[cobirds] Peregrine Falcon near Canon City

I found an adult Peregrine Falcon perched on a snag above the Arkansas River just east of Canon City on Tuesday. As this was across from my friend's place I was able to drive to a position less than 200 feet away and partially obscured by a tree which allowed me to watch this bird for an hour at a

[cobirds] Marston Reservoir,Denver County

This evening, 9/2, I saw 3, Common Loons swimming on Marston Reservoir. I know this is not rare but I thought it was a bit early for them to show up. They were seen from Bow Mar dr. but then they were almost in the middle of the lake. Happy Birding! Tina Jones Littleton, Jefferson County,CO

[cobirds] Boulder Rose-breasted Grosbeak

I had what I'm pretty sure is a Rose-breasted Grosbeak in my yard today. It's a plumage I'm not used to seeing, so If someone wants to persuade me it's a Rose-breasted/Black-headed hybrid, I would listen. In case others are interested in seeing what this bird looks like, here's a link with three

[cobirds] Boulder Gray Flycatcher

Hey everyone, I just had a tail-dipping GRAY FLYCATCHER sitting on a fence wire in a prairie dog colony north of the Spring Brook Loop trail in the Eldorado Mtn Open Space near Eldorado Springs, Boulder Co. Next to it were a SAGE THRASHER and a BREWER'S SPARROW. Great Birding, Christian Nu

[cobirds] Stearns Lake, Boulder County

Walked around Stearns Lake this morning from 8 to 9. There was nothing on the water except 1 lone Great Blue Heron and a couple of mallards. The water is still very high; there are small shores for sandpipers along the path toward the dam end of the lake. The best sighting was a red-tailed hawk si
