[cobirds] Common Mergansers-lots! At Chatfield

As the fog lifted this morning over the Chatfield swim beach (Jefferson Co) about 250+ Common Mergansers were revealed. Mostly sleeping, resting. Probably more goodies out further but still a bit foggy. Mary Geder Jefferson Co. Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are

[cobirds] Possible Arctic Tern, Chatfield Douglas, Co.

Folks, I spent some time studying an interesting sterna tern on the Chatfield sandspit this morning.  The bird is small, with a small dark bill, except a reddish center and inner bill.  In flight, the primaries were fairly uniform gray with white secondaries and secondary covert tips.  The

Hello, Yesterday morning Sally Swain and I spotted a perched Swainson's Hawk along 79th St. in Niwot just north of the transfer station. We've been seeing one along this section of road all season. Later, as I excited the car at the upper lot at Sandstone Ranch a really dark Merlin took

Here are some pictures of the juvenile plumage, Arctic Tern from Chatfield. http://www.pbase.com/gwalbek/2015_birds He has been sitting on the end of the sandspit, taking off to fill up on gizzard shad and returning to the sandspit. At first glance he could be overlooked as a Common Tern,

[cobirds] Green Heron, Lake Estes, Estes Park, Larimer Co. 10/2

We've been enjoying a nice fall visit in Colorado for the past week, but, until today, I didn't have anything special to report. This morning we had a nice sunny walk in the Matthews-Reeser Bird Sanctuary at Lake Estes in Estes Park. We were out on the pine covered peninsula that juts into

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Station at Barr, 10-2-15

A nice cool morning with a great mix of species! Two new species for the season, both of which are unusual captures for the station: We started the day with a lovely (and very feisty) young male Rose-breasted Grosbeak. We also had a young Nashville Warbler, who had managed to survive what

[cobirds] Chatfield Arctic Tern

I saw the Arctic Tern at Chatfield SP on the sand spit at about 3 pm for a half hour. The photos I took I believe confirm the initial id made by Glenn Walbek. It is a first year bird. The carpal bar is not dark enough for a Common Tern and the secondaries in flight are pale, The secondary

Re: [cobirds] Possible Arctic Tern, Chatfield Douglas, Co.

At around 5:30 this evening, I spotted this Tern that looks quite a bit like that seen by Glenn today. What leads me to believe this is the same Arctic Tern is the rounded head, lighter carpal bar and pale gray primaries. I've attached a picture, which as usual is nowhere as good as Glenn's

[cobirds] Northern Mockingbird & Pine Siskin - Botanic Gardens & Cheesman (Denver)

This morning, I came upon a Northern Mockingbird in Denver Botanic Gardens. It made its way, with many of the Gardens' junco and flicker, over into Cheesman, where I saw it briefly around the flower beds near the pavilion. Those beds were also drawing robin, junco, Clay-colored Sparrow, and a
