I photographed a white-winged, Red Crossbill last year in Clear Creek County.
Thanks John for reminding us that some 1st year Red Crossbills can indeed have
white wing-bars.

I also had a male Red Crossbill (Type 2) showing narrow white wingbars
along Meadow Road in Park earlier this month. That is between Pine Junction
and Bailey. It was the only such that I recall seeing. On that Red
individual the wingbars were less bold than on the White-winged, in my
limited
David, John, Glenn, and All,
This is a nice thread about a subject I don't recall ever coming up on COBIRDS.
I was with Janeal and Jane today at Denver West trying for the Pine Warbler
(which we did NOT find, despite finding the bushtits, the juncos, the
nuthatches, the chickadees, and many
Birders,
I'd like to thank Mark Peterson for posting both about four adult Tundra
Swans at the Avondale Water Treatment Ponds, and mapping correctly where the
ponds are. Numerous birders got to see the birds today, and they were still
present this afternoon. For those not inclined to download
CO Birders :
The MAMBO group visited two feeders at Victor this morning , one in the north
west part of town and another south of town at the intersection of 5th and Lee
. Overall numbers of rosy finches around 30 to 40 were mainly Grey -crowned and
Hepburn's , 6 Black and 2 Brown-capped .

A cautionary tale .
A group of us searching this afternoon for the White-winged Crossbills
reported by David Sudjian in Park County along CR 98 recently found a type 4
male Red Crossbill with two narrow white wing bars along CR 403 .
Disappointment at first but just second
Birders,
I have not yet seen the Rosy-Finches this morning but there isn't much
around at all so there may be an accipiter hanging around.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank those who have dropped off seed
or offered to contribute to the seed fund. The seed and the offers are
appreciated.
Well said Dave and Eric.
I think that the numbskulls need to be outed and treated as the pariahs
they deserve to be. If I'm doing something stupid like that I expect to be
called on it. I hope the morons who are doing it here and other places get
called out in public.

I absolutely agree 100% with Eric on this one. Well written, my friend. When I
had the privilege of an extremely rare bird in my yard in 2007, I had over 400
people visit my home to view the Streak-backed Oriole under pretty strict
conditions. Still, there was a select group that chose to not
I feel terrible about this. In retrospect I would not have told anyone
about the Woodcock. I care way more about the bird than being the one who
found it.

Hi COBirders,
Duane Nelson called me earlier this morning to report 4 adult Tundra Swans at
the Avondale sewage ponds. I believe these were found yesterday but I think
Duane found them independently.
Here is a map showing the location (I think).

Here's a link to an Ebird checklist (with photo of these swans):

Ebird flagged the report as a rarity, but the sighting didn't get into the
Ebird rarity
All,
The Woodcock, and all the observers, were behaving beautifully this
morning. The bird was easy to see from the road with telescope filling
views. To me, this bird looks very healthy and feeding well (fresh dirt on
bill), even with all the attention.
Cheers, Peter Gent.
Boulder.
