Hello, Birders.
In the U.K., they call it vismig, cutsie Brit shorthand for visible
migration. Anyhow, I got me some yesterday morning, Sat., Sept. 22nd, at
Walden Ponds, Boulder County:
1. A steady flight of high-flying, generally southbound Audubon's Warblers;
2. An immature Red-headed
Hi Everyone--
Today 9/22 I went down to Pueblo Reservoir, where I ran into Brandon
Percival. Brandon already posted, so I'll just mention that on the way out
of Pueblo, I saw a White-winged Dove fly east over CO-45 toward Pueblo City
Park. I headed toward Last Chance on US-24. At MP 363 (14 miles
Hello, Birders.
Just a quick note to let folks know that early this morning at Teller Lake No.
5 (a.k.a. North Teller Lake), there were TWO, i.e., (1+5^0.5)/phi, Pectoral
Sandpipers. (And zero dowitchers.) Things are in constant transition at Teller,
so good to keep looking for stuff out
I've been watch a very nice pulse of Broad-winged Hawk migration including a
groups of 4 and 6 in SW Longmont. Seems that they may have spent the night near
old town as most have been low and moving NE to SW. At 12 total.
Also 2 N Harriers

Joyce Takemine and Sandy Arnesen came down from Boulder this morning and we
birded spots below Pueblo Reservoir dam. Before they arrived, I found aWestern
Palm Warbler, along the south side of the river, near Snakeskin Picnic Area.
We finally were able to re-find the bird. We checked
Roselawn Cemetery, founded in 1947, is a newer and lesser known cemetery in the
eastern part of Fort Collins (Larimer). It is just northeast of the
intersection of Mulberry (SR14) and Summitview (i.e., east of where the Poudre
River crosses Mulberry about half way (1+ mile) to I-25, or

I found a White-eyed Vireo that may be the same one reported over a week
ago. A Wood Thrush also stopped by for a quck visit. I couldn't tell if it
had been banded. I found a Long-eared Owl and then a few minutes later had
Looks like we have a Red-necked Phalarope (juvenile?) in the western half
of the lake.
I just made a quick stop there at 3PM.
Just checked ebird and did not see any other recent posts re RN Phalarope
in Boulder County
so I thought this might be of interest.
A Pectoral Sandpiper might be in the

I think this is a female 1st winter Blackburnian warbler which I saw at the
Florence River park today but I would appreciate any comments

I also got to see the Black and Eastern phoebes that SeEtta had reported.
Thanks

Today, I went to Belmar to see if the warbler flock reported was still around.
On the west side of Koonze Lake, I found a PALM WARBLER. He was hanging with a
few Yellow-rumps, one Orange-crowned Warbler, and a Wilson Warbler. This area
can be found after crossing the small foot bridge (walking
Yesterday my husband and I hiked at Red Mountain Open Space -- almost to
the Wyoming border. Exciting for us to see were *canyon wren*, *ruby-crowned
kinglet, and a thrush, probably hermit, *among many sparrows, finches,
meadow larks, and a family of four* golden eagles*, two juvenile and two
Yep, a juvenile Red-necked Phalarope. Hannah and I saw and heard it this
evening, Sunday, Sept. 23rd, at sundown. The two Pectoral Sandpipers were
out there, too.
Take only memories, leave only footprints--and one orange shoe . . .

I have received several replies, some people think this bird is a blackpoll
and others think it is a blackburnian.
Here are a couple more pictures that sort of show the back of bird::

COBirders,
I had until noonish to bird today so I decided to head east to the Flagler
area. It was well worth it and one of the best days of birding I have ever had
around there. Despite the windy conditions it was amazingly birdie. I should
have known there were going to be some weird

Hello all!
My wife and I took my parents out to Crow Valley this afternoon (12:45-2ish
in the campground) for some mild birding and to enjoy the dry prairie along
the birding trail route. We weren't extremely serious about our birding (I
was the only one with binoculars), but we were able to
Hawkers,
After deciding not to go to my favorite hawk watch west of Boulder, I
decided to see who would float over near my home in SW Longmont today. I
ended up seeing a departure (over a 2.5 hr period) of 16 Broad-winged Hawks
from Longmont, most less than 200m off the ground. It appeared that
