[cobirds] EVIL BIRDERS

Greetings All I'll fess up I am the evil birder who spent an entire day looking for birds and bugs in Kiowa County, visiting every wet spot that I could. Indeed, Piping Plovers were far from my mind, as I had misread Duane's rambling email: I thought there were no Pipings breeding in the sta

Re: [cobirds] Re: House Wrens increasing

Could this increase in wrens in the foothills and plains be due to the cool and very rainy May? It was just cool down here but cold above 8500'. We had our first nesting wren in my neighborhood in Louisville in 11 years. Wrens were much scarcer on my Indian Peaks bird count this year. The tot

[cobirds] ebird - hiding records from output

Folks, When submitting via computer you can hide the output by checking a box on the right menu "Hide from eBird Output." This is not a feature for mobile versions. In this case wait to submit your record when you return home. I suggest that birders use this feature when happening upon a nesting

[cobirds] Re: House Wrens increasing in Denver

Just to add some available information to the HOWR issue: House Wrens are usually the second most commonly caught species at our Chatfield banding station (after Yellow Warblers). We assume that the vast majority of those we catch are summer residents (rather than migrating through). What we'
