Re: [cobirds] Re: The Rare Bird Alert

[Diana Beatty]

As I was explaining to John, if you follow the instructions in my post you
can setup county rare bird alerts and needs alerts through eBird so in the
cases you mentioned you would get a notification.  The alerts will tell you
of any bird flagged by eBird as rare in the given location if it is a rare
bird alert, or will tell you of any bird you have not yet seen in the given
location as recorded in your eBird data if you set up a needs alert.  It is
very easy to do.

[cobirds] Re: The Rare Bird Alert

[Dave Cameron]

I have that exact same question.  Also, I'm no ebird wizard, but I use it 
to look up specific species and recent sightings, mostly when travelling.  
But unless I know that a certain species has already been reported in a 
certain county, how will I know?  If they're unexpected, I won't know to 
expect to look for reports on them!

Examples:  The Fork-tailed in Boulder a couple of years ago; the 
Golden-crowned out East, that same year; a shorebird at a wildlife area 
I've never been to; a warbler that might not be a rarity, but might be a 
life bird, and uncommon enough to make the report.  

I think we're losing a lot, with the demise of the RBA.  I hope that, 
unlike the CFO facebook page (which is largely photo-based, or 
ID-help-request-based), that the Colorado Rare Bird Alert facebook page can 
step in as a place we can all post more reports than photo albums, and 
strictly about actually uncommon birds.  I don't know how ebird can replace 
the RBA.

[cobirds] Re: COLORADO RARE BIRD ALERT for Thursday, May 21, 2020

[David Gulbenkian]

Re: Black Vulture Wheatridge Greenbelt

I saw this bird too, from the WGB bike path at 10 AM, over Golden, circling 
higher and seemingly headed north.  Most striking was the extremely short 
tail.
Next, a large white wing patch repeatedly visible in one wing.  When I got 
home, after consulting guidebooks, I talked myself out of
reporting a Black Vulture, opting for an immature Golden.  The bird seemed 
huge (and I had a Swainson's Hawk in the same field of view to help). 
 Also, the
white patch in the wing was quite large, and not, I think, in the wingtips 
but more in.  
On the other hand, no white band was seen in the tail, and the tail was 
just sooo short.

[cobirds] Re: Colorado Rare Bird Alert for Monday, May 27, 2019

['Allison Hilf' via Colorado Birds]

Joe-
Things are finally quieting down the last few days.   Given bird’s are moving, 
I haven’t been leaving them more than 4-5 days if not seen again.

I’ve been ignoring so many Nashville and stopped Northern Parula. And most 
Black and White Warbler a while ago.   Trying to list warblers as people are 
chasing them and seem to finally appreciate RBA.

Looking at June schedule perhaps Gregg will split that third week in June (he 
could do 10-11 days instead of 7, then you would only have 10-11 days to 
follow?)

I’ll send note to Cheryl again, perhaps she’s still out of town.
