We have cranes on the ground for the third night. Thursday we had 65 spend the night and leave about 8:30 am. Friday was our big night with cranes arriving at 4 pm and not leaving until 10am today. Today we had almost given up when a large flight landed and is now settled for the night. I

[cobirds] El Paso county --- Red-necked Grebe, 10/17/2015

COBirders, I made a quick stop at Big Johnson reservoir around midday today and found a RED-NECKED GREBE in the "northeast" corner of the reservoir.  It was not really associating with anything else.  Most of the other large grebes were in the "northwest" corner.  Nothing else of real note but

[cobirds] Eastern Colorado Saturday

Kathy Mihm-Dunning and I headed out east to see if ANY migrants were about. Well there WERE some migrants at every stop. Flagler SWA: Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - 1 Eastern Phoebe - 1 Blue-headed Vireo - 1 Winter Wren - 1 American Robin - 0, NONE! Zilch!

[cobirds] More Sandhill Cranes near CCSP, Arapahoe County

Hi all, 4-5 large waves of Sandhill Cranes just passed by our house near the SW corner of Cherry Creek State Park. Quite a glorious sight. They were headed in a southeast direction. Happy migration! Mary Keithler, Arapahoe County Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because

[cobirds] Re: [NATURE-NET] More Cranes, Boulder Co.

Todd, these birds are just going over us now, about 5-600 as ou said, and boomeranging off any thermals that they find. So with all the circling they came SW instead, and reached the Lagerman area in a lazy half hour. As the groups break up in the thermals and then rejoin in Vs, they make a

[cobirds] CSR. El Paso Co, Saturday

Hi COBirders, A good arrival of sparrows and Ruby-crowned Kinglets this morning at Clear Spring Ranch. Best was my third White-throated Sparrow of the week. Also a couple of Sandhill Cranes flew over - but not hundreds, this morning. Last day for my banding season is tomorrow. Rough total for

[cobirds] Crane flight in progress, Boulder County

Hi, all. Hannah Floyd is bombarding me with texts and photos of cranes flying over Boulder County. She's at or near the ballfields at 47th and Foothills/Diagonal. If you're in downtown Boulder, they're up there RIGHT NOW. Ted Floyd Lafayette (currently craneless), Boulder County -- You

[cobirds] Sandhill Cranes Boulder foothills

I left home at dawn and spent all morning in eastern Boulder County trying in vain to find Sandhill Cranes. Ted Floyd in the field and Cheryl at home had to listen to my whining about it. Then, back home at 1 pm, Cheryl yelled from our yard, "David, I hear birds!!" I estimated about 300 seen

[cobirds] Sandhill Cranes, Boulder at 12, then Broomfield at 1230

Saw about 100 cranes flying south-southeast over the Boulder Humane Society (~Arapahoe & 55th) at about noon today. Arriving home near the 1st bank center in Broomfield just now, watched a flock of about 100 catching a thermal overhead! Maybe the same group. Continued heading south. So cool! Good

[cobirds] Ibis at Cottonwood Marsh, Boulder County

CoBirders, I observed a juvenile Glossy/White-faced Ibis this morning at Cottonwood Marsh in Boulder County. The bird appeared overall dark to me, with no noticeable white marks on the face, grayish bill and legs. At that point a hunter's gun flushed the bird along with many ducks and a few

[cobirds] Boulder Ibis ID

Initially I was leaning to White-faced Ibis ID, but after studying my photos and field guides I'm leaning to Glossy but not sure. Before I read Peter Burke's most recent email, I too had changed my eBird report from White-faced to White-faced/Glossy. I just don't know. I don't know if my
