RE: [cobirds] Rosy report, Boulder County, Jan. 17

Cobirders, Let me go one step further than Ted did. Please “be respectful of both the birds' and the homeowners' rights. Watch from a distance, don't be loud, park safely and legally, etc.” But even better, if your Rosy Finch destination is “Lower” Ward, consider a post-rosy coffee break at M

[cobirds] No Palm Warbler at Denver West

Went to Denver West today, but didn't find Palm Warbler or Waxwings. Lots of Bushtits though, and a very nice Hooded Merganser. Thanks to the fellow birders who helped look for my lost car key...while I didn't find the Palm Warbler, I did eventually find the key in the mud and leaves. Very nice

[cobirds] Rosy report, Boulder County, Jan. 17

Hello, Birders. I wasn't going to post about the great swirling masses of rosy-finches that Graham Etherington and I saw this windy Saturday morning, Jan. 17, in Allenspark and Ward, Boulder County...but then I felt this terrible poking sensation in my eyes...hadn't felt that way since Joe Roll

[cobirds] Barrow's Goldeneye-Larimer

The pair of Barrow's Goldeneye were present on Watson Lake in Bellvue from 230-330pm today until a Bald Eagle excited the masses. Got poor but identifiable photos. Anyone looking for these birds should be aware that I saw many Goldeneye on the Poudre River upstream from the "dam". They were o

[cobirds] Barr Lake - Adams CO - >50 Bald Eagles

Birders, On our monthly bird walk today we had more than 50 Bald Eagles at Barr Lake. Thousands of white-cheeked geese and a few Snows and Ross's. The dark morph Rough-legged Hawk is still there and there was a Sharpie raiding the bird feeders. -- Ira Sanders Golden, CO -- You received this me

[cobirds] Rosy finch flocks in Como, Jefferson and Fairplay. Thanks for the CObirds reports and an announcement about new eBird hotspots.

Chuck, Thanks for your report and for making contact with the friendly, bird-loving Como-ite. Or is it Como-er??? I have enjoyed the Rosy flock there in past winters and next time I go, I plan to take a bag of the same kind of seed she has been using to defray the cost of her generous smorgasbord.

Re: [cobirds] South of South Park Jan 16

Following David's post earlier this week, I also visited Park County Friday looking for rosy-finches. At Jefferson, the feeders were empty and had no rosies. At Fairplay,I arrived in time to see three small flocks (about 25 birds each) of rosy-finches fly off. One Black Rosy-Finch returned briefly,

[cobirds] MEW GULL, South Platte Reservoir (Arapahoe)

This afternoon (4:15-50pm) I found a MEW GULL at South Platte Reservoir (Arapahoe). This very well may have been the same bird that Suddjian found there on 1/9, but, given the size of the gull flocks moving about recently, it could very possibly be a different individual. Regardless, there are
