[cobirds] Huerfano County Update: Scissor-tailed Flycatcher and Bobolinks

2015-05-30 Thread Polly Neldner
Decided to drive out County Road 358 for a short distance while Paul was in town with a client. Was very surprised to find a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher sitting on a barbed wire fence!

The Cedar Waxwings arrived yesterday - a big flock came into the station area as we were finishing closing the nets. One actually perched briefly on the top trammel of the last open net as we arrived to close it, did the bird equivalent of thumbing his nose at us, and took off. Today we manage

The wife and I found two Bobolinks on Shumway Road, east of Fountain, CO. They are on the east side of the dirt road, in the hay/alfalfa field. They would drop into the tall hay to disappear, then pop back up to the fence wire. Aaron and Pati Driscoll Colorado Springs -- You received this messa

2015-05-30 Thread David Suddjian
Coincidentally I birded areas in Ken Caryl Ranch on May 29-30 and counted Ovenbirds, although my effort was not focused on that species, and I walked trails or cross-country and did not sample point counts. I visited much (but not all) of the suitable and reasonably accessible habitat in the Massey

Hi Everyone- This morning 5/30 I got up early and walked around Golden Ponds in Longmont. I walked in by the dirt trail. Once I got to the St Vrain, I immediately heard two Red-eyed Vireos singing. It took some patience to see them high up in the cottonwoods. Western Tanagers and Western Wood-P
