[cobirds] Lamar (Prowers) and nearby places of late

It's been windy of late in Lamar, like everywhere else. But I'll put southeastern CO up against anywhere for meteorological extremes. We need to invent some new weather descriptors. Sunday the big, ominous cloud approaching town from the west was the color of milk chocolate. The small

[cobirds] Re: Long-tailed Duck, Rocky Mtn Lake, Denver county

Hi all -- The Long-tailed Duck continues as of 4:00 this afternoon. Shameless pitch: Bluff Lake's bird walk is this Saturday, 8 - 10 am. Should be good -- I've had a gnatcatcher, hermit thrush, cowbird and several other migrants there in the last week. Chris Rurik Denver, CO On Tuesday,

[cobirds] hummingbirds and white throated swifts

[cobirds] Re: Colorado Springs Recent Sightings 4/28-30 (El Paso)

Forgot also to add an *American Dipper *in Manitou Springs yesterday (4/29), at the north end of downtown along Fountain Creek. This seemed especially strange as they are digging out sediment in the creekbed, so there was heavy machinery within 20 ft. up- and downstream and the water was murky

[cobirds] Marston Reservoir, Denver

Some shorebirds are still at the south end of Marston Reservoir. I saw 6, Marbled Godwits, 2, American Avocet, 1, Willet and 5, Franklin's Gull in the south area. Several days ago there were at least 190-200 Franklin's Gulls at Marston, but their numbers disappeared quickly. Western Grebes

[cobirds] Hepatic Tanager also in Lamar Woods this morning

I was again surprised today to find a Hepatic Tanager this morning in Lamar Woods, surely the one reported by Scott Severs from this afternoon. Winds this morning, while not as awful as yesterday, were still very strong and this tanager stayed mostly in thickets. I got one good photo of this
