the Vermilion Flycatcher flitting around the small
trees and grasses next to the Cottonwood Marsh parking lot this morning at
10:30, a bright red jewel in the morning sunlight.  Shouldn't he be in
Arizona where it's warm?

[cobirds] Cordilleran Flycatcher, Common Nighthawks - Centennial (Arapahoe)

[Jared Del Rosso]

Last night (5/27), I heard then spotted two Common Nighthawks over my west 
Centennial home (Arapahoe). The birds appeared northbound, until they hit a 
wall of wind that they couldn't break. When I last saw them, they looked 
like they were being pushed southeast.

This morning, while dog walking, I heard the Cordilleran Flycatcher still 
calling from the Little Dry Creek, near the High Line Canal Trail, along 
East Orchard Rd. I previously heard & saw the bird last Thursday (5/24).

[cobirds] Cordilleran Flycatcher - Centennial (Arapahoe)

[Jared Del Rosso]

This morning, I walked my dogs along the High Line Canal / Little Dry Creek 
nexus in Centennial (around E. Orchard & S. Colorado). Lots of House Wrens 
& Broad-tailed Hummers. We also had a singing Black-headed Grosbeak. And a 
Cordilleran Flycatcher, my first in Arapahoe Co., was calling from along 
the creek, just off the canal. 

The canal is increasingly under water, as Denver Water released water three 
or four days ago. It looked to me like this stretch of the canal was the 
front edge of the water flow -- as the water got deeper the farther west I 
walked on the trail. Mallards seemed happy about this.

[cobirds] Vermillion Flycatcher update

[Gregg Goodrich]

The Vermillion Flycatcher was spotted at first Ranch house south of the
Fire Station on west side of South Peyton Highway. Photos on checklist soon.

We spent 2 hours at the fire station then drove south and found it.

[cobirds] Vermilion Flycatcher YES

[David Tønnessen]

Hi CObirders
I'm pleased to inform that the El Paso Vermilion Flycatcher continues at the 
Hanover Fire Station today 4/3 as of 9:10 this morning. I was actually rather 
astonished to find it still present, given the strong north winds.


Good birding,
David Tonnessen

[cobirds] Vermilion Flycatcher + others, El Paso County - YES

[hikerhodges]

All,

The stunning flycatcher was seen at 8 a.m. this morning by a few of us. It 
was still there at 10:30 when I stopped by.
The entire time I saw was there, the bird was behind the fire station in 
the lot - on a fence, cholla or tree. It was not scared off by 3 large, 
noisy commercial trucks that spent some time there.
Thanks again, Bill Kosar.

Also at the fire station were a Curve-billed Thrasher, two Say's Phoebe's, 
and two singing Cassin's Sparrows.

If you head to Chico, the banding station was very quiet, but the road into 
the station boasted 4 Sage Thrashers and a few Scaled Quail.

The prairie dog town at Hanover and DeGroot had 4 Burrowing Owls.

Good birding,
Linda

[cobirds] Vermilion Flycatcher

[Karen Drozda]

After a thorough search of the area east of Carolyn Armstrong Fishing 
Access, the Vermilion Flycatcher was not spotted..so far today. I covered 
the hillside to the east all the way to Smoky Hill Parking lot.
I searched from about 1030 to 1230. There was a breeze from the north and 
it was 50 degrees. It was fairly "buggy", but no flycatcher in sight. I 
did, however, come upon a lone Sage Thrasher.

[cobirds] Least Flycatcher, CSR, El Paso Co, Mon.

[Steven Brown]

Hey COBirders,

It was my busiest banding day this season at Clear Spring Ranch, despite the 
early winds, heat, and smoke. Very Dry right now.
Highlights were an ad Least Flycatcher, a juv Willow Flycatcher, an ad 
Clay-Colored Sparrow, a late Yellow Warbler (I’ve only had 5 after this date in 
5 seasons), a couple Wilson’s Warblers, Yellowthroats, and catbirds, and a pile 
of Chipping Sparrows. 43 birds banded today.

Yellow Warblers are about done, like I said, I had a Lazuli Bunting juv f (only 
5 after this date also),  Lincoln’s Sparrows are starting to arrive in numbers, 
and I had my first Gambell’s White-crowned Sparrow (juv) yesterday. Some birds 
are finishing, some are just starting migration!

