[cobirds] Greater white fronted geese

I also have a pair of greater white fronted geese on my pond today. This was the first time that I had a pair show up as opposed to a single goose. I've been enjoying a couple of pairs of a hooded mergansers and an occasional goldeneye here on the pond. The mergansers have been here for

[cobirds] Grandview Cemetery (Fort Collins, Larimer) of late

As reported by Joe Mammoser and Cade Cropper recently, there is at least one newly-arrived Yellow-bellied Sapsucker at Grandview Cemetery in Fort Collins at the west end of Mountain Avenue (Larimer). Starting about last mid-week (14Nov) Joe found, and I saw briefly, a sapsucker which we both

The Dunlin was still present at about 9 this morning. Many thanks to Mel Goff and his wife for their assistance in locating it. It was hanging around with about 4 Killdeer. Bill Kosar Colorado Springs On Saturday, November 17, 2012 1:30:52 PM UTC-7, Brandon Percival wrote: Aaron Shipe

[cobirds] Dust Bowl (NO SIGHTINGS)

The Dust Bowl, Ken Burns' new series, premieres tonite (at least here in Chicago) on PBS . . . it contains a fair amount of material about SW Kansas, SE Colorado and the OK/TX Panhandles, as you might imagine . . . sebastianpa...@hotmail.com Sebastian T. Patti (Lincoln Park) Chicago,

[cobirds] Mountain Lakes

Dick Schottler and I ran the mountain lakes loop. Many waterbirds have left (except for American Coot and Bufflehead). Weather up north is still too nice with Idaho and Montana still having highs in the 50s and lows just shy of freezing. Thus, I think no real movement of waterfowl into

[cobirds] Lily Lake, RMNP, Larimer Co. -- Rough-legged Hawk, no redpolls, 11/18

We're in Colorado for a Thanksgiving visit. I had been reading about the Common Redpolls at Lily Lake in Rocky Mtn. Nat. Park and worried they would have moved on by the time we got here. Sure enough, no sign of them when I walked around the lake this afternoon. But I had a wonderful

[cobirds] Rosy-Finch, Ward, Boulder County

Saw a group of Gray-crowned and Black Rosy-Finch around 3 pm today in Ward. They were perched atop a snag above a bird feeder at a house on the main drag, (a.k.a. Utica St., Indiana Gulch Road, or CO highway 95) a bit south of town, east side of the road. This house does not, unfortunately,

[cobirds] northern Pygmy owl - Bobcat Ridge, Larimer County

Joel and I were hiking this morning at Bobcat Ridge Natural Area, and at about 11:00 am we saw a Northern Pygmy Owl perched atop a mullein seed spike. We stopped to observe and it remained in place until some bicyclists came by, moving another 10 yards away to perch atop a sumac bush. It stayed

[cobirds] redpolls in the Pawnee 11/18

Hi Everyone-- Today 11/18 I went out to the Pawnee Grasslands. I drove up WCR 57 to WCR 100, and went west. About At 1.5 miles, I stopped and listened for longspurs. It took a while, but I finally did get good fly-by looks at a couple of Laplands. A Ferruginous Hawk flew north over WCR 100. I

[cobirds] Golden-crowned Sparrow - Red Rocks

The Golden-crowned Sparrow made a very brief appearance this morning behind the Red Rocks Trading Post. It seems the best bet for viewing this bird is to arrive by 7:00 and ante up some fresh birdseed -- the activity this generates with Scrub-Jays, Juncos (5), Towhees, Chickadees, etc. lure him
