I stopped by the east bay of Timnath Reservoir at dusk on Sunday. Water level
is diminishing rapidly, creating great habitat for Buff-breasted Sandpiper, but

Hello all,
With this past weekend's notice from West Slopers that Cassin's Vireos
and Townsend's Warblers are arriving, I thought I'd add that this
morning I had a female Wilson's Warbler at my office in Interlocken,
Broomfield County. I'm not sure if anyone else has seen one yet on the
Hello,
With the recent split of Winter Wren into two North American species
(Pacific and Winter) by the American Ornithologists' Union, the Colorado
Bird Records Committee (CBRC) is attempting to determine what the status
and distribution of each of the two species are in the state, especially
David Sibley has an interesting little blog on this new split.
It can be found here:

Which emphasizes the fact that this will be (and already has been!) a
very challenging split.
Thank you for any insight,

Hi COBirders,
I visited Timnath Reservoir this morning from 10am to 1pm. Jim and Karen
Schmoker, and Ray and Joan Glabach were also there enjoying the Everglades-like
spectacle. We visited the East Bay, the reservoir view at the NE corner in the
subdivision and finally, Timnath Park on the
To make matters even more confusing, the IOC split Winter Wren into 3 species
-- Eurasian, Eastern Winter, and
Western Winter. For those who are world listers, you might have 3 ticks

See www.worldbirdnames.org and look for Version 2.5.

Technically speaking AOU actually made this split as well. Notice that the
Eastern Winter has also been split from the nominate form as Troglodytes
hiemalis. Although in this case, I doubt Eurasian Wren is likely to show up
in North America.
