[cobirds] Teller Gulls

Greetings All On Sunday, I saw a pallid gull that superficially resembled the gull photographed by David. It sounds like the bird some others have seen, being smaller and longer winged than nearby Herring Gulls and is undoubtedly a Thayer's. The bird photographed by David looks to me to be a

[cobirds] Low key big green year, Fort Collins based

Greetings - I saw Nick Komar today, checking out redpolls at the Discovery Center Museum in Fort Collins. I mentioned to him that I am doing a big green year and he encouraged me to tell others about it. Mine will be a low key effort, nothing to match the BIGBY that Christian Nunes did in

[cobirds] South Platte (Adams), Teller 5 (Boulder) 1/26

Hi Everyone-- This morning 1/26, I went over to Teller Lake #5 and ran into the CFO crowd looking at gulls. We saw lots of Herring and Thayer's Gulls, at least 4 Lesser Black-backed Gulls, a few Ring-billed Gulls, and that amazing adult Iceland Gull. I drove over to Boulder Creek at 75th, where I

[cobirds] Cohorts

The ABAblog on redpolls that Ted Floyd cited the other day goes into amazing depthsfor a casual bird watcher who might sink in the esoteric literature onredpolls, DNA, statistics, etc. One minorpoint, though, that Bill Schmoker mentioned, raises a question I have

[cobirds] Hairy and American Three-toed Woodpecker Question

I was up cross-country skiing in the vicinity of Breckenridge and Silverthorne recently and now I have a woodpecker question. While I was going along, I heard a woodpecker on a tree and decided to investigate. I pulled out my binoculars and saw what looked like a strange Hairy Woodpecker. This

[cobirds] DFO trip - Pueblo County

Birders, Today we led the DFO field trip to Pueblo Lake State Park. I was unaware that hunting is allowed in the state park only a hundred yards from the south marina. This clearly accounted for the poor numbers of water birds. Highlights: South Marina: Great Black-backed Gull (adult)
