[cobirds] Chatfield 9/16 and Ken Caryl Valley 9/17

Yesterday I spent a short time at Chatfield SP early in the morning, without finding too much of note. The best for me for the park was a female *Williamson's Sapscuker* along the path leading to the Original Heronry Overlook platform. She flew into some pines there, then after a short time flew

[cobirds] Re: Is there a better way to spend a full moon, almost autumnal equinox Saturday?

I'm starting to look at my (low-quality) photos, and I still favor the ID we had in the field for Jaegers 1 and 2 at Jumbo: Adult Parasitic. I will upload some photos soon. It appears I photographed Jaeger 3 earlier by accident while I was photographing another, not realizing yet that we

[cobirds] Is there a better way to spend a full moon, almost autumnal equinox Saturday?

Sorry for posting without any geographical specifics in the title. This report is for a come-what-may day trip "out east". Good birds, good weather, good birding friends John Vanderpoel and I started out early this morning to track down the Dunning/Kellner/Lawrence mega-numbers of

[cobirds] Marston Res, Denver Co - Common Loon

I've stopped by Marston a couple times this week to see what was around. Significant turnover of western and eared grebes and various waterfowl. In a quick stop today, I had a basic plumage common loon and a lone red-necked phalarope getting dizzy spinning in circles. A few redheads were tucked

[cobirds] Re: Parasitic Jaeger- Cherry Creek SP

Great photos Glenn, better then the ones I got at Chatfield. Now I see a posting that three have been seen at Jumbo, so maybe the one I saw was different and we are having a "jaeger invasion"? That would be awesome. Here I am planing a trip to San Diego and the Imperil Valley this December and

[cobirds] Timnath Reservoir this afternoon

An outing to Timnath Reservoir in Larimer County this afternoon produced 6 Sanderling in the northwest corner of the reservoir along with 2 Pectoral Sandpipers and several Baird's. A Common Tern was on the north shore sand spit in amongst the gulls and cormorants. Several Baird's were also in

[cobirds] Parasitic Jaeger CCSP - Yes (Arapahoe County? )

Several of us just viewed the PAJA between Lake Loop and Smoky Hill picnic area. Loafing about halfway between. Golden brown color and lighter bill with dark nail at end third were visible, as were white under-wing streaks during short flight. Hanging near slanting bouy. Light is much better

[cobirds] Parasitic Jaeger at Cherry Creek, thanks!

To the folks who let us know. Topi and I are watching him. Also great views of at least two Sabine's Gulls at Chatfield and a few Clarks grebes among the numerous Westerns. Sent from my iPhone Elena Holly Klaver Federally Certified Court Interpreter -- You received this message because you

[cobirds] Fall arrivals, Franktown. Douglas

A few fall visitors have arrived here this week. At Castlewood Canyon State Park on Wednesday we encountered three Townsend's Solitaires, here to spend the winter among the "berry"-laden junipers. In our yard, Thrusday, we heard our first Blue Jays of the fall. They don't live here in the

[cobirds] Jaegers

Hi - I just received a text from David Dowell who is up at Jumbo (Logan/Sedgwick) and has an as-yet unidentified jaeger. In addition, I did see the Cherry Creek State Park jaeger this morning around 7am from the south and west parts of the lake. For the most part the bird sat out in the middle

[cobirds] Jaeger at Chatfield (Douglas County)

Dick Schottler just called, he just had a dark jaeger at Chatfield. The bird "buzzed" the gulls at the end of the sandspit at 11:50am and flew towards the east end of the dam. Joey. Joey Kellner Littleton, Colorado -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

[cobirds] Ruby-throated Hummingbird - NO

Birders, I wanted the cooperative male Ruby-throated Hummingbird to stick around for the weekend crowd, but it looks like he's gone. I didn't see him yesterday evening, and a female / immature Black-chinned Hummingbird visited my feeder in peace this morning. I'll post again if he returns.