Have a good Labor Day,
Steve Brown

[cobirds] OS Flycatcher, Townsend's and Nashville Warblers

[rabushong01]

Hi all, 
  Migration has begun throughout Louisville in the past few days with 
highlights being a Townsend's Warbler, four Wilson's Warblers, and a 
Nashville Warbler in a mixed flock at Warembourg Open Space. My brother 
also had all four species of hummingbirds and an Olive-sided Flycatcher at 
Coyote Run Open Space. Large flocks of nighthawks are passing through with 
numbers ranging from 20-80 in the past week or so. 

Good Birding,

[cobirds] Cordilleran Flycatcher ,Jefferson County

[Tina Jones]

Hi all,


After reading Karen's and David's posts about Cordilleran nest dates I 
remembered 2, different things. One, the Cordilleran Flycatchers which nested 
at a cabin I used to visit, made a nest under the cabin roof on a ledge. This 
cabin elevation was around 8200 feet. The  nest was usually finished close to 
July 10-13. This was Lodgepole Pine Habitat.


Number two, I had a pair of Cordilleran nest in 2015, under the roof ledge of 
my HOUSE, in Littleton. I was shocked when I heard the birds calling back and 
forth  in my backyard the time of  June 15th. I got to watch the Female take 
shredded bark off of one of my trees, and then she placed it under the house 
ledge on top of a water drain spout. The nest was pretty much finished by June 
20. I then had my bad fall and was away from the house for 2, weeks. When I got 
back to my house, the Flycatchers were no where to be seen. I asked my gardener 
in mid August if she could climb my ladder to see if there was anything in the 
nest. To my surprise, she said there were 2 eggs. Her photo showed them to be 
Cordilleran Flycatcher eggs.


2015 was a crazy summer and I forgot to post the above info. Sorry! This 
elevation seems pretty LOW to me for Cordilleran. I am one block away from 
Denver County , close to Fort Logan Cemetary. I do not know what happened to 
the Flycatchers. I have 1 Cooper's Hawk which spends every day in my yard [in 
the summer]  kak, kak,, kaking, at the Great Horned Owls which reside in my 
yard.


Happy Birding!

[cobirds] Least Flycatcher, RMNP, Larimer Co

[Bob Righter]

Hi

At 11:00 am while walking from the trail head on the east side of Moraine Park 
at about 1 to 2/10ths of a mile I heard "chebeck, chebeck, chebeck..." that 
continued for 10 minutes. The empid was calling from a Lodgepole tree limb 
about 20 feet from the ground that was adjacent to the path. Viewing the empid 
from about 20 feet I first noticed how the underneath appeared noticeable light 
in color, particularly after just viewing a Dusky Flycatcher that appeared a 
grayish dusky undertone. Viewing from the side the wings appeared blackish with 
noticeable light-colored wing-bars and the face showed a distinct eye-ring. The 
bill was short and the tail was medium length and narrow. The general habitat 
was Lodgepole Pine and Alder-Willow near the wetlands, certainly an odd 
location for a Least. If anyone is interested I have a rather scratchy IPhone  
recording that I'll figure out how to send

[cobirds] Gray flycatcher and American redstart East CU Campus, Boulder

[David Ely]

Good afternoon,


 This morning I saw a gray flycatcher and a first summer male American
redstart along Boulder Creek as accessed from the east CU campus near the
Space Science building.  Both birds were quite a ways west (upstream) from
the normal sweet spot.  My best advice to search for these birds, if
interested, is to walk west along the paved path to Prentup Field.  When
you see the scoreboard on the north fenceline, exit the paved path and get
as close to the creek as possible. Both birds were in this general area.
The redstart was especially fond of the area on the north side of the creek
near a chain-link enclosure that had a prominent yellow pipe in it.  This
is where I first saw and heard the bird singing, but it seemed to move
upstream a bit and further north off the water after my initial sighting.

[cobirds] Alder Flycatcher #2,3, CSR, El Paso Co, Monday

[Steven Brown]

Hey COBirders,

Today was a flycatcher day again at Clear Spring Ranch banding.  I opened after 
the rain passed, about 45 minutes late, and didn’t expect much. It seems the 
rain knocked down a lot of birds, as I caught MANY that were overloaded with 
fat, like they had expected to get further along.

