[cobirds] Barr Lake Banding Visit

Hi, All! I reserved a group visit to the banding station at Barr Lake this Friday 7-11, with the intention of taking students from my school (University of Colorado Denver). I didn't get much interest, and it is now too late to cancel the trip without losing my registration fee. I'm happy to

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Station Report - Barr Lake Station, 9/14/16

Love days like this - cool early mornings, warming up enough to be pleasant but not too hot for banding! Bird captures were fairly steady all morning. Caught 60 birds, but over half had been banded previously this season. Perhaps not surprising, given the really big day we had yesterday.

[cobirds] South Mesa Trail birds this morning - Broad Winged Hawk

Hello all - I had some time this morning to get out, and thought I would check the activity at the South Mesa Trail outside of Eldorado Springs. There wasn't much activity around the parking lot, or near the creek, where I was hoping there might be a stray migrant or two.I only saw a

[cobirds] Re: Common Grackle movements in Lafayette, Boulder County

I observed a similar phenomenon a few weeks ago. For the span of about an hour, there were lots of grackles moving through my neighborhood. I watched them in my back yard, and my neighbor's back yards as well. At times I would see around 30-50 birds, then they would thin out a bit, and

[cobirds] Re: Canyon Wren/Denver County

3:20 PM still hearing it - but it isn't singing or calling as much as in the morning. If anybody comes looking for it, please park on 39th and walk south up the alley. My neighbors will get grumpy if you block the alley. Thanks, Julia On Wednesday, September 14, 2016 at 1:05:33 PM UTC-6,

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding at Chico Basin Ranch Update

Hi Everyone! We are just finishing up our second week of fall bird banding here at Chico Basin Ranch (fee area) in Pueblo County with a little over 650 new birds banded in total. We are finally starting to see an end to the 'new' (ie, not previously banded) Brown Thrashers, having now banded

[cobirds] Canyon Wren - Denver County

There is a canyon wren hanging around in the alley behind my house and neighbor's house. Heard the unmistakable song as soon as I stepped outside. Also very reddish color, white throat, dark bands on tail, and long bill. Much easier to see in town than high up on a cliff. Hung around nearby

[cobirds] Fwd: Colorado Osprey Tracking - September 14

Greetings, We are tracking an Osprey from her nest site near the Grand Lake area. We named her Shadow because her nest was on the shore of Shadow Mountain Reservoir. We also tracked her in 2013 but the satellite tracking device fell off just before 2014 spring migration. We were happy to

[cobirds] Update on the Boulder County Brown Booby

Put on your seat belts for a little update on the Brown Booby from Boulder Co. If you recall, Peter Bandurian photographed an adult female Brown Booby in Left Hand Canyon on June 22, 2016. The bird was not seen again and presumed end of the story. Not so much. A few days later, the emaciated

[cobirds] Some Weld County sites today

Headed out fairly early for me (while Dr. Mlodinow was eating second meal of the day) and thought I would try Eaton Cemetery first. The traffic along the "back way" from Fort Collins to Eaton was horrible. As Red Foxx used to say, "That's urban renewal, for ya". I arrived at Eaton Cemetery
