[cobirds] Ross's goose, Clement park follow up

2016-11-13 Thread Scott Somershoe
Funny follow up. After walking and birding solo, I ended up going back to Clement Park with my daughter to hang out at the playground for a while. Upon getting home at 4:50 pm, a flock of cackling geese and the Ross's goose flew SE past the house! Good thing I had my binocs with me. And I

Greetings birders, Georgia Doyle and I refound the Red-throated Loon that Nick saw yesterday on Boyd Lake. After thoroughly searching the south end without luck, we relocated to the north end and found it there. We saw it from the northern most parking lot on the west side but unfortunately,

I managed a little time away from the house this afternoon and on my walk around Clement park, I found a Ross's goose among the hundreds of cackling and Canada geese. Maybe it'll fly over the house later. That'd be a sweet yard bird. Scott Somershoe Littleton CO Sent from my iPhone -- You

A female Williamson's Sapsucker was the highlight of a fairly birdy morning at Green Mountain Cemetery in southwest Boulder. She was moving around mostly in the SW corner of the cemetery. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32519210 I stopped by 315 20th Street on my way out, to see if I

Had a few minutes to bird Chatfield this morning. Lake is like glass, and not very many birds on it. I spotted nothing unusual. Not very many landbirds either, but there were a handful of singing Townsend’s Solitaires, which I always enjoy. I was startled by a flushing Long-eared Owl. It