Today was “Get to Know Your Traill’s Flycatchers Day”. TWO Alder Flycatchers 
were banded (after an FOS ALFL yesterday), and FOUR more Willow Flycatchers, 
(two yesterday). These weren’t calling, but were ID’d by measuring how 
Primaries 9 and 10 compare to the other outer primaries, in the hand. The ALFL 
MAY have had a slightly longer Wing to Tail aspect, but I wouldn’t have been 
able to tell otherwise.

In addition 2 W Wood-pewees, and FOUR more Dusky Flycatchers. I usually get 5-6 
flycatchers per spring. Again, this year is different!

Also banded:  55 total birds-
Yellow Warbler 12
Com Yellowthroat 3
MacGillivray’s Warbler 2
YB Chat - 6
N Waterthrush (same bird banded 5/19, still hanging around)
Swainson’s Thrush
Mountain White-crowned Sparrow
Lincoln’s Sparrow 5
Song Sparrow 2
Black-headed Grosbeak (ad M)
Lazuli Bunting 2
Indigo Bunting (ad F)
Bullock’s Oriole 3

Not bad for a day I thought would be a washout. #2 day for numbers this spring. 
(#1 for Flycatchers!)

Good birding,
Steve Brown

[cobirds] Gray Flycatcher Skunk Canyon Boulder County

[Luke Pheneger]

Hi all,

Sorry for the late report but during the Boulder Audubon Teen Naturalist
bird and butterfly survey at Skunk Canyon today at about 10:30am, Aidan
Coohill spotted, and I identified a GRAY FLYCATCHER about 1.5 miles up the
trail. The bird was flicking its' tail and vocalizing about 20 feet down
the side of the trail in a dead taller shrub. Also at the Canyon was a
WILLOW FLYCATCHER, a high count of VIRGINIA's WARBLERS at 13; they started
singing at 10:45 and completely stopped at 11:30, only getting visuals on
2, and a ROSE BREASTED GROSBEAK singing.

[cobirds] Gray Flycatcher fallout in Canon City, Fremont Co. 4/29

[Brandon]

Yesterday, three of us saw an amazing number of Gray Flycatchers, pushed
down to Canon City, by the weather.  We ended up counting 27 Gray
Flycatchers, seen from 4 different locations in Canon City.  This species
breeds in the pinyon juniper woodlands of Fremont County, though all of the
27 we saw yesterday, we migrating birds along or near the Arkansas River.
Most birds were along the Canon City Riverwalk, between Sells and
Raynolds.  Other species that were seen in large numbers in Canon City
yesterday, because of the weather, were:  Western and Mountain Bluebirds,
Say's Phoebes (also a few Black and Eastern Phoebes as well), American
Pipits, and swallows.  The only warblers, were Yellow-rumped, a few
Orange-crowned, and one male Common Yellowthroat.  We saw both Hermit and
Swainson's Thrushes, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, a Dusky Flycatcher, two Lazuli
Buntings, Evening Grosbeaks, and variety of sparrows (Chipping, Brewer's,
Lark, White-crowned, and two Black-throated).

The water bird highlights were some shorebirds, including Semipalmated,
Western, and Least Sandpipers, Long-billed Dowitchers, Willet, Greater and
Lesser Yellowlegs, Solitary and Spotted Sandpipers, and Killdeer.  Also,
large number of White-faced Ibis, and a couple Snowy Egrets.

Probably the best birds of the day, were a Caspian Tern in Florence and
four Broad-winged Hawks along the Canon City Riverwalk.

A really fun day of birding in Fremont County yesterday.  The weather was
much better there, then what we would have encountered in SE Colorado,
where were planning to be this weekend.

[cobirds] Gray Flycatcher Lee Martinez Park/Larimer

[Rob Sparks]

Today while birding on bike on my way to work I had a Gray Flycatcher 
pumping it's tail downward. The Gray Flycatcher was 20 feet east of the Lee 
Martinez link trail and Poudre Bike Trail intersection on the north side of 
the trail.  There also seemed to be an influx of
Yellow-rumped Warblers of both races.  
On another note I have been observing a Bushtit nest by the Museum of 
Discovery that is completed and ready for action.

