[cobirds] Ted Floyd talking Colorado Birds at the Tattered Cover, Colfax Ave, Tues 9/9 7 p.m. and in Steamboat Springs 9/14

Hello, CO-Birders, Greetings from flat, humid, and utterly Baird's Sparrowless Delaware, Seriously, the recent spate of Baird's Sparrows discovered in Colorado has been fascinating to watch and painful to not be able to participate in. Major congratulations on all of it and I can't wait to see

[cobirds] Re: Buff-breasted Sandpiper - Weld County (and more)

I was unable to find the Buff-breasted Sandpiper on the WCR 105 pond at 1:30 PM on Sunday, September 7. Just after I arrived a Prairie Falcon flew over the pond and about 6 peeps scattered and flew southeast. I stayed at the pond for 45 minutes but no birds returned. I did see four brightly

[cobirds] Baird's Sparrows breeding locally?

Thanks to all for the great discussion about the unfolding picture of possible breeding BAIS's at or near Drenann Road, or at least somewhere in our fair state. (I have heard that juvy sparrows beg for food in migration, but have no references. What do we actually know about that?) But I am

Hi, everybody. One more thing about this Tattered Cover event. I didn't realize until today how close to City Park the Colfax Ave. branch of the Tattered Cover is. So I'll be doing a lite, casual, fun, bring-your-own-dinner bird walk in the hour before the event. Meet at 5:45 p.m. on the west

[cobirds] Cassin's Vireo Nashville Warbler, Mesa County

I birded the Grand Junction SWA near the confluence of the Colorado and Gunnison rivers this morning. Highlights included one (possibly 2) Cassin's Vireo and a Nashville Warbler. Mike Henwood Grand Junction Mesa County -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

[cobirds] Tennessee Warbler(s) - Sandstone Ranch near Longmont - Weld County (9/8)

While birding today I bumped into Carl Starace who had found at least one and possibly two Tennessee Warblers with a flock of Wilson's Warblers. I photographed one of them. The Tennessee Warbler(s) were along the unpaved road to Evans 6 oil well just as the road descends adjacent to the cliff.

[cobirds] Kiowa and Bent Goodies

Greetings All On a whim I headed SE today. I started at Jett Res in Kiowa, which only had a few shorebirds unlike a week ago. Perhaps due to local Peregrine in attendance. Then went to Neenoshe locust grove where the scrubby locust, tamarisk and Russian Olives held 50 species of land birds.

[cobirds] El Paso County: Drennan road

Once again, went out to Drennan Road to see if I could get any of the reported birds that I haven't seen (Savannah Sparrow and McCown's Longspur). Didn't see them tonight. Buthad a lifer! Just wish I could have got it on my memory card. I had started my trip at Squirrel Creek Road pond. Went

[cobirds] RMBO Ridgway Banding Report 9/6/14 9/8/14

Hi, I'm Amber West and I will be banding at Ridgway State Park, Ouray County from 9/6 - 9-16, and at Grand Junction, Mesa County from 9/17 - 10/17. The banding so far has been fairly slow, and especially today with the rain, but it will hopefully pick up soon. On 9/6, we banded 10 new birds,

[cobirds] Colorado Gap Analysis and Baird's Sparrow

Birders, In addition to the Colorado's terrific Breeding Bird Atlas and eBird, another good source for predicting potential breeding habitats for Colorado birds is the Colorado Gap Analysis Land Cover Maps, created by an analysis of Landsat imagery. While the Gap analysis vertebrate maps are a
