[cobirds] New Yard Bird at 12:15am in a pouring rainstorm

Early this morning (at 15 minutes or so after midnight) as I was getting into bed, I heard a commotion coming thru the sounds of rain and my apartment bedroom window. Normally noises in my neighborhood at this hour involve college kid parties, one dog we can only hope never learns how to blog,

[cobirds] Home Lake warblers!

I birded Home Lake this morning. This is always a good place to bird when the winds are gusty like today. Anyway, it was a great joy to see Warblers again! Orange-crowned, Yellow-rumped, and a Wilson's (at my house), plus Hermit Thrush, Cassins Finch, Pine Siskins, Greater Yellowlegs and

[cobirds] White-winged Doves Boulder County

We have a small population of white wing doves (2 or 3 that we have seen) in our neighborhood, near Lake McIntosh. Beautiful birds! We have some pretty photos if anyone is interested. I posted them on Boulder County Audubon Facebook page. Enjoy. Donna Nespoli Longmont CO -- You received this

[cobirds] Palm Warbler, Greenlee Preserve, Boulder County

Hello, Birders. I checked out Greenlee Preserve, Boulder County, during an early lunch break this morning, Thursday, April 21st. An interesting bird was an early PALM WARBLER, singing and calling quite a bit, but generally unforthcoming; I didn't get a great look at the bird, but I assume it

[cobirds] LOcation Clarification for Boulder Yellow-throated Vireo

To clarify the location of the Yellow-throated Vireo I reported today. The Skunk Creek Greenway Trail and the Boulder Creek Path meet on the University of Colorado Research Park/East Campus. The spot is just west of where Arapahoe Avenue crosses Boulder Creek. Alex Brown Boulder -- You

[cobirds] Boulder Yellow-throated Vireo

I tried with success for the Yellow-throated Vireo reported this afternoon by Alex Brown on CU's East Campus. I found the bird somewhat south of where Alex first found it, but it was still associating with a flock of about 20 or so Yellow-rumped Warblers that were mainly Myrtles. This was the

[cobirds] BL Kittiwake remains at Windsor L, WELD

Greetings All, I wandered around various parts of w. Weld County today. I started at Crow Valley, which was slowish, and had nothing notable. The rarest bird of the day was the lingering BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE and Windsor Lake. It was swimming in the middle of the lake, until a Bald Eagle

I took a quick hike through Prospect Park this afternoon on my way to Evergreen for the Bear Creek Watershed BBA meeting. In the park, I had 1 FOY Chipping Sparrow, 2 FOY Audubon's Warblers, copulating red-shafted Northern Flickers, and 2 Cinnamon Teal males in Clear Creek. I did not see Hugh's

[cobirds] Boulder Co. SEDGE WREN, other highlights from 4/21/11

Dear Birders, As was noted by others, a fantastic day of birding. Best bird of the day, other than the previously reported YELLOW-THROATED VIREO (Confluence ponds, SW of Arapahoe and Foothills Parkway, 5 pm), was a calling SEDGE WREN in the extensive cattail marsh just south of the Eagle

[cobirds] Baird's Sparrows, Yuma County

All, While working in Yuma County today I found 2 Baird's Sparrows in sand-sage habitat near Wray. Both birds sang spontaneously just once each; both also gave their distinctive, high, contact calls and were reluctant to fly. This seems to be a great time of year to search for this and other

[cobirds] Godwits at Lake Holbrook-need help with id

Yesterday I found 4 godwits at Lake Holbrook, located north of La Junta, in the lower Arkansas Valley. The lake level is fairly low so the shoreline was distant and even with my Zeiss 40-60 zoom maxed out I could not be sure if these were Marbled or the rare Hudsonian Godwits. I took photos in
