[cobirds] Ovenbird, Boulder, CO
I saw a singing male Ovenbird on the Mesa Trail south of Bear Canyon Trailhead actively working the area both sides of the trail north of the Fern Canyon cutoff trail and the Mesa Trail split. I had seen a singing male Ovenbird on the 1st just south of Bear Creek on the Mesa Trail. I also saw the Prairie Falcons flying out of the canyon twice. The only other unusual sighting was blue sky.

[cobirds] Ovenbird Boulder
All: Dan Zmolek and I discovered a singing ovenbird in Boulder Mountain Park where Bear Creek intersects the Mesa Trail. Go about 100 yards south from here (uphill) and listen for the bird singing in the early morning. We also lugged a scope up to the prairie falcon nest site in Bear Canyon (continue up the Mesa Trail from Bear Creek and take the 1st trail to the right - Bear Canyon / Bear Mountain trail), and found that there are 5 chicks on the nest! Two of them look 2/3 grown. An adult came in with a small mammal and fed all five. Pretty interesting.-John T, Boulder Audubon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

[cobirds] ovenbird Boulder Mt Park
Cobirds: An ovenbird was singing near the upper part of Bear Creek Trail, in Boulder Mountain Park today (Sunday). Go up the Bear Creek Trail south of NCAR and cross the drainage; another 100 yards up on the right listen for the bird. Its in a dense section of doug fir, ponderosa, and mountain maple. Unfortunately you cannot go off trail here, as its posted for revegetation. Good luck - John T (Tumasonis), Boulder County Audubon --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Join us at the 2009 Convention in Alamosa: http://cfo-link.org/convention/index.php You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.