Good Birding,

Hey COBirders,

I banded a few good birds today, like an Orange-crowned ad male (lutescens 
ssp), a Com Yellowthroat m, a couple Lincoln’s and White-crowned Sparrows (one 
Mountain ssp). But the winners for today - a Second-year Gray Flycatcher 
(photos available), and a “life fondle” of an ad m Am Kestrel caught in the 
net. (also with photos available).
15 birds caught today, on a nice, cool, calm, spring morning!

[cobirds] Empidonax flycatcher in Pueblo 4/20

[Brandon]

I got good looks at an empidonax flycatcher in the Olive Marsh in
Pueblo this morning.  Unfortunately it disappeared before I could take
any photos.  The bird looked fine for a Western type flycatcher, very
nice tear drop eye ring, greenish black, yellow underparts, tail
moving up word.  Given this early date and the bird being on the
plains, I wonder if the bird was a Pacific Slope Flycatcher, and not a
Cordilleran Flycatcher.  I typically don't think Cordilleran
Flycatchers are very early migrants returning back to Colorado.  Of
course, the limited time I saw the bird, it didn't make any noise.
Since Cordilleran and Pacific Slope Flycatchers looks the same, and
may even be the same species, we'll likely never really know.

[cobirds] Vermillion Flycatcher - No Sightings Today - Arapahoe County

[Gregg Goodrich]

I talked to the home owner. He last saw the flycatcher day before yesterday. He 
showed me great photos of the male Vermillion Flycatcher on his backyard chain 
link fence. He said early afternoon might be best if it is still around. His 
backyard opens to the green space and has only been seen in the backyard.

Best to park on S Salida Way south of Iliff and look west to the first 4 houses 
south of Iliff across the creek. Hopefully it can be refound.

Hi COBirders,

I caught and banded a Hatch-year Gray Flycatcher this morning at dawn at Clear

yesterday, after 104 with 68 Chipping Sparrows (64 Hatch-years!) on Wednesday.

Also today, Ad M Ruby-crowned Kinglet, HY M MacGillivray's Warbler, several 
Wilson's, and a handful of Lincoln's and Chipping Sparrows.

Happy Migration,

[cobirds] Alder Flycatcher, CSR, El Paso Co., Thurs

[Steve Brown]

Hey COBirders,

Bird-of-the-Day yesterday at Clear Spring Ranch was a Second-year Alder 
Flycatcher, banded.
It didn't call, and I don't pretend I could separate it in the field from the 
more expected Willow Flycatcher, but a series of precise primary feather 
comparisons consistently indicated Alder. 
Photos available if you are interested.

It was a productive morning, (3rd busiest day this season) with an arrival of 
more locally-breeding species, but especially late-arriving, second-year female 
birds, looking pretty bedraggled in their yet-to-be-replaced plumages. Included 
were Com Yellowthroat (9), Yellow Warbler (4), Wilson's Warbler (2),  
MacGillivray's Warbler, Yellow-breasted Chat, Gray Catbird, Swainson's Thrush, 
and caught, but unbanded, male Black-chinned and Broad-tailed Hummingbirds.

Since I'm writing thus at 6 a.m., you can tell the forecast today is not 
conducive to operating nets - Rain and Strong Winds. A good day for data 
reporting!

[cobirds] Alder Flycatcher - Loveland, Larimer Co

[David Wade]

Greetings Birders,

I am sheepishly reporting that I saw and heard an Alder Flycatcher at the 
Morrey Wildlife Reserve in Loveland today. Sheepishly because I didn't 
realize I was looking at one when it happened. I spotted a flycatcher with 
a white throat, moderate primary projection and the general shape, size, 
and color of a Trails Flycatcher. Because Willow is the expected one here 
in N Colorado, that's what I thought it was. Then, as I was looking at it 
thru the bino's it belted out a little chippy brri sound. I thought it 
sounded like a miniature Robin. Despite seeing it not give the wit call of 
a Willow, that's what I thought it was and moved on in my merry birding 
way. It wasn't until I saw a Dusky Flycatcher and it reminded me that 
Willow gives a wit call and not the brri that I heard. I quickly returned 
to where I saw it but couldn't relocate it. I checked xenocanto when I got 
home and confirmed the Alder's call there. It was in the understory of a 
group of large cottonwoods directly west of the putting green  of the 
nearby golf course. 

