Hello Fellow COBIRDERS!
Looking for something to do this Sunday? How about some leisure birding at
a Big Sit?
What is a "Big Sit" you ask?
Well a Big Sit is similar to the birding event called a "Big Day", in both

A slow banding day that started nice and turned hot and windy. Only banded
11 new birds:
White-breasted Nuthatch 1
Orange-crowned Warbler 3
Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 4
Lincoln's Sparrow 1
Song Sparrow 1
White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1

Trough a series of texts, email, and Facebook posts I heard of a possible
Scissor-tailed Flycatcher in northern Larimer today. I was a little pessimistic
about finding it because of my late start but was lucky enough to find it. It's
about a half mile north of Ted's Place (hwy 287 and 14 or the
At 12:10 pm today I found 3 juv Sabine's Gull flying near the dam.
The Cattle Egret is still amongst the sheep west of 75th about 1/2 mi north of
