Geese a plenty, Thank you, Tina Jones, I went over to Ft Logan Cemetery (Denver,Colorado) today 11/17/13 and I must say the goose variety was represented properly. 2 Greater White-fronted joined the crowd, 2 Ross's (adults) were still present, a single Snow Goose (white-morph) replaced the bl

[cobirds] Boulder Warblers

There were a lot of birders enjoying the show at Center Green Drive in Boulder today in the sun and wind. The Pine and Northern Parula ate non-stop in the aphid tree while the Bay-breasted would take breaks for an hour and disappear. It's surprising that warblers are the only birds taking advan

I should also mention for anyone that is thinking about trying to find this bird that Banner Lakes SWA is only open on Saturdays through Monday and closed Tues-Fri.. It is a hunting area, so you may encounter hunters. And the Rangers are more than happy to give tickets if they find you there w

[cobirds] Pine Warbler...when did it arrive in the tree?

I went to Center Green Dr. a little over a week ago and observed the Bay-breasted Warbler in the pine at the same time as Peter Gent and Peter Burke were there. On Saturday, I came back with Bill Kaempfer and John Vanderpoel's trip to look at the warbler. We joined a group from the WBC led by Ste

Yes, the exact same tree that has hosted the Bay-breasted Warbler on Center Green Dr. since 11/7. When I arrived to see the parula a little before 10am, it was pointed out to me that a Pine Warbler was also being seen. All three warbler species were being observed at the same time. I left aroun

Re: [cobirds] Re: November Warbler Summary Update

This is an interesting thread. Brandon is correct in answering David Leatherman's question, of "what's next?" with the reply, "pretty much anything." And there are specific, evidence-based answers to David's intriguing question: First, *Pine Warbler* is not our only "winter warbler." That status

[cobirds] Canada Goose Cross ID Help

I saw a couple of very unusual Canada Geese Crosses at City Park in Denver on Saturday the 16th. One was too far out in the large large lake for a good photo, but one by Duck Pond was much closer ... walking around near the road. I think it might be a Snow Goose/Canada Goose cross. That's what