In Fort Collins, I saw a Bobolink at Reservoir Ridge Natural Area today 
too. This marks the third year in a row that I have seen them there.

[cobirds] Myiarchus flycatcher, Roxborough SP

[Scott Somershoe]

Passing along some info.  Peter Pereira posted a photo to a Cornell Bird
Facebook page asking for ID of a Myiarchus flycatcher from Roxborough SP,
Douglas Co., and the photo was taken yesterday (11/17/15).  Looks more
brown-crested than ash-throated (because of back color), but there's just
one photo available so far and it is fairly small, even on a large monitor.
I'm not saying what it is from this one little image!

We don't know where the bird was actually found, but the bird was perched
in a juniper with snow on it.  I guess this could be brown-crested from
Chatfield Botanical Gardens from a few weeks ago, but who knows.  Birds
fly.  I'm guessing as more info is available, it'll be posted here, but
Sean Walters and I wanted to get the word out.  Wish I could go looking
around!

Good birding,

[cobirds] Willow Flycatcher CSR, El Paso Co., Friday

[Steve Brown]

Hi COBirders,

It is still slow at Clear Spring Ranch for banding. Most of the birds I banded 
today were netted before 7:15, but one of them was a Hatch-year Willow 
Flycatcher, along with a couple of expected Yellow Warblers and Gray Catbirds.

What WAS unexpected was a hen Wood Duck in a net, my first in-the-hand! 
(Unbanded, though). That was a surprise.

Good birding,

[cobirds] Gray Flycatcher, Clear Spg Ranch, El Paso Co, Thursday

[Steve Brown]

Hi COBirders,

I re-opened my banding station at CSR last week, mostly to monitor migrating 
Yellow Warblers.
Numbers have been mostly small so far, and I've mostly been banding a variety 
of Hatch-year birds, probably from local nesters. I've banded about 20 Yellow 
Warblers so far.

The past few days there have been more migrants showing up, including an adult 
GRAY FLYCATCHER today, (banded, photos available), several Yellow Warblers 
(packing fat), and a few Chipping Sparrows.

I'll post when I get interesting birds, and plan to operate most of the fall.
Good birding,

[cobirds] Gray Flycatcher carrying food in Red Canyon Park north of Canon City tonight

[SeEttaM .]

I drove up to Red Canyon Park about 20 min north of Canon City this
evening.  I spotted several Gray Flycatchers but they were quite shy,
likely still with nestlings or fledglings they are taking care of.  I found
one carrying food, looked to be a dragonfly.  It perched high on top of a
juniper and though I walked more than 50 feet away it stayed put,
apparently not going to feed it's young with me in the area so I left and
did not see if it has fledglings or babies in the nest.  It could be either
as they may be having a second nesting since there are a lot of insects to
feed young due to very rainy year.

Of note were several Lazuli Buntings singing near the entrance to the park
as well as at least one Blue Grosbeak.  More Lazuli Buntings were singing
near Four Mile Creek just a short distance from the park.  Also I spotted a
likely pair of Evening Grosbeak (adult birds perched next to each other
during breeding season) in the park.

I have uploaded pics of the Gray Flycatcher, a singing Lazuli Bunting and
an Evening Grosbeak onto my Birds and Nature blog.

[cobirds] Willow Flycatcher at Boulder Rez

[Kat Bradley-Bennett]

I took my dog for a swim on the north end of the Boulder Reservoir 
yesterday (Monday) and we heard a Willow Flycatcher singing in, well, the 
willows, along with a Yellow Warbler. There were 4 Great Egrets snoozing on 
the NW shore and Vesper Sparrows singing in the pastures. 

The Red-tailed Hawks that nested in the tree with all the Great Blue Herons 
(north of the reservoir on  N 55th) were feeding 3 hungry chicks. The 
herons seem unperturbed by their presence in their rookery.

