[cobirds] Sabine's Gulls/Timnath Reservoir

[cobirds] Some Boulder (and Union Res.) birds on Sept. 8

[cobirds] Swainson's Warbler - Barr Lake 7/7

Yesterday I birded around Barr Lake (actually forgot about the birding festival) and things started out pretty slow. However at around 9:30 AM (near the white colored house) in the ditch I pished and a bird popped up that I was unfamiliar with, but my impression was that it wqs a Swainson's

[cobirds] Swainson's Warbler - Barr Lake 7/7

Sorry I am not very good with directions (nor sense of direction). If you are headed from the visitors center toward the gazebo there is a white colored house that will be on your left across the ditch (almost across from the first short trail that takes you to a blind). It was at the corner