My backyard in west Longmont saw several migrants this weekend, including 
Brewer's and Clay Colored Sparrows and a House Wren.

Thanks to David Dowell for reporting this on May 11. I refound it in the

ring is very slim, wing bars evident, and the tail dipping was, um,

[Brandon Percival]

Three happy Colorado birders just saw this bird at Scott Lake State Park in
western Kansas.  Very few US records and a first state record for KS.

[cobirds] PIRATIC FLYCATCHER in Western Kansas 5/8

['Brandon K. Percival' via Colorado Birds]

There appears to be a PIRATIC FLYCATCHER at Scott Lake State Park, in Western 
Kansas.  This is about 2.5 hours (137 miles from Lamar), since a lot of birders 
will be in Lamar over the weekend, this might be a good detour.  The bird was 
seen on the north side of the lake, right after the waterfall, and just before 
you drive over the creek.  It was in some cottonwoods/willows. Photos are on 
the ABA Rare Bird Alert facebook page.

[cobirds] Vermilion Flycatcher in Pueblo 4/5

[Brandon K. Percival]

The last location of the male Vermilion Flycatcher, was west of the Cottonwood 
Picnic Area, along the Arkansas River, between this parking lot and road bridge 
(this is east/below Pueblo Reservoir dam), Pueblo County.  It on both sides of 
the river, and seen by several people from the road bridge looking east.  The 
bird was first found by Pearle Sandstorm-Smith and Clif Smith.  Several of us 
searched for hours in the heat, and couldn't find it, Joy and Richard Lake, 
re-found it from the road bridge.  There is a territorial singing Eastern 
Phoebe under this bridge, which did chase the Vermilion Flycatcher a couple of 
times.  I'll try to post tomorrow as early as possible, if it is still present.

[cobirds] Vermilion Flycatcher in San Luis Valley

[cougar]

Hi all:

Exciting bird has been found between Del Norte and South Fork. An adult male 
Vermilion Flycatcher has been seen at Ann Cummings place near the Rio Grande. 
If you wish to see this bird you must get permission first. Call Ann at 719 
849-1750 and make arrangements. Directions to her place: From Hwy 160 between 
Del Norte and South Fork, take Hanna Lane north across the Rio Grande River. 
When you come to the T (Cty Rd 15), turn west (left) and go for about 1 mile 
until you see a rack of 5 mailboxes on the south side of the road. Take the 
immediate left (going south) on a native surface road. Keep going straight and 
it winds a bit toward the end but look for the cedar house at the end of the 
gravel road. This bird is only the third record for the San Luis Valley and one 
of about 30 (RA) for the State. 
Lisa and I saw it yesterday afternoon, but so far was not seen this morning. 

Great bird!

John R

 I queried the identification because I didn't see the bird.

 a rare bird being there.

Re: [cobirds] Re: Flycatcher?

[BirdNerd's Email]

Art, I think your statement is misguided.  The bird world is rich with the 
vocals of our feathered friends that sometimes leads to wonderful views, and 
sometimes not.   I would never pretend that the siren call I hear from a 
red-breasted nuthatch or bubbly melody of a yellow warbler means those birds 
don't exist when I don't see them.  Likewise, I can't think of many trips that 
I have taken where calls, songs, etc didn't lead me to interesting bird 
discoveries.   

I would also caution anyone about the assumption that birding is only about the 
proper ID as your statement implies.  Some of us enjoy the chase, some of us 
the listing, and some of us the experience of seeing or hearing cool wildlife 
(as my son would say).  I am sure there are dozens of reasons to bird and one 
of them for some people, I am sure, is to be able to tell what bird is making 
that sound irregardless of ever seeing it.

 Finally, making ID's only on vocals or only sight would make a poor ID 
scenario in many situations.   The fact is most determinations of anything are 
more sound when you are able to consider multiple sources of data.  Considering 
the unique nature of bird vocals it seems silly to ignore them to any extent 
when determining bird identity.

In the end they all count as birds whether you see them or not.

Mark
I commend you on your well written reply.  It is good to see that someone
with better writing skills than I has answered this abomination with
thoughtfulness and care no matter how moronic the precipitating post to
CoBirds.
Paula, you just keep listening for all those wonderful sounds of spring out
there as any good birder does.
